 * I’m having a problem trying to run a Site Audit for my website, I already whitelisted
   all IP’s provided by Semrush and try other things but it didn’t work. I’m suspecting
   it’s something with my website since it is the only one I used Bootstrap Custom
   Theme instead of Elementor.
 * Can you help me with this problem?
 * The page I need help with: _[[log in](https://login.wordpress.org/?redirect_to=https%3A%2F%2Fwordpress.org%2Fsupport%2Ftopic%2Fwordpress-blocking-semrushs-bot%2F%3Foutput_format%3Dmd&locale=en_US)
   to see the link]_

 * WordPress itself does not block any bots, IPs, or useragents.
 * If you’re not using a plugin to provide such functionality, or are not manually
   blocking them in .htaccess, then the block is coming from your hosting provider,
   most likely via mod_security.
