    Hi,

    sorry, I’m not a native English speaker.
    This bot is legal in France. Its purpose is to register any published content on Internet, as books, newspaper, etc. The “Dépôt légal” AKA legal deposit, has been established in 1537 by François 1er. See Wikipédia.

    Host Name: robot3-depot-legal-web.bnf.frAgent utilisateur : Mozilla/5.0 (compatible; bnf.fr_bot; +https://www.bnf.fr/fr/capture-de-votre-site-web-par-le-robot-de-la-bnf)

    Would you authorize it?

    Thanks a lot.

    Glad to help.

    The only reason that a bot gets blocked : they are not obeying the site’s robots.txt.

    If you want to allow a bot, add it’s IP address to the “Whitelist IPs” plugin settings.
