    By default there is no htaccess code in BPS or BPS Pro that would block the Google HTML site verification.  Are you using any Custom Code that blocks by IP address?  Are you using any other Custom Code that would block HTML files in general?  Check BPS Custom Code and post any code that you added that could be blocking Google or HTML files.

    In:

    CUSTOM CODE DENY BROWSER ACCESS TO THESE FILES:
    Add or remove files that you want to block or allow access to here
    
    RewriteEngine On
    RewriteRule ^/robots\.txt$ - [L]
    RewriteCond %{HTTP_REFERER} !^http://(.+\.)?argondivision\.com/ [NC]
    RewriteCond %{HTTP_REFERER} !^$
    RewriteRule .*\.(jpe?g|gif|bmp|png)$ - [F]
    
    <FilesMatch "^(googled8cc2467acebb3e1\.html)">
    Order Allow,deny
    Allow from all
    #Allow from 88.77.66.55
    </FilesMatch>

    Delete all of that custom code and the problem should be resolved.  You do not need to protect the google verification html file or your robots.txt file.  They cannot be exploited or compromised.  Using that code will cause problems for Google and your website.
