# Missing an IfModule – Causing internal 500 error

 * EDIT: Upon further inspection, it looks like that one line should read “AddType
   text/x-js .js4” instead of “ext/x-js .js4” which means some stuff above must 
   have been deleted…FML
 * Was getting an internal 500 error due to an IfModule error. Opened up my .htaccess
   and immediately saw the problem.
 * Right after #End WordPress should be an <IfModule ???????>
    but I have no idea
   what it’s supposed to say after it. This problem just popped out of nowhere. 
   My site was working fine and I made no updates to it or any plugins. I deleted
   that entire IfModule area and the site loaded up, but a few things were wonky.
 * So, what should that IfModule say after it? Thanks.

       # BEGIN WordPress
       <IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
       RewriteEngine On
       RewriteBase /
       RewriteRule ^index\.php$ - [L]
       RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
       RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
       RewriteRule . /index.php [L]
