 * Hi,
 * I’ve already read multiple threads about the warning after last update:
    _WordPress
   301 redirect enabled. We recommend to enable the .htaccess redirect option on
   your specific setup._
 * To enable that setting you might have to make changes to the htaccess file as
   well. There are lots of users that don’t have access to that. But instead of 
   the htaccess redirect you can also use the default/native WP redirect. So IMO
   this htaccess redirect is not a very important/major setting.
 * If you’re planning an update anytime soon, you might want to consider removing
   that warning, or make ik less “important” (remove the “1” for example).
 * Guido

 * Hi Guido,
 * This setting will automatically write the .htaccess redirect to your .htaccess
   file. But if you’re not comfortable enabling it, you can dismiss it by clicking
   the “X” in the notice, at the right. This will clear the notice.
 * We added this warning because we always get a lot of questions about the .htaccess
   redirect, if it is an option in the settings, or when there’s caching, why the
   redirect is not working. The aim is to point users in the direction of the .htaccess
   redirect, as it will also work when the site is cached, and is faster than the
   wp redirect.

 * Hi Rogier,
 * Although users are wondering why there’s a warning suddenly, I now understand
   why you’ve did this.
