 * Hi, just installed the plugin today. All seemed to go fine.
 * In the settings of WP Super Cache though, I am seeing this error message now:
 * ———————————————————————
    Mod Rewrite rules cannot be updated!
 * You must have BEGIN and END markers in /home1/kumagai/public_html/globalnetprofits.
   com/.htaccess for the auto update to work. They look like this and surround the
   main WordPress mod_rewrite rules:
 *  # BEGIN WordPress
    RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME}!-
   d RewriteRule . /index.php [L] # END WordPress ———————————————————————
 * I looked for that code and I don’t see it in the .htaccess file. Not sure why
   it was deleted when I setup BPS. Should I just manually put that back in? If 
   so, should it be at the top or bottom of the file?
 * Thanks,
 * Shawn

 * I happened to browse the last support topic and found this:
 * “BPS already has/uses the standard WordPress htaccess code (the same code that
   W3TC is complaining is not there). It is incorporated into the standard BPS root
   htaccess file code, but is in a different format so W3TC does not see it. You
   can just remove/delete the default WordPress Rewrite htaccess code and dismiss/
   hide the W3TC displayed message.”
 * Does that apply to the error I’m getting from WP Super Cache as well and I should
   just ignore it?
 * Thanks.

 * Yes. The same exact thing applies to both W3TC and WPSC. Both W3TC and WPSC check
   for these WordPress htaccess code markers/placeholders in the root htaccess file:#
   BEGIN WordPress and # END WordPress to determine if the default WordPress Rewrite
   code exists in the root htaccess file.
 * For years we were adding these WordPress markers/placeholders in the BPS root
   htaccess file and for years we were dealing with constant problems created by
   the WordPress flush_rewrite_rules() function used by other plugins and themes.
   And for years folks had ongoing problems with that issue.
 * In BPS .51.2 we decided to not include the standard WordPress markers/placeholders.
   The problems that we were dealing with continuously for years and the problems
   that folks were having for years due to the flush_rewrite_rules() function used
   by other plugins and themes are no longer occurring anymore. **Why we waited 
   so long to do this is the real question. 😉**
    [https://wordpress.org/plugins/bulletproof-security/changelog/](https://wordpress.org/plugins/bulletproof-security/changelog/)
 * Ok so what is happening is that since the WordPress placeholder/markers do not
   exist in the BPS root htaccess file then the checks done by W3TC and WPSC are
   obviously not going to find those placeholders/markers. The standard WordPress
   Rewrite code exists in the standard BPS root htaccess code, BUT without the WordPress
   placeholders/markers.
 * So yes just ignore the WPSC check and if a dismiss button or link is provided
   then click that dismiss button or link.
