Support

Hi

I ran the create htaccess process on my site. It created the file, no problem. But when I ran it through chatgpt, it came up with an extra closing tag on one of the blocks. It says that it may cause some 500 issues from time to time, but I haven't experienced any.

I just wanted to flag it to your attention in case it was something you also thought was incorrect and wanted to change it in later versions.

The extra closing tag is right at the bottom of this block I have added below.

Kind Regards
GW

Oh, it also flagged this block, the first closing </ifmodule> is being flagged as being in a different case (all lowercase). I couldn't tell you if it was an issue or not, apologies if it's nothing.
