 * Hello All!
    While using the latest release of W3TC: I want to know if there are
   supposed to be additions written to the .htaccess file when enabling the Cloudflare
   extension and turning it on in General Settings?
 * I had expected there to be some, yet I don’t see any.
 * Note: I have also enabled Cloudflare at my host, and still nothing related has
   been written to my .htaccess file.
 * So, if there are supposed to be Cloudflare settings written to my .htaccess file,
   what are they? And why won’d W3TC write them in them automatically for me?
 * Thank you – in advance!
    TJ

 * I don’t think there should be. The primary function of W3TC’s plugin is to restore
   visitor IPs & allow you to turn certain CloudFlare features on or off.
