 * We’re about to release a fix version (3.8.5.1), but don’t worry, these messages
   are “warnings” and not “errors” (meaning it won’t break your site but it needs
   to be fixed). We’re working on the fix and update you here as soon as possible.

 * If you’re referring to the “Exclude scripts from being moved to the footer” box.
   I don’t have anything in that box. It’s empty.
