 * I am getting a message in WP
 * **You should update your .htaccess now. **
 * Then says
 * **If your .htaccess file were writable, we could do this automatically, but it
   isn’t so these are the mod_rewrite rules you should have in your .htaccess file.
   Click in the field and press CTRL + a to select all.**
 * and the code bellow says
 * **<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
    RewriteEngine On RewriteBase / RewriteRule ^index\.
   php$ – [L] RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME}!-
   d RewriteRule . /index.php [L] </IfModule>
 * However I don’t find this file in the server, should I create one? or where this
   file resides to modify or if now how I create one and where I put it, just in
   the root?
