 * Hi,
 * I just want to know if this plugin is compatible with WP version 3.8.1,
    I install
   this plugin in my blog but keep getting error about the /.htaccess file. It says
   I have to manually put the code above the wordpress directives.
 *     ```
       # BEGIN W3TC Browser Cache
       <IfModule mod_deflate.c>
           <IfModule mod_headers.c>
               Header append Vary User-Agent env=!dont-vary
           </IfModule>
               AddOutputFilterByType DEFLATE text/css text/x-component application/x-javascript application/javascript text/javascript text/x-js text/html text/richtext image/svg+xml text/plain text/xsd text/xsl text/xml image/x-icon application/json
           <IfModule mod_mime.c>
               # DEFLATE by extension
               AddOutputFilter DEFLATE js css htm html xml
           </IfModule>
       </IfModule>
       # END W3TC Browser Cache
       ```
   
 * so I put the code on. It giving me the same error over and over again.
 * Why can’t I get this to work?
 * Thanks alot.
