 * Current version seems to overwrite our htaccess content, thereby disabling rewrites/
   pretty permalinks. How to stop this behaviour, save for uninstalling it?

 * Hey Nowton,
 * When does this happen? iThemes Security should only write in it’s own module.
 * Could you provide a little more information on how to recreate this?
 * Thanks,

 * We have a multisite installation and when we re-add rewrite rules to htaccess,
   then set permalink rules from one of the subsites the rules are removed.

 * I’ve added the rules again and set the file to 444. Let’s see what happens next.
