Jesse	Once every couple of days, my htaccess file gets rewritten and adds language folder /en to lines 211 and 218 of the image i joined, I found this post on your site and this seems to be the same thing: https://wpml.org/errata/htaccess-is-rewritten-with-language-folder/. Is this answer still relevant? I know there's a code i can paste that is supposed to be a workaround, but i can't recreate the bug where it gets rewritten so i don't know how to deduce if the code on that page is working. It always happend when we are working on the backend of the site, that much I can say. Can you help me figure this out? If possible, can you answer to julien@bang-bangmarketing.com Thank you.

Andreas W. Supporter Languages: English (English ) German (Deutsch ) Timezone: America/Lima (GMT-05:00)	Hello Julian, The problem actually comes from certain third-party plugins calling flush_rewrite_rules(true) function too often. This means it is kind of hard to recreate and also not directly caused by WPML. Please add the code from our Errata at the bottom of the functions.php file of your theme. It should then prevent the issue from occurring again, but you will need to leave the code inside the file in order to take effect. Best regards Andreas

Jesse	I put that code in my functions.php. I will wait a couple days before setting this ticket in "resolved". Thank you.
