-**Important:** Your rewrite rules must //exactly match// your backend's mobile detection (i.e. the string you entered in Step 5 above). If these do not match, your rewrite rules may think that a device is mobile while the backend does not (and vice-versa). This can cause, for example, the desktop version of a page to be cached and flagged as the mobile version which will then be wrongly served to all mobile viewers.

+===== Desktop Version Showing on Mobile =====
+This case illustrates the importance of placing rewrite rules at the top of the .htaccess file.

+Let's say you've set up a mobile view in the Magento 1.8 backend, like so, and have verified that the mobile view is working fine.

-After enabling LiteMage, the user setup rewrite rules in .htaccess with exact matching string with above Magento backend setup, however, desktop version is still showing on mobile with LiteMage. What's wrong with it?
+After enabling LiteMage, you add rewrite rules to the bottom of your .htaccess file, and use the exact same user agent string that you used above in the Magento backend setup. However, with LiteMage enabled, the desktop version is showing on mobile. Why?

-By further checking the full .htaccess file, the above rules have been added to the end of .htaccess.  Other rules like ''RewriteRule .* index.php [L]'' stopped the cache rules being executed.  The cache rule should be always placed on the very top of the .htaccess. After the rules relocated to the top, everything is working fine now.
