## Description

It was brought to my attention shortly after releasing this plugin that WordPress
automatically flushes
 rewrite rules when you visit WP-Admin > Settings > Permalinks.
Ingenious, right? So don’t bother installing it, but feel free to check out the 
code if you are looking for an example of how to:

 1. Use the WordPress Settings API to add an option to an existing Settings page;
 2. Use the WordPress AJAX API in conjunction with your plugin options;
 3. Over-engineer a solution to a problem that has already been solved.

Enjoy! 🙂

## Screenshots

 * [[
 * A `Flush Rewrite Rules` button is added to WP-Admin > Settings > Permalinks.
