 * I am installing WF on a managed WordPress site and when I try and optimize WF,
   it asks me to add a line of code to the phi.ini file. Speaking with GoDaddy support,
   they said managed WP uses a .user.ini file instead and hade me create it in the
   root folder. I did and inserted the code but it would not finalize the installation.
   Has anyone had a similar issue and found a solution?
 * Thanks, Scott
