  • I got round this by installing the wp-supercache module at the recommendation of the Godaddy tech guys. It did work, but its a bit fiddly.

    You are right, hosting on linux will solve it, but some people need windows hosting too (I also run asp.net apps)

    The first problem I had was I couldnt even access my site to install the plugin, but eventually after a few refreshes it worked. Basically I did this:

    * Download plugin from http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/wp-super-cache/

    * Extract the files and upload them to your wp-content folder

    * go into your godaddy hosting account. Under content, go to file manager.

    * Check the box next to wp-content and click permissions. Uncheck inherit and check Read and Write. Click ok (Yeah I know not good to make this writable, but its only temporary)

    * Go back to your wordpress plugins page and enable the plugin.

    * Next, go back into your file manager and go to wp-content/cache. Make this folder read and write too.

    * Next, edit your wp-config.php file in your ftp editor and add

    define(‘WP_CACHE’, true);

    near the top of your file. I put it after the db collate define section.

    * Now visit the settings page of the plugin and turn the status ON. You can only do this when wp-config is writable, which is why we did that. Save the page settings.

    * Now go back into the file manager and make the wp-config directory inherit.

    * Hit your site and you will see the pages start to get cached.

    They should now get served faster and be able to take a Digging.

    Hope that helps someone – Im with enlaceflorida though in that if you can, maybe linux hosting is more appropriate until Godaddy sort this.

    That link didn’t work for me – if you are still having problems, Ive stuck up an explanation as well as a web.config sample file for downloading at http://www.globalartwork.com/2009/wordpress-permalinks-on-windows-iis/

    Post back here or in the comments of that page if it didn’t help 🙂
