Go Daddy Host Error

Unfortunately, GoDaddy often applies special security settings to their WordPress-hosted pages out of the box. In order to get things working with Wodify, you'll need to reach out to them and ask them to update the .htaccess file on your webserver to give Wodify permissions to post to your site via 0Auth. Follow these steps below in order to get things working!

1. Log in to your GoDaddy account. 
2. From your profile, click Account Settings > Login & PIN
   
3. Copy or write down your Support PIN:
   
4. Click the Help icon at the top right, and scroll down to click the Chat with us! button
   
5. State the following to your chat agent:
   Hi - I need to update the WordPress section of my .htaccess file in the public_html folder on my [insert your web site name] server to the following:
   
   # BEGIN WordPress

   <IfModule mod_rewrite.c>

   RewriteEngine On

   RewriteCond %{HTTP:Authorization} ^(.*)

   RewriteRule .* - [e=HTTP_AUTHORIZATION:%1]

   RewriteBase /

   RewriteRule ^index\.php$ - [E=X-HTTP_AUTHORIZATION:%{HTTP:Authorization},QSA,L]

   RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f

   RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d

   RewriteRule . /index.php [E=X-HTTP_AUTHORIZATION:%{HTTP:Authorization},QSA,L]

   </IfModule>

   # END WordPress

    

   # BEGIN WordPress

   <IfModule mod_rewrite.c>

   RewriteEngine On

   RewriteCond %{HTTP:Authorization} ^(.*)

   RewriteRule .* - [e=HTTP_AUTHORIZATION:%1]

   RewriteBase /

   RewriteRule ^index\.php$ - [E=X-HTTP_AUTHORIZATION:%{HTTP:Authorization},QSA,L]

   RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f

   RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d

   RewriteRule . /index.php [E=X-HTTP_AUTHORIZATION:%{HTTP:Authorization},QSA,L]

   </IfModule>

   # END WordPress
6. The agent will ask you to share the Support PIN that you copied earlier. Provide that number to them.
7. After that, the agent will make the change for you. You can verify it by going to My Products > Web Hosting > Manage > Files & FTP > File Manager.
8. Double click on the .htaccess file to review the changes.
   
9. The file should look like this:
   
10. All Done! Now you should be able to post WODs on your WordPress website hosted by GoDaddy!

Note: WODs not posting?  Have your web developer add the RewriteRule .* - [E=HTTP_AUTHORIZATION:%{HTTP:Authorization}] to the .htaccess file on the server to get the authentication process to succeed. 

Note:  Be sure to Disable Blog Integration if you deactivate your WordPress account.
