WordPress Nginx Configuration - GoDaddy Managed WP


Some of the other post are helpful but only after I get help on my post.

_Managed WP, GoDaddy _Tools available: in GD: "File Browser", "phpMyAdmin" (takes me to a URL UI). _phpMyAdmin:

DB server Percona & Web server nginx/1.18.0

Problem

However, we can set our really cool permalink configuration directly by editing Nginx. We will use try_files directive so WordPress can start using pretty permalinks. Let’s see the configuration for WordPress installed on the root of your domain, and also on a directory called /blog

WordPress Nginx Configuration for root installations

Search for the location / block inside nginx configuration and add the following line inside:

try_files $uri $uri/ /index.php?$args;

My questions / issues

Everything available to me and working properly does not produced desired returns when searching...


Solution

  • Problem solved! There is a reason so many online articles talk about Apache and few talk about nginx (concerning GoDaddy, Managed WordPress, Multisite Network Install). The reason is because A) Managed WordPress from G-Diddy is incompatible with Multi-site Network installation. Why? The parts of the server and the control over directories needed to achieve Multisite Network install are x) not accessible x) non-existent do to lack of tools (this is why the monthly cost is lower). {I keep mentioning Multisite Network, that was the end-goal; Pretty Permalinks setup was a prerequisite to Multi-site). B) All Managed WordPress offers from GDiddy come with nginx so: no Apache, meaning !no!htaccess.php file exist! C) No Apache also means no cPanel, meaning, a bunch of other s**t doesn't exist too...

    Be sure to check my next post which is already halfway to a self answer but I don't believe I will be able to fully answer it so the need to post (and partially) self answer is not just so I can pat my own back, still need big time help!
