I spoke with GoDaddy. They believe it is because it is a “managed” WordPress account and that cache cannot be turned off. To resolve, the tech said it would be best for me to move to a linux c-panel account, but he could not guarantee that GoDaddy would allow me to swap to another account. Here is a brief rundown of the conversations:
You: 1. plugin works and is up-to-date when signed into the WordPress account.
2. when the “event” changes, it stalls (unless signed into the WordPress account). 3. If plugin is deactivated and reactivated, it works for all viewers, until the event changes, then it stalls again.
4. flushing cache has no change on it being stalled.
5. CDN has already been turned off having no impact.
6. plugin is correct when signed into the WordPress account. What are the differences in being logged into the account and not to show two different perspectives?
Danilo Ž: Thank you for information. Allow me a few more minutes to consult with tech leads.
Danilo Ž: Managed WordPress plans can’t have cache disabled. Here’s what I can suggest: considering your situation, you might want to think about switching to a cPanel (Linux hosting) plan. While I can’t offer a refund for your Managed WordPress plan due to our refund policy, our company sometimes makes exceptions, especially if you explain that you intend to use the refunded money to switch to cPanel. They might be flexible in working with you on this. Just keep in mind that migrating your site to the new plan will be needed to be done from your side.
You: okay. let me think on this. we launched the site right before our big event coming up in the first week of April. I’m not sure I have the bandwidth (time) to migrate right now.
You: so you believe it is the caching of the managed WordPress account?
Danilo Ž: I am almost certain that is a cache issue. Managed WordPress plans are for more static websites, regular presentation sites.
You: understood. let me sleep on this to see if. can get this done next week.
Danilo Ž: Here is our complete article on how to submit a refund request for a product that is out of the refund policy: https://uk.godaddy.com/help/request-a-refund-exception-42203
Danilo Ž: Please make sure that in comment of request, you write why you want the change and that you plan to remain GoDaddy customer, just need cPanel plan for your site to work properly. Like I said I can not promise you anything from my side. This was all friendly advice.
