@esmi: Thank you.
@govpatel: Root folder, like usual (not my first manual wordpress installation). What I’ve found is that this website’s hosting is on IIS 6 at GoDaddy and that might be a reason…this is where it’s getting slightly too technical for me, but I’ve found that upgrading the hosting to IIS 7 might solve this. Here is the info page if anyone’s interested: http://support.godaddy.com/help/article/4138/upgrading-your-windows-hosting-account-to-iis-7
I’ve hit the button upgrade, and now well, we have to wait as GoDaddy says it takes up to 24h to change this.
