Ugh. GoDaddy Managed Wordpress has blocked web php access. per their tech support:
I have cross checked with my team on this and I found The Managed WordPress Team, have decided to roll out a change to block direct PHP file access to better protect for you and improve our security posture. This change will block all web requests to PHP files inside the following directories:
/uploads
/files
/wp-content
/wp-includes
/akismet
This list of directories was chosen as the most common location the type of attacks we are trying to prevent live.
