    Hi All,

    I have wp super cache installed and gzip supported via my host.

    I have "enable compression" on, but when i check on:

    http://www.gidnetwork.com/tools/gzip-test.php

    It says GZIP is not enabled.

    I have allready tried to enable gzip via MySQL into 1 in the wp_options table, but every time my site is opened it just goes back to 0

    How do i make this work?

    I would suggest you to try W3 Total Cache plugin. A lot more features and very advanced.

    Add this code to your functions.php

    function enable_gzip() {
    <?php if (substr_count($_SERVER['HTTP_ACCEPT_ENCODING'], 'gzip')) ob_start("ob_gzhandler"); else ob_start(); ?>

    }
