.htaccess won’t work on IIS Server so permalinks don’t work properly. For that, we need following steps to make it work.
Step 1: Create a web.config file on the root folder of WordPress installation if it does not exist.
Step 2: Use Paste following code
<configuration>
<system.webServer>
<rewrite>
<rules>
<rule name=”wordpress” patternSyntax=”Wildcard”>
<match url=”*” />
<conditions>
<add input=”{REQUEST_FILENAME}” matchType=”IsFile” negate=”true” />
<add input=”{REQUEST_FILENAME}” matchType=”IsDirectory” negate=”true” />
</conditions>
<action type=”Rewrite” url=”index.php” />
</rule>
</rules>
</rewrite>
</system.webServer>
</configuration>
That’s it. Feel free to ask here if any question. Normally I don’t have much time for blogging so i just do everything in short.
