image Found this special ISAPI “WordPress URL Rewrite”, it’s a free ISAPI application for IIS 7.0.

The features are:

  • Can run with multiple WordPress installations in an IIS Web Site (for example: / and /MyBlog/)
  • Has a configurable path Exceptions list (for example: defining /Forum as an exception would prevent any pages in this folder from being re-written)
  • Works with IIS 5.0, 5.1 and 6.0
  • Works with WordPress 2.0 or higher
  • Easy to setup, easy to maintain

It could be an alternative to Microsoft’s own URL Rewrite module, which I’ve blogged about in an earlier post.

Wordpress 2.6 Permalink issue

Upgraded my blog to Wordpress 2.6 yesterday and encountered an issue with permalinks not working anymore.

Apparently this is a wellknown issue, especially when you host your Wordpress blog on Windows and use permalinks with the index.php in the link, then the permalinks may fail.

I found a few solutions to this, the first one was to change some of the php files and the second was to add some text into the Category base and tag base within the admin console. I went for the second solution, since it seemed must simple and adding the settings worked for me.

Here’s what I found of solutions on the issue:

1. PHP file change

2. Category base and Tag base solution (the simple one) :)

Wordpress are working on it and the fix is included in the upcoming version 2.6.1.

I have done some major changes to my blog today. It’s been optimized with some changes to my theme and migrated to the latest version of WordPress and a new server running IIS 7.0.

With WordPress 2.5 the links will now be more SEO friendly. For anyone who might be interested in what I have done, the changes done are:

  • Upgrade to latest version of WordPress (2.51)
  • Minor changes to the theme, should still be quite user friendly - I hope you all agree :)
  • Added Tags functionality to the blogs
  • Migrated the blog to a server running IIS 7.0 and PHP

I hope you all find this an improvement to both performance and the blog in general. If you experience any issues you are most welcome to write me (peter AT iis-digest DOT com), and I will make sure to fix it.
