Hi,

Can anyone help me with URL rewriting please?

I have Wordpress installed and have the following web.config file for use with rewriting the wordpress url's:

<system.webServer>

<rules>

</conditions>

</rule></rules>

</rewrite>

</system.webServer>

</configuration>

This works fine and I have no issues.

My problem is trying to get WebWiz url rewriting working in conjunction with wordpress.

If I upload the WebWiz one into my /forum folder then I receive page not found errors.

I *think* I need to exclude my /forum directory from being re-written in the wordpress web.config file but I'm not really sure.

Any suggestions?

Thanks!

Dan

Thanks - it kind of put me in the right direction. I didnt realise the re-write module added itself under IIS.

What I was able to do was upload a web.config file for wordpress in the root of my website.

Upload a WebWiz web.config file in the /forum folder on my website

Run IIS manager, browsed to /forum folder, run the URL Rewrite module and disable the wordpress rule only for the /forum folder.

Fingers crossed all seems to be working ok now.

I have no idea how to manually write a web.config file to sort this out mind...

Thanks
