Hi,

I installed Wordpress to my hosting, and url's have "index.php" node that I want to remove. Is there any solution that you know?

If you are hosting your wordpress website with us here at Web Wiz you would need to setup some URL Rewrite Rules in your websites web.config file found in the your websites wwwroot folder.

Download the web.config file from your website and open it in notepad and locate the <system.webServer> section.

Add the following rewrite rules to the <system.webServer> section, save and then reupload your web.confug file;


<rewrite>
 <rules>
  <rule name="Main Rule" stopProcessing="true">
   <match url=".*" />
   <conditions logicalGrouping="MatchAll">
    <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>

If you get stuck open a support ticket from your Client Area account and we will add the rewrite rule for you.
