   Hi

   I am having a little trouble with navigating my site. I changed the permalink to show %pagename% but kept getting 404s. Upon realizing that write permissions were not enabled, we copied and pasted the following code into the web.config file.

   <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>

   As a result, the permalinks worked and the navigation went smoother. After creating new posts however, 404s still appeared. I went back and added write permissions to the web.config file, updated the permalinks settings and I was informed the structure was updated. These posts are still showing 404 when using the page name, but not when using page_id. I commented out some extra code in the web.config file

   <!--<directoryBrowse enabled="false"/>
       <defaultDocument>
         <files>
           <clear/>
           <add value="Default.htm"/>
           <add value="Default.asp"/>
           <add value="index.htm"/>
           <add value="index.html"/>
           <add value="iisstart.htm"/>
           <add value="default.aspx"/>
           <add value="index.php"/>
         </files>
       </defaultDocument>-->

   but not sure if this has anything to do with it. I'd appreciate any help that can be provided. Thanks!

   Here's my web.config. Really just a copy from the WP prettylinks page with the addition of a defaultdocument. Works fine.

   <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
   <configuration>
   <system.webServer>
   <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/{R:0}" />
           </rule>
       </rules>
   </rewrite>
   <defaultDocument>
         <files>
           <clear/>
           <add value="index.php"/>
         </files>
   </defaultDocument>
   <httpErrors errorMode="Detailed" />
   </system.webServer>
   </configuration>
