   Hi everybody,

   I would like to ask you why every page of my wordpress installation is under index.php.

   For example the url of the contact page is: http://www.mysite/index.php/contact/

   Can I change this to http://www.mysite/contact for every page?

   Thank you for your time.

   What urls are entered in Settings -> General? What type of server are you using? windows or *nix?

   Hi Esmi,

   Thank you for the answer.

   In Settings-->General both WordPress and Site Url are just the domain e.g. http://www.mysite.com

   I use windows server.

   Are you using custom permalinks?

   I have selected the post name.

   As I see the post name is http://mysite.com/index.php/sample-post/

   Everywhere there is the index.php

   Furthermore the custom (even though it is not selected) is like this: http://mysite.com/index.php/sample-post/

   I have selected the post name.

   Then the cause will be a combination of the fact that you are using custom permalinks but you are using a Windows server (which doesn't handle rewriting well).

   See http://codex.wordpress.org/Using_Permalinks#Permalinks_without_mod_rewrite

   This is an issue for me as some plugins tend to ignore the index.php...

   I will try to think a solution

   Thank you Esmi
