Window servers uses different way for URL rewriting. But as I do not have the possibility to install Windows server, I don’t have any way of testing it.
Thanks, but could anyone can guide me on this please?
Anyone?
Thanks but I already have that web.config code in. I am not a programmer and I need help on how to convert / to code that in web.config file.
By default generated code:
# BEGIN WPAdminURL
<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
RewriteEngine On
RewriteRule ^secret-login/?$ /wp-login.php [QSA,L]
</IfModule>
# END WPAdminURL
But how to convert that in Web.config file?
They stated that the WP should automatically generate proper code as you can see here: http://codex.wordpress.org/images/8/82/Web.config_file_contents.png
But here is an online .htaccess to web.config converter you could try http://cbsa.com.br/tools/online-convert-htaccess-to-web-config.aspx
Doesn’t work.
Here is the converted code:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<configuration>
<system.webServer>
<rewrite>
<rules>
<rule name="WordPress Rule" stopProcessing="true">
<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?page_id={R:0}" />
</rule>
<rule name="rule 1E" stopProcessing="true">
<match url="^overseer/?$" />
<action type="Rewrite" url="//wp-login.php" appendQueryString="true" />
</rule>
</rules>
</rewrite>
</system.webServer>
</configuration>
Maybe to try like this:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<configuration>
<system.webServer>
<rewrite>
<rules>
<rule name="rule 1E" stopProcessing="true">
<match url="^overseer/?$" />
<action type="Rewrite" url="//wp-login.php" appendQueryString="true" />
</rule>
<rule name="WordPress Rule" stopProcessing="true">
<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?page_id={R:0}" />
</rule>
</rules>
</rewrite>
</system.webServer>
</configuration>
This is great!
Thank you. It is working now.
But can explain why the code positioning just to move on top and it work, how come?
As you can see, you have 2 rules in that code. <rule…></rule>
The thing is that the server checks one rule at a time. So if the rule is met, it is executed without checking the next rule. So by placing our rule on the top, we are assuring it is checked first.
Glad I could help. 🙂
