# Permalink Problems – Multi Page Posts

 * Hello,
 * I have recently moved from a Linux host to hosting my WordPress site within a
   Windows server environment.
 * I am having some exceptionally weird issues with Pretty Permalinks, specifically
   when a post has multiple pages. If a page has one or more pages, the link from
   the post does not work it says there is a redirect issue at play.
 * However if you add a trailing slash manually the page loads fine. For example:
 * [http://www.daveplays.co.uk/reviews/sapphire-r7-260x-review/436](http://www.daveplays.co.uk/reviews/sapphire-r7-260x-review/436)
 * [http://www.daveplays.co.uk/reviews/sapphire-r7-260x-review/436/2](http://www.daveplays.co.uk/reviews/sapphire-r7-260x-review/436/2)
 * [http://www.daveplays.co.uk/reviews/sapphire-r7-260x-review/436/2/](http://www.daveplays.co.uk/reviews/sapphire-r7-260x-review/436/2/)
 * I noticed in my permalink structure that it was set to /%category%/%postname%/%
   post_id%
 * However if I set it to
    /%category%/%postname%/%post_id%**/** which adds the 
   trailing slash the page will still not load, **until you remove the trailing 
   slash**
 * My web.config file which IIS picks up fine looks like:
 *     ```
       <?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
       <configuration>
       	<system.webServer>
       		<staticContent>
       			<remove fileExtension=".svg" />
       			<mimeMap fileExtension=".svg" mimeType="image/svg+xml" />
       		</staticContent>
               <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>
       </rules>
       </rewrite>
       	</system.webServer>
       </configuration>
       ```
   
 * If I use IIS to force a trailing slash I run into the same issue. If I use any
   other permalink structure than the default ugly one the page links do not work.
 * Has anyone experienced this issue?

 * SOLVED – Issue related to the Site Address (URL) having capitals whilst the WordPress
   Address (URL) was all lowercase.
