 * Hi All,
 * I’m very new to WordPress.
 * I have setup a word-press site and it’s running on IIS8.
 * To remove the index.php from the url, I have followed [http://www.iis.net/learn/extensions/url-rewrite-module/enabling-pretty-permalinks-in-wordpress](http://www.iis.net/learn/extensions/url-rewrite-module/enabling-pretty-permalinks-in-wordpress).
   And used the custom structure as permalink settings.
 * My home page is working fine. But other pages are getting 404 error.
 * For default permalink settings, it’s working perfectly.
 * Please advice.
 * Br

 * It sounds like your web.config file isn’t in place correctly. I recommend double-
   checking over it.

 * web.config file in wwwroot folder.
 * Is that correct?

 * As long as this is the same location as your WordPress site, yes, that’s fine.
   Be sure that all code within it is correct as well.
