For some reason my WP address in the general settings was set to [http://sqlslayer.com?step=2](http://sqlslayer.com?step=2). I just updated that to /wp and everything appears to be working now.

So I started doing some searching and it appears there are a few solutions that people have found … * Adding php.ini: [http://www.keyboardface.com/archives/2005/05/04/wordpress-permalink-with-iis-on-windows/](http://www.keyboardface.com/archives/2005/05/04/wordpress-permalink-with-iis-on-windows/) * Using a custom 404 handler: [http://www.simmonsconsulting.com/2005/11/22/wordpress-permalinks-on-iis/](http://www.simmonsconsulting.com/2005/11/22/wordpress-permalinks-on-iis/) * Yet neither have worked for me … outside of switching to a Linux box, anyone have any advice for me? * Thanks! * Forum: [Plugins](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/plugins-and-hacks/) In reply to: [Looking for a sidebar scroll box](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/looking-for-a-sidebar-scroll-box/) * Thread Starter [MrBean](https://wordpress.org/support/users/mrbean/) * (@mrbean) * [18 years ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/looking-for-a-sidebar-scroll-box/#post-762193) * Doesn’t exist does it? * Forum: [Fixing WordPress](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/how-to-and-troubleshooting/) In reply to: [Using Date and name based permalinks](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/using-date-and-name-based-permalinks/) * Thread Starter [MrBean](https://wordpress.org/support/users/mrbean/) * (@mrbean) * [18 years ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/using-date-and-name-based-permalinks/#post-762711) * Hmm, well, it won’t let me create the .htaccess file, even though the option says “create .htaccess file”.

If so, when I created one, when reloading my page it prompted for a username and password. * Forum: [Fixing WordPress](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/how-to-and-troubleshooting/) In reply to: [Using Date and name based permalinks](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/using-date-and-name-based-permalinks/) * Thread Starter [MrBean](https://wordpress.org/support/users/mrbean/) * (@mrbean) * [18 years ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/using-date-and-name-based-permalinks/#post-762703) * Ok … this is weird … it created /.htmaster and inside a .ok_user … what the hell am I doing here? haha * Forum: [Fixing WordPress](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/how-to-and-troubleshooting/) In reply to: [Using Date and name based permalinks](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/using-date-and-name-based-permalinks/) * Thread Starter [MrBean](https://wordpress.org/support/users/mrbean/) * (@mrbean) * [18 years ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/using-date-and-name-based-permalinks/#post-762702) * Appears that through my control panel I can create a .htaccess file … but it wants a username and password.

I’m not sure if being on a windows server is the best choice … * I was able to create a .htaccess file, but I’m assuming that isn’t going to do me much good as of now right? Does it need to be in my root directory, or in the WP folder? * What needs to be inside the .htaccess file, anything? Is it a different file name for windows? * I’m working with my host now … going slow … * Forum: [Fixing WordPress](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/how-to-and-troubleshooting/) In reply to: [Using Date and name based permalinks](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/using-date-and-name-based-permalinks/) * Thread Starter [MrBean](https://wordpress.org/support/users/mrbean/) * (@mrbean) * [18 years ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/using-date-and-name-based-permalinks/#post-762689) * I see I see … so is this something I should take up with my host?
