ISAPI_Rewrite Rules for WordPress on IIS

January 31, 2006

This seems like a no-brainer post. Not sure why I didn’t think of it before. These are the ISAPI_Rewrite rules that I am using for this WordPress installation running on Windows 2003 and IIS to get clean/pretty URLs:

<br /> RewriteCond Host: (?:www\.)?swoofware\.com<br /> RewriteRule /posts/([0-9]{4})?/?([0-9]{1,2})?/?([0-9]{1,2})?/?([_0-9a-z-]+)?([0-9]+)?/?$ /index.php\?year=$1&monthnum=$2&day=$3&name=$4&page=$5 [I,U,O,L]<br /> RewriteRule /page/?(.*) /index.php\?paged=$1 [I,U,O,L]<br /> RewriteRule /feed/?([_0-9a-z-]+)?/?$ /wp-feed.php\?feed=$1 [I,U,O]<br /> RewriteRule /comments/feed/?([_0-9a-z-]+)?/?$ /wp-feed.php\?feed=$1&withcomments=1 [I,U,O]<br /> RewriteRule /posts/([0-9]{4})?/?([0-9]{1,2})?/?([0-9]{1,2})?/?([_0-9a-z-]+)?/trackback/?$ /wp-trackback.php\?year=$1&monthnum=$2&day=$3&name=$4 [I,U,O]<br /> RewriteRule /tags/?(.*) /index.php\?category_name=$1 [I,U,O,L]<br /> RewriteRule (/about.*) /index.php\?pagename=$1 [I,U,O,L]<br /> RewriteRule (/projects.*) /index.php\?pagename=$1 [I,U,O,L]<br /> RewriteRule (/resume.*) /index.php\?pagename=$1 [I,U,O,L]<br />

The rules above summarize the various ISAPI_Rewrite forum threads related to WordPress. I really like the product and have had no issues and in general the support forum is great. However, as popular as we might like to think WordPress is, I don’t think they care because they really haven’t put forth much of an effort to really understand what the various posters are trying to accomplish. Here’s hoping that this helps.

How’s that for a short post to make up for the previous book I just wrote? Hope it helps. I don’t guarantee it is complete, but it seems to be working pretty well. Drop a note in the comments if I’m missing anything.
