WordPress URL Rewrite v1.1
---------------------------

Disclaimer:
This plugin has been thoroughly tested on various IIS versions and various WordPress versions.
But, if something breaks, I hold no responsibility for it.
I will be more than happy to help you try to fix it though, just visit the Binary Fortress Support Forum (link at the bottom of this document).

Installation Instructions
---------------------------
- Make sure to use the right version for your operating system (either 32bit or 64bit)
- Un-zip this plug-in into a folder somewhere on your web server
- Make sure the "WordPressURLRewrite.ini" file is in the same folder as the "WordPressURLRewrite.dll" file
- Make sure that your web server user account will have READ and WRITE access to the folder where the DLL and INI are located
- Edit the "WordPressURLRewrite.ini" file and configure it as required:

#Paths to Rewrite (not case sensitive)
/
/Blog/
#Path Exceptions (not case sensitive)
/wp-admin
/wp%2dadmin
/wp-content
/wp%2dcontent
/Forum
/Blog/wp-admin
/Blog/wp%2dadmin

- "#Paths to Rewrite" defines all the WordPress installations you would like to provide rewriting for
- For example, "/" provides rewriting for a WordPress installation running in the root
- "/Blog/" provides rewriting for a WordPress installation running in the "Blog" folder
- You can define as many WordPress installations as you want, just put each one on it's own line

- "#Path Exceptions" is a very important section - it defines all the folders you want WordPress URL Rewrite to ignore
- At the very least you should define "/wp-admin" and "/wp-content" so that WordPress can function correctly
- These 2 entries should be in the default "WordPressURLRewrite.ini" file

I have found that anytime you have a path with a special character in it, like the dash "-", it is a good idea
to include both the plain text version and the html encoded version.  ("-" becomes "%2d").

You also need to make sure you have these 2 settings in your PHP.ini file:
cgi.force_redirect = 0
cgi.fix_pathinfo = 1

After your PHP.ini and WordPressURLRewrite.ini files are setup correctly:
- Open up the "Internet Information Services (IIS) Manager" to configure IIS
- Right-click on the website you would like to provide rewriting with, and click "Properties"
- On the "ISAPI Filders" tab click the "Add" button
- In the "Add/Edit Filter Properties" dialog, click the "Browse" button, find the "WordPressURLRewrite.dll" file and click "Open"
- Use the name "WordPressURLRewrite" and click "Ok"
- Click the "Ok" button in the website properties dialog
- IIS has now been configured
- Open up your WordPress admin area ("http://www.yoursite.com/wp-admin/index.php" by default)
- Click on the "Options" tab
- Click on the "Permalinks" tab
- Select the "Custom, specify below" radio button
- In the "Custom structure" box, I recommend using "/%year%/%monthnum%/%postname%/" for the permalink structure
- Click the "Update Permalink Structure" button

Voila!  Your permalinks should now be working.  If they aren't, please review the instructions again.
