Question: Why is WordPress adding “index.php” to my permalinks?
I have a WordPress installation on a Win server (not by choice) and it’s got an odd glitch I can only assume is caused by IIS’s lack of mod_rewrite support.

My URL looks like this

http://www.resumebear.com/blog/index.php/2009/02/17/want-a-job-become-an-engineer/

My URL SHOULD look like this

http://www.resumebear.com/blog/2009/02/17/want-a-job-become-an-engineer/

Yeah, it’s because of no mod_rewrite.

Do you know that you can install Apache webserver on Windows?

Question: How do I remove “index.php” from my wordpress url?
I use SurpassHosting for my website, and I’m using WordPress for my layout. Except all of my links are “www.sitename.com/index.php/stuff”, where I’d like them to be just “www.sitename.com/stuff”.

WordPress says I have to install some kind of Apache mod_rewrite or something, but I don’t know what that is or how to do it.

Help?
This is a WordPress site, not mine (I’m not in the Twilight business…), who has what I want:

www.Twilighters.org is the homepage, and then they have “http://twilighters.org/faqs”, etc. Whereas on my site, if I create a new page on WordPress and link to it from the homepage, the URL has to be “www.site.com/index.php/faq” in order to work. Why??

Am I creating new pages wrong? I just use the new page function on WordPress. Should I be doing something manual through my cPanel?

Answer by Dougiepoos
index.php is the root directory. It cannot be like”www.sitename.com/stuff”. You’ll have to write something like “www.sitename.com/home/stuff”, unless you want your root directory to be /stuff

Question: WordPress HELP! How do I direct the “home.html” to my wordpress blog?
I have a sever hosted WordPress blog but when I want my domain (Example: www.dog.com) to show my blog, all I get is my “home.html” file.

Is there some code I have to implement in my home.html file or do I have to move it to one of the wordpress files?

Answer:

Answer by Jeff P
Delete the home.html file and see if it redirects to your blog. Usually the .html file comes first followed by dynamic pages like index.php.
