My CE links are broken: Permalink "index.php/" disappears

[Stephen P Brown]

CE Settings page indicates URL as follows:
http://festivalofpsalms.com/index.php/performances/presenters/list
Upon pasting into browser & pressing enter, the section “index.php/” disappears and therefore the page cannot be found.
Same happens with CE buttons (add new, my events, etc)

Using index.php in your URLs (pathinfo-based permalinks) is uncommon though I can appreciate it may be necessary if you are using IIS 6 as your server.

Unfortunately though that isn’t something we can really offer a great deal of support for – and I am also regrettably not in a position to offer any alternatives to investigate so long as you are hosting in that environment since few on this team have used IIS extensively.

Sorry we can’t do more on this occasion.

Hi Barry – thank you.

OK. Step one is solved. Here is an IIS host treatment that worked:
http://einaregilsson.com/pretty-wordpress-permalinks-on-iis/
(using the download link in instruction item #1, not copying the php lines actually in the post).

At least now the custom pretty permalinks work, and CE is working.

There are other problems such as the CE list not displaying events submitted, and the text on the submit form is cutoff (maybe there’s a css paragraph setting somewhere with a top-margin). I’ve seen similar problems solved elsewhere in these forums, so a-hunting here I go!

Thanks.

Great that you found a fix for the IIS/permalink issues – and thank you for posting it here as others may benefit from that also.

Regarding the other issues if you don’t have any success please do create new threads as needed and if possible we will try to help you out with those, too.
