Permalinks in Wordpress (Windowshosting)

The .htaccess file is limited to Windowshosting. In order to be able to use the Wordpress permalinks on a Windows server on your website, you must first use FTP or the file manager to overwrite the web.config file in the main directory with the following content:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<configuration>
  <system.webServer>
    <staticContent>
      <remove fileExtension=".svg" />
      <mimeMap fileExtension=".svg" mimeType="image/svg+xml" />
    </staticContent>
    <rewrite>
      <rules>
        <rule name="Imported Rule 2" stopProcessing="true">
          <match url="^(.*/)?wp-content/(.*)" ignoreCase="false" />
          <conditions logicalGrouping="MatchAny">
            <add input="{URL}" pattern=".*wp-content/plugins.*" ignoreCase="false" negate="true" />
          </conditions>
          <action type="None" />
        </rule> 
        <rule name="wordpress" patternSyntax="Wildcard">
          <match url="*" />
          <conditions>
            <add input="{REQUEST_FILENAME}" matchType="IsFile" negate="true" />
            <add input="{REQUEST_FILENAME}" matchType="IsDirectory" negate="true" />
          </conditions> 
          <action type="Rewrite" url="index.php" />
        </rule>
      </rules>
    </rewrite>
  </system.webServer>
</configuration>

    Then you can activate the permalinks in Wordpress:
