Meanwhile you can use this workaround:

In the wp-config.php file add this code:

if (isset($_SERVER['UNENCODED_URL']))
$_SERVER['REQUEST_URI'] = $_SERVER['UNENCODED_URL'];


I have tried to apply it on my site, which runs on IIS 7, unfortunately it seems to be working only when the page slug is written in english.
When I try to click on a page where the slug is in hebrew letters such as פרופיל (Profile) it goes to my custom 404 page.

Is there any solution for this? Thank you.

I did try your rule unfortunately it didn’t work, still getting the 404 error.

after loads of googling and “trail and error” managed to get the following rule to work on my environment:

<rule name="Redirect(301) all legacy BlogEngine posts" stopProcessing="true">
<match url=".aspx" />
<conditions>
<add input="{HTTP_URL}" negate="false" pattern="(/20[0-9][0-9]/\d{2}/\d{2}/)(.*)\.aspx" />
</conditions>
<action type="Redirect" url="{C:1}{C:2}/" redirectType="Permanent" />
</rule>

can you see any differences? I still can’t understand why your suggested rule didn’t work.

<rules>
<rule name="Redirect(301) all legacy BlogEngine posts">
<match url="^post/(20[0-9][0-9]/\d{2}/\d{2}/)(.*).aspx" />
<action type="Rewrite" url="{R:1}{R:2}/" />
</rule>

I am trying to redirect all of my blogengine like urls to my wordpress blog but struggling to accomplish this task. Please help!

blogengine url format: http://www.mydomain.com/post/2010/02/07/this-is-the-post-title.aspx

wordpress url: http://www.mydomain.com/2010/02/07/this-is-the-post-title/

I’ve added a new rule along with the wordpress rule for some reason i am getting the old 404 error when I try the blogengine url format.

The site is hosted on ISS7 and PHP5 (godaddy windows shared hosting)

please have a look at my web.config and let me know if i am doing anything wrong:

<configuration>
<system.webServer>
<rewrite>

<rules>
<rule name="Redirect(301) all legacy BlogEngine posts">
<match url="(/20[0-9][0-9]/\d{2}/\d{2}/)(.*).aspx" />
<action type="Rewrite" url="{R:0}{R:1}/" />
</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>

Please Note: the wordpress rewrite works fine.

php 5.2.9
iis 7
url rewrite 2.0

I set the proper permissions and let WP modify my web.config the rule got created ok and everything works on the site EXCEPT for posts.

Below are the errors i am getting in my blog
