Wordpress Permalinks in IIS using Custom 404 Redirect

When setting up this blog on a Windows host I couldn’t find a way to create “pretty permalinks”. I finally settled on a solution developed by CaptainN and posted on in the support section on wordpress.org. All you need to do is create a 404 page in php with four lines of code.

Create the file wp-404-handler.php in your base Wordpress folder.
Set your sites 404 page to point to the wp-404-handler.php url. Most control panels at web hosts allow you to do this. If you’ve got the option to select between FILE and URL then choose URL.
Go to Options -> Permalinks in your Wordpress admin page, and choose an appropriate structure for your links. I chose Custom with this pattern: /%year%/%monthnum%/%day%/%postname%/
