<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?><configuration>
<system.webServer>
    <rewrite>
        <rules>

            <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>
<httpErrors>  
  <remove statusCode="404" subStatusCode="-1" />  
  <error statusCode="404" prefixLanguageFilePath=""  path="/index.php?error=404"  responseMode="ExecuteURL" />  
</httpErrors>

        <clientCache cacheControlMode="UseMaxAge" cacheControlMaxAge="10.00:00:00" />
        <mimeMap fileExtension=".woff" mimeType="application/x-font-woff" />
        <mimeMap fileExtension=".svg" mimeType="image/svg+xml" />

    </staticContent>
</system.webServer></configuration>

  1. I got my answer, actually in IIS server rewrite module is disable by default. We have to enable it to use write rules in web.config. after enable this module, my site is working perfectly. hope this can help someone.

  2. Your best bet is to backup & remove your web.config file, then use WordPress permalinks page to generate the web.config file for you. Lastly, add incrementally what you need that WordPress does not do for you.

  3. USE these rule , on IIS 

            <rule name="Imported Rule 1" stopProcessing="true">
            <match url="^index.php$" ignoreCase="false"/>
            <action type="None"/>
        </rule>

        <rule name="Redirect Image to HTTP" stopProcessing="true">
            <match url=".*.(gif|jpg|jpeg|png|css|js)$" ignoreCase="true"/>
            <action type="Rewrite" url="{R:0}"/>
        </rule>

        <rule name="Imported Rule 2" stopProcessing="true">
            <match url="." ignoreCase="false"/>
            <conditions>
                <add input="{REQUEST_FILENAME}" matchType="IsFile" ignoreCase="false" negate="true"/>
                <add input="{REQUEST_FILENAME}" matchType="IsDirectory" ignoreCase="false" negate="true"/>
            </conditions>
            <action type="Rewrite" url="/index.php"/>
        </rule>

    </rules>
