Fix: paging in WordPress under IIS

For the last few minutes, I have been trying to figure out why next_posts_link() did not work on a template for a clients’ blog, under IIS.

I found a great tip, but I prefer standard functions over things that work.

Then I found out under IIS, PHP returns a wrong value for $_SERVER[“REQUEST_URI”]. The link to the previous page was index.php/Index.php/page/2/. Notice there are two “index.php” (for Windows, index and Index are just the same.)

The real, working, clean and easy solution is to add a simple line of code in the clean_url() function in wp-includes/formatting.php:

$url = str_replace('index.php/Index.php','index.php',$url);
just put this at the beginning of the fuction before any “if Statements” only thing is you have to remember to do this again if you upgrade word press.

Hope this helps you out.
