Removing index.php from URLs: WordPress Follow up

In a previous article we discussed rewriting the site URL to remove index.php in ExpressionEngine on Windows IIS. The method uses a free Isapi filter, the Ionic Isapi Rewrite Filter, to accomplish what mod_rewrite would on Apache. Many WordPress users would like to remove index.php as well, and the Ionic filter can do the same thing for WordPress.

We came upon this post which describes the process. The rewrite rule in the settings .ini file references a .php file, which sets that PATH_INFO variable. While we have not implemented this method, it sounds straight forward. Note that if you are using the Ionic filter for an ExpressionEngine site, you should use a new instance of the Ionic DLL and .ini file for WordPress. Simply put the files in a different location on your web server.
