Get_permalink returning wrong URL

  • I am using the pretty permalinks with WordPress. I have put “/blog/&postname%” under “Custom structure” in the Permalinks submenu.

    I can indeed access the page using “https://www.mysite.com/blog/lorem-ipsum” but everytime I get the permalink inside a post (in my custom template using get_permalink), it returns it as follow: “https://www.mysite.com/?post=lorem-ipsum”.

    Is there a way to get the pretty URL and not the default “?post=” URL? Both are working but I only want the pretty URL to show in my links.

    I can’t find anything about this…

    Thanks!

    Okay, I’m adding some details because I really need to fix this.

    I am running my WordPress installation with IIS installed on the server. I think the cause of my pretty URLs not working for my posts is because I am running it on IIS and thus .htaccess is not used.

    My Permalinks settings is like this:
    /blog/%postname%

    I currently have this in my web.config:

    <?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>
  </system.webServer>
</configuration>

    I created a Page called “Blog” which is at “https://www.mysite.com/blog/&#8221; and in that template I use the loop to grab all the posts. However, user get_permalink or the_permalink returns URLs as “https://www.mysite.com/?post=lorem-ipsum&#8221; and the content shows fine. But if I type “https://www.mysite.com/blog/lorem-ipsum&#8221;, the content still shows perfectly, but this URL is not returned by the permalinks functions. Is there a way to precise that I want the pretty URL to be returned in my blog list?

    Oh well, I worked a temporary workaround because I couldn’t find how to fix it.

    I used a custom function call in my template which does the following:

    function get_blog_permalink()
{
return qtrans_convertURL(str_replace("?post=", "blog/", get_permalink()));
}

    So far, all links are valid and show correctly, I guess my fix is good enought…
