Arabic url is not working in WordPress on Windows IIS Server

Urls with Arabic slugs are going to 404 on IIS Windows Server and working fine on Apache server.

When I have Arabic in URL like /ar/product-categories/الأرز/

It is redirecting to 404 when I edit the slug into English it's working

I have installed wpml for multilingual

My WordPress version is 4.3.2, PHP version is 5.4.24

Solution

  • This issues is caused due to IIS does not recognize the multi language urls, so

    Try adding the following code at the end of the wp-config.php file:

    if ( isset($_SERVER['UNENCODED_URL']) ) {
$_SERVER['REQUEST_URI'] = $_SERVER['UNENCODED_URL'];}
