web.config for Wordpress

I had to deploy a Wordpress site to a windows shared hosting server. After doing so, only the site's front page worked while the others pages were just blank.

At first I thought this might have something to do with caching. After turning caching off, deleting cache files, etc. I noticed the .htaccess file and realised that I might have to update the web.config file since I'm on Windows.

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
