You can use this web.config file directly on the root folder in order to host the WordPress website in the IIS Server. This web.config for WordPress does all the stuffs. I will be explaining the content in this file, if you want the detailed knowledge.

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<configuration>
    <system.webServer>
        <defaultDocument>
            <files>
                <clear />
                <add value="index.php" />
            </files>
        </defaultDocument>
        <rewrite>
            <rules>
                <clear />
                <rule name="WordPress Rule" stopProcessing="true">
                    <match url=".*" />
                    <conditions logicalGrouping="MatchAll" trackAllCaptures="false">

                    </conditions>
                    <action type="Rewrite" url="index.php" />
                </rule>
