I have just installed and configured the Community version of PageBlaster and it seems to be doing the job OK with the exception that I cannot now access a child portal of the main site where it was applied. I saw references to setting excludes but that doesn't seem to be available in the community version. Is that how I would resolve this issue? I am running DNN 4.8.3 and I have enabled wildcard mapping for ASP.NET on the IIS server. Thanks! Frank

What happens that you can't access the child portal? Is there an error?

No error - it only goes to the parent portal.

Hmm, if you have wildcard mapped, and you try to access the child with www.parent.com/child then it may cause that. Is that how you are trying to access the child? If so, what happens if you use www.parent.com/child/default.aspx?

It must be the wildcard. I can access it normally with the complete URL. Do you know a way around this to keep the wildcard or should I just zap it? (Secondary question - will the Wildcard allow URLs without a file extention to resolve?)

Looks like you found a bug. Please try the attached DLL. You can just upload it to your /bin folder and overwrite the old one.

Yes, the wildcard application script mapping does allow you to have urls without extensions.

That did the trick! The child portal works without the full URL. I assume that the settings made for the parent portal propagate to all child portals. Correct? Thanks for your help!

Yes, with the community edition configuration changes are made in the global config file called Snapsis.PageBlaster.config in the website root, and apply to all portals and pages in the DNN website.
