Hi,

As Azam Khan provide, we could fix this issue via the following steps.

1) select the web app, and click Webmarticx in the bottom of our azure portal

2) click Edit live site directly

3) find the web.config file and replace the content with the following (before you do this step, please consider backup the original content of the web.config)

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<configuration>
  <system.webServer>
    <rewrite>
      <rules>
        <rule name="Main Rule" stopProcessing="true">
          <match url=".*" />
          <conditions logicalGrouping="MatchAll">
            <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>

After these steps, we could use post name in our url.
