    Hello,

    i just bought this plugin, and on my first attempt with it I ran into error. My site is on nginx server, but I’m just using it, doesn’t have access to the server configuration. In my theme folder, I have an nginx.conf file, I think it has been created by W3 Total Cache. When I click on the Nginx Configuration on the Start tab I get 500 Internal Server Error.

    Can you help me please? Of course I can provide the exported config to help you.

    Thanks!

    All looks good here. To setup HMWP in Nginx environment, you’ll need to follow these steps:

    – goto HMWP >> ‘Start’ Tab >> ‘Medium Pripacy – More Compatibility’ scheme >> click ‘Save Settings’

    – In Start tab you should see Nginx Configuration button. If you don’t see this button, add &nginx_config=1 to HMWP settings page URL to see Nginx rewrite rules. For example:
    http://yourdomain.com/wp-admin/options-general.php?page=hide_my_wp&nginx_config=1

    – Now add those lines (rewrite rules) to your Nginx configuration file. It’s usually located in /etc/nginx/nginx.conf or /etc/nginx/conf/nginx.conf or /etc/nginx/sites-available/domainname.com

    – restart nginx server

    If it’s still the issue then please let us know your website’s wp-admin login details (as private reply), so that we can look into it further.

    Hi,

    I had a meeting with the server admins today, and the will switch to Apache instead of Nginx. In that case, I think the rewrite rules will work fine 🙂

    Thank you for your help, I’m closing this topic as resolved. Have a nice day! 😉
