Wpengine install

[HiveRocks]

Hello,

I am very glad that I have purchased this plugin, however I have been yet to use it.

After reading EVERYTHING many times and working with 2 experts, I have no choice but to ask you specifically for the answers.

Exactly, What are the 7 redirects that need to be set up for this to work at Wpengine.

I have not installed wordpress or any plugins in any subdirectory other than normal.

thank you

Hello,

WPE uses Nginx web server and it has no htaccess file. Instead, Nginx users should have write access to Nginx config file. WPEngine does not allow this but you can add Nginx rules via redirect section in your WPEngine panel.

First click on Nginx configuration in Start tab. If you don’t see it go to following address:
http://domain-wp.com/wp-admin/options-general.php?page=hide_my_wp&nginx_config=1
(In multi-site add &nginx_config=1 to the end HMWP settings URL)

Next, go to ‘Redirection’ menu in your WPE panel and add each line of Nginx configuration rules as a redirection rule. Source and destination separated with a space. First is source and second is destination. Use ‘break’ type as ‘last’.

Yes, it seems correct just change Redirect type to break.
