wordpress-nginx's Issues

Woocommerce?

This conf working fine with woocommerce?

No more..

git clone git://github.com/pothi/wordpress-nginx.git $HOME/git/wordpress-nginx
should be
git clone https://github.com/pothi/wordpress-nginx.git $HOME/git/wordpress-nginx

$wpsc

Hello,
where does $wpsc variable comes from in wprocket.conf? That sounds like WordPress SuperCache?

WP Fastest Cache configuration

You have conflicting settings in the configuration to support WPFC.
Wrong use of Vary header may lead to cache issues especially if CDN is in play.

Please read this post here to understand what I'm talking about:

Wp Rocket Nginx Question

Inside location you have put:

expired modified 30m;
add_header "Cache-Control" "must-revalidate";

Wouldn't the following be better?
add_header Cache-Control "max-age=1800, must-revalidate";

common-locations.conf not found

It seems that many conf files contain this file

include "globals/common-locations.conf";

However I could not find this file.

Fix robots.txt in sub-sites in a WP multisite network

Ref: https://wordpress.org/support/topic/nginx-robots-txt-not-loading-on-subsites/

add_header is being overwritten by location blocks

For what you've written for caching plugins, the / location would be evaluated first. However, given that you have locations for assets and .php the LAST location to be executed will write the headers. So , for example in example.com.conf, if you include any of the caching plugins you'll always see the header X-CACHE MISS. Even though the locations are being executed the last location to be executed will add the headers.

Per http://nginx.org/en/docs/http/ngx_http_headers_module.html#add_header

There could be several add_header directives. These directives are inherited from the previous level if and only if there are no add_header directives defined on the current level.

About Rocket-nginx.

Hi,

If I use WIB or Wordpress-nginx, is it okay to not use Rocket Nginx? Also I am using Woocommerce, and is it okay to use it as it is without any additional setting?

Thank you.

https_suffix.html problem

Hello. I truly thank you for sharing useful information.

I applied Wp-rocket.conf in your Github onto Nginx which I am using,

but an error occurs that https_suffix.html file can't be found.

I am using rocket, but I can't create the file. Could you tell me what I should do about this matter?

Thank you.

Great work. Question about wp-super-cache conf for Nginx

This is about this file. Many thanks for sharing this! --
https://github.com/pothi/wordpress-nginx/blob/master/globals/wp-super-cache.conf

I can figure out from it what the 418 and 419 mean. We do it with the 'skip_cache' version found in some forums online. Same thing.

Question: the @mobileaccess directive has:

/wp-content/cache/supercache/$host${uri}index$https_suffix-mobile.html

What's the "suffix-mobile"? Our theme is completely responsive. Same pages and URLs get served to all devices. Is this still relevant to us?

Thanks.

SSL Compatibility for WP Super Cache

More and more sites have started using SSL. Let's make the configs compatible with SSL for WP Super Cache plugin.

force trailing slash to front end only.

Do you have a clever way of forcing trailing slashes to URLS on the front

/about-us/
/contact/our-team/

but leave the slash off

/wp-includes/js/file.js

We noticed that when you force trailing slashes, we could use the backend to update posts.

Feature Request: NGINX's FastCGI cache

WP Super Cache Support

Will there be any support for WP Super Cache plugin?

Openshift

Goog job on pagespeed score of perfect 100. Wonder why GTmetrix always differ http://gtmetrix.com/reports/www.tinywp.in/Ys0q4XXQ.

Any idea how to use your repo on openshift?

Mobile Compatibility for WP Super Cache

More and more sites are now compatible with mobile devices, either using responsive web design or by using a plugin specifically for mobile (ex: WPTouch). Let's make the configs compatible with such plugins and WP Super Cache plugin.

Incredible. Thank you!

Sometimes, you have to drop a comment just because you are gobsmacked that someone did such an incredible job. Absolutely amazing.
Thank you!

I know you do $50/hour, but you got a donate page by chance? :P
Owe you a coffee at least... at least.

Anyway, thank you so much for this repo and all the effort you put into it. It shows clearly.

Which files should I review to learn more about multisite configuration?

I run a 100+ site multisite network which is configured to use sub domains. I'm experimenting with migrating from our existing Apache server to Nginx, but the tutorials I find online all have varying or conflicting information depending on the age of the tutorial.

To learn how modern multisite configurations work, which of your files should I review for reference?

If I followed the instructions to download and implement these files, do I need to do anything in particular to get this working correctly with a subdomain setup? Or should this just work after I drop it in?

Running:
Ubuntu 18.04 bionic
nginx 1.14
Wordpress 4.9.7 with PHP 7.2
Using cloudflare free, if that matters
