Nginx Rewrite rules for WordPress MU with Wp Super Cache plugin enabled

By Glen Lumanau|Unix|3 Comments

I’ve spending my time to search how wordpressMU on nginx can support WP Super Cache plugin

By default they only giving us the rewrite rules for Apache

Default nginx rewrite rules without WP Super Cache plugin

rewrite ^.*/files/(.*) /wp-content/blogs.php?file=$1;
if (!-e $request_filename) {
rewrite ^.+?(/wp-.*) $1 last;
rewrite ^.+?(/.*\.php)$ $1 last;
rewrite ^ /index.php last;
}

WP Super Cache plugin will not able to run with that rewrite rules. So now the question is, How can we make nginx rewrite rule to work with WP Super Cache plugin ?

Here’s my nginx config that’s running very well

if (-f $request_filename) {
break;
}

if (-d $request_filename) {
break;
}

rewrite ^.*/files/(.*) /wp-content/blogs.php?file=$1;

if (!-e $request_filename) {
rewrite ^.+/?(/wp-.*) $1 last;
rewrite ^.+/?(/.*\.php)$ $1 last;
rewrite ^(.+)$ /index.php?q=$1 last;
}

set $supercache_file ”;
set $supercache_uri $request_uri;

if ($request_method = POST) {
set $supercache_uri ”;
}

if ($query_string) {
set $supercache_uri ”;
}

if ($http_cookie ~* “comment_author_|wordpress|wp-postpass_” ) {
set $supercache_uri ”;
}

if ($supercache_uri ~ ^(.+)$) {
set $supercache_file /wp-content/cache/supercache/$http_host/$1index.html;
}

if (-f $document_root$supercache_file) {
rewrite ^(.*)$ $supercache_file break;
}

Congratulations that you have successfully make your nginx to work with WP Super Cache plugin
