Nginx with custom permalinks - Wp-login.php - Too many redirects

[Xavier12]

Hey guys,

For some reason we are having nginx issues. We've used apache to nginx converter and custom permalinks do work, however, when logging in to Wordpress dashboard, we receive a "too many redirects" error. It seems to only work when we type in: http://domain.com/wp-admin/index.php

#ignored: "-" thing used or unknown variable in regex/rew

if (!-f $request_filename){
    set $rule_1 1$rule_1;
}
if (!-d $request_filename){
    set $rule_1 2$rule_1;
}
if ($rule_1 = "21"){
    rewrite /. /index.php last;
}

Please advise, thanks.

Hi Xavier12,

please see the standard documentation for NGINX rewrite rules at: http://wiki.nginx.org/WordPress

... and compair them with yours in your *.conf files for the domain!

What worked for my was adding a rule specifically targeting the /wp-admin folder

#ignored: "-" thing used or unknown variable in regex/rew

if (!-f $request_filename){
set $rule_1 1$rule_1;
}
if (!-d $request_filename){
set $rule_1 2$rule_1;
}
if ($rule_1 = "21"){

rewrite ^/wp-admin/(.*)\.php$ /wp-admin/$1.php last; #<==== this line

rewrite /. /index.php last;

}
