Resolved nginx + wordpress additional directives help

[MichaelG]

Hi all,

I'm running a e-commerce site using Woocommerce (3.0) and Wordpress (4.8)
I've recently bought WP-Rocket to speed up the site. But since I use nginx to run my wordpress sites I need to add additional nginx directives to make it work properly.

Here is de config I added:

###################################################################################################
# Rocket-Nginx
#
# Rocket-Nginx is a NGINX configuration to speedup your WordPress
# website with the cache plugin WP-Rocket (http://wp-rocket.me)
#
# Author: Maxime Jobin
# URL: https://github.com/maximejobin/rocket-nginx
#
# Tested with WP-Rocket version: 2.9.11
# Tested with NGINX: 1.11.13 (mainline)
#
# Version 2.0
#

set $rocket_bypass 1;                           # Should NGINX bypass WordPress and call cache file directly ?
set $rocket_encryption "";                      # Is GZIP accepted by client ?
set $rocket_file "";                            # Filename to use
set $rocket_is_bypassed "No";           # Header text added to check if the bypass worked or not. Header: X-Rocket-Nginx-Serving-Static
set $rocket_reason "";                          # Reason why cache file was not used. If cache file is used, what file was used
set $rocket_https_prefix "";            # HTTPS prefix to use when cached files are using HTTPS
set $rocket_hsts 0;                                     # Is HSTS is off (0) by default. Will be turned on (1) if request is HTTPS

Hi MichaelG,

pls. note, that you should consider to ask your question at => WP Rocket Support: Find Answers, Get Help, Open A Ticket , because even that you use Plesk, it doesn't mean, that all your issues/errors/problems are "Plesk - related".

The "built-in" nginx - configuration checker moans because of:

set $rocket_reason "Cookie";

... so pls. consider to point out this line, when you ask for support at the WP-Rocket - site. ​
