No nice Permalinks with Wordpress

[luislavena]

Hello,

after days of testing i don’t find a way to use short permalinks with
Wordpress, i can only configure URLS with /index.php/xxx in it, not sure
why.

The rewrite-rules are there, but wordpress ignores them.

I tried
try_files $uri $uri/ /index.php?$args;
and
try_files $uri $uri/ /index.php?q=$request_uri;
(both inside location / {}

If i try /xxx/ instead of /index.php/xxx/ i only see an “Nothing found
for xxx” error from wordpress.

Is there any way to fix this? I found many faqs but i don’t find my
problem

Thanks

Use “Custom Structure” and remove the index.php/ part.

For the try_files, use this:

try_files $uri $uri/ /index.php?q=$uri&$args;

You need this plugin, as WP disables permalinks when there is no
Apache’s mod_rewrite.

It is not disabled, just not given as default choices. It’s still
possible using custom structure and removing the index.php/ part.
