Possibly the shorter rule rewrite ^ /wp-content/cache/wp-special-textboxes.css? permanent; would do, but you can experiment with the other changes to see if they suit your setup. (nginx fills in a scheme://host in this case.) If the question is “why is [http://suckup.de/wp-content/plugins/wp-special-textboxes/css/wp-special-textboxes.css.php?ver=3.0.1](http://suckup.de/wp-content/plugins/wp-special-textboxes/css/wp-special-textboxes.css.php?ver=3.0.1) apparently not processed by this rule”, the output you do see should give a hint, and [GitHub - nginxinc/nginx-wiki: ARCHIVED -- Source for the now archived NGINX Wiki section of https://www.nginx.com · GitHub](http://wiki.nginx.org/HttpCoreModule#location) should explain why it happens. Possibly you want to add “^$” after the “location” word. > I have a second problem with the rewrite… I use varnish on port 80 and > nginx on port 8080, but some files from my WordPress-Theme want to use > something like this "@import > “[http://suckup.de:8080/blog/2010/07/26/webseiten-analyse/?mystique=css](http://suckup.de:8080/blog/2010/07/26/webseiten-analyse/?mystique=css)” > … > … can someone say me how to rewrite the port to 80, thx??? 🙂 If you really want to rewrite in nginx, look into modules with names like “substitution” I think you’re better off finding what is writing the thing you don’t want, and getting it to stop. So, check the WordPress-Theme and see what it is doing. Either disable the scheme://host:port bit altogether (since the browser knows to use the same scheme://host for subsequent requests), or see where it gets its information from and change it. At a guess, the fastcgi\_params SERVER\_PORT and SERVER\_NAME, or HTTP\_HOST that gets sent to the php interpreter, are probably involved. Good luck with it, ## f Francis D.

Hi, thx for the help… 🙂 … this is what I made → ``` [code] ``` ## Optimierung - “(css/js).php” to “(css/js)” ``` location /wp-content/plugins/wp-special-textboxes/css/ { location ~* \.(css.php)$ { if ($args ~* ver=(.*)$) { rewrite ^ ``` $scheme://$host/wp-content/cache/wp-special-textboxes.css? permanent; } } } location /wp-content/plugins/wp-special-textboxes/js/ { location ~\* .(js.php)$ { if ($args ~\* ver=(.\*)$) { rewrite ^ $scheme://$host/wp-content/cache/wstb.js? permanent; } } } [/code] and a second thx for the tip with the “SERVER\_PORT” 🙂 … I found this in the theme … ```auto $pageURL .= $_SERVER["SERVER_NAME"].":".$_SERVER["SERVER_PORT"].$request; ``` und changed it to … ```auto $pageURL .= $_SERVER["SERVER_NAME"].":80".$request; ``` Posted at Nginx Forum: [http://forum.nginx.org/read.php?2,143927,144072#msg-144072](http://forum.nginx.org/read.php?2,143927,144072#msg-144072)
