Wordpress simple-301-redirects

Never used that plugin so no idea myself. Maybe other folks would have some idea I'd check Nginx access and error logs and PHP error logs for clues. Do you have example of what full path urls you're trying to redirect from and to ? Default Apache and Nginx Wordpress rewrites usually pass everything through WP's index.php AFAIK.

 

AFAIK, that's due to essential security placed in /usr/local/nginx/conf/php.conf

Code:

try_files $uri =404

i.e.

Code:

location = /test.php {
        return 302 /;
}

Code:

curl -I localhost/test.php
HTTP/1.1 302 Moved Temporarily
Server: nginx centminmod
Date: Tue, 08 Dec 2015 06:08:45 GMT
Content-Type: text/html
Content-Length: 154
Location: http://localhost/
Connection: keep-alive

Code:

location = /test {
        return 302 /;
}

Code:

curl -I localhost/test
HTTP/1.1 302 Moved Temporarily
Server: nginx centminmod
Date: Tue, 08 Dec 2015 06:12:19 GMT
Content-Type: text/html
Content-Length: 154
Location: http://localhost/
Connection: keep-alive

edit: actually from documentation probably better to have

Code:

location = /test.php {
        return 302 $scheme://$host/;
}

location ~ ^/test {
        return 302 $scheme://$host/;
}

as the /test directory needs to redirect for both /test and /test/

Code:

curl -I localhost/test/
HTTP/1.1 302 Moved Temporarily
Server: nginx centminmod
Date: Tue, 08 Dec 2015 06:22:25 GMT
Content-Type: text/html
Content-Length: 154
Connection: keep-alive
Location: http://localhost/

curl -I localhost/test
HTTP/1.1 302 Moved Temporarily
Server: nginx centminmod
Date: Tue, 08 Dec 2015 06:22:27 GMT
Content-Type: text/html
Content-Length: 154
Connection: keep-alive
Location: http://localhost/

performance wise, probably better if you did all those file redirects via nginx and not WP plugin

 

if it's just old urls rewrite to web root index / , just redirect /turning_65.php to /

 

Usually, Centmin Mod is provided as is so you're left to do rewrites, but was curious myself.

See Converting rewrite rules and Converting Apache Rewrite Rules to NGINX Rewrite Rules and Pitfalls and Common Mistakes | NGINX for clues

for /turning_65.php?keyword=medicare redirect to /

Code:

location ~ ^/turning_65.php {
        if ($arg_keyword ~ medicare) {
                rewrite ^ / redirect;
        }
}

Code:

curl -I localhost/turning_65.php?keyword=medicare
HTTP/1.1 302 Moved Temporarily
Server: nginx centminmod
Date: Tue, 08 Dec 2015 07:27:45 GMT
Content-Type: text/html
Content-Length: 154
Location: http://localhost/?keyword=medicare
Connection: keep-alive

for /turning_65.php?keyword=medicare supplement leads redirect to /

browser shows

Code:

/?keyword=medicare%20supplement%20leads

Code:

location ~ ^/turning_65.php {
        if ($arg_keyword ~ "medicare%20supplement%20leads") {
                rewrite ^ / redirect;
        }
}

Code:

curl -I localhost/turning_65.php?keyword=medicare%20supplement%20leads
HTTP/1.1 302 Moved Temporarily
Server: nginx centminmod
Date: Tue, 08 Dec 2015 07:27:01 GMT
Content-Type: text/html
Content-Length: 154
Location: http://localhost/?keyword=medicare%20supplement%20leads
Connection: keep-alive

Or if you have alot of redirects use nginx map Module ngx_http_map_module

in nginx.conf htttp{} context

Code:

map $arg_keyword $keyword_name {
    default 0;
    "~medicare%20supplement%20leads" 1;
    "~medicines" 1;
}

in site vhost

Code:

location ~ ^/turning_65.php {
    if ($keyword_name = 1) {
                rewrite ^ / redirect; 
    }
}

Code:

curl -I localhost/turning_65.php?keyword=medicare%20supplement%20leads
HTTP/1.1 302 Moved Temporarily
Server: nginx centminmod
Date: Tue, 08 Dec 2015 07:36:27 GMT
Content-Type: text/html
Content-Length: 154
Location: http://localhost/?keyword=medicare%20supplement%20leads
Connection: keep-alive

Code:

curl -I localhost/turning_65.php?keyword=medicines
HTTP/1.1 302 Moved Temporarily
Server: nginx centminmod
Date: Tue, 08 Dec 2015 07:36:36 GMT
Content-Type: text/html
Content-Length: 154
Location: http://localhost/?keyword=medicines
Connection: keep-alive

or if you want to get rid of the ?keyword

Code:

location ~ ^/turning_65.php {
    if ($keyword_name = 1) {
        return 302 $scheme://$host/;
    }
}

Code:

curl -I localhost/turning_65.php?keyword=medicines
HTTP/1.1 302 Moved Temporarily
Server: nginx centminmod
Date: Tue, 08 Dec 2015 07:43:49 GMT
Content-Type: text/html
Content-Length: 154
Connection: keep-alive
Location: http://localhost/

curl -I localhost/turning_65.php?keyword=medicare%20supplement%20leads
HTTP/1.1 302 Moved Temporarily
Server: nginx centminmod
Date: Tue, 08 Dec 2015 07:43:57 GMT
Content-Type: text/html
Content-Length: 154
Connection: keep-alive
Location: http://localhost/

nginx mapping and return 302 probably best. Use return 302 temp redirect until you are 100% sure they work and use curl -I for testing avoiding browser redirect caching issues or use browser private session incognito for testing. Once all okay change to return 301 permanent redirects
