#41166 closed enhancement (fixed)

.htaccess config should not be shown on network setup screen when Nginx is in use

Description

When Nginx is in use, the .htaccess configuration shouldn't be shown after multisite installation on the Tools -> Network Setup screen.

It should probably be replaced with a link to the Nginx page on the Codex. Same behaviour as the Settings -> Permalinks screen for Nginx.

Sometimes it's not possible to determine webserver that run our site (depend on configuration). But when $_SERVER["SERVER_SOFTWARE"] is provided, setup prints text with link to Codex.

Thanks for the patch @lipathor! There are only a few suggestions I'd like to make:

  • I agree that a link makes more sense than inserting an nginx config file there, since that is much bigger and more complicated than the .htaccess snippet. I think it would be a neat improvement though if we could point the link to the relevant section on the Codex page automatically:
    • If a subdirectory setup is being created, append #WordPress_Multisite_Subdirectory_rules
    • If a subdomain setup is being created, append anchor #WordPress_Multisite_subdomains_rules
  • The check for whether the current setup is using nginx, can be simplified by using the $is_nginx global that WordPress sets up.
  • The location of the comment // end iis7_supports_permalinks(). construct an htaccess file instead: needs to be adjusted since it doesn't make sense where it's currently at.

I'm assigning this to you to mark this ticket as claimed. :)

Thanks for the updated patch! Just noting the URL should be translatable and the link anchors won't be the same for translated content. Let's keep it simple and link to https://wordpress.org/support/article/nginx/, without the anchors.
