Nignx Redirect rule to a different url based on a query

  • 772

We have a wordpress installation and need to redirect lost password link to another different url for this we trying to setup a redirect rule but this is not working. Can anyone please help us.

location / {
proxy_pass      http://localhost;
     }

location wp-login.php?action=lostpassword
rewrite     ^(.*)  http://recover.geo.com $1 permanent;
}

But login url too (wp-login.php?action=login) is redirecting to recover.geo.com

We need to redirect only the url wp-login.php?action=lostpassword to other and all other url including wp-login.php?action=login need to proxypass

Can anyone please help us with the correct configuration.

Thanks

  1. Don't use a location for this at all. It doesn't match on query string arguments.

    Instead, just check the argument and request URI directly. For example:

    location / {
    if ($arg_action = "lostpassword") {
        rewrite /wp-login.php http://recover.geo.com/wp-login.php?action=lostpassword permanent;
    }

    # everything else...
}
