Title: Exclude Redirection Plugin From Nginx Caching Last modified: October 11, 2022 --- # Exclude Redirection Plugin From Nginx Caching * Resolved [Balkis Anton Nurohman](https://wordpress.org/support/users/balkisanton/) * (@balkisanton) * [3 years, 8 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/exclude-redirection-plugin-from-nginx-caching/) * A lot of people are having problems redirecting an image to a post. I found a temporary solution (especially in my case). But I need a little help to perfect it. * I just remove jpg/png/jpeg from this config file : * ``` # set long EXPIRES header on static assets location ~* \.(?:jpg|jpeg|gif|bmp|ico|png|css|js|swf)$ { expires 30d; access_log off; } } ``` * And clear cache+restart system to make it work. After that, image redirection work perfectly. * But here comes a new problem, the server request will increase significantly because there is no cache. This is a bad thing. * I’m curious. Is there some kind of script/regext to exclude the redirection plugin from the nginx caching? - This topic was modified 3 years, 8 months ago by [Balkis Anton Nurohman](https://wordpress.org/support/users/balkisanton/). - This topic was modified 3 years, 8 months ago by [Balkis Anton Nurohman](https://wordpress.org/support/users/balkisanton/).

Then it will operate before any other configuration. * Thread Starter [Balkis Anton Nurohman](https://wordpress.org/support/users/balkisanton/) * (@balkisanton) * [3 years, 8 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/exclude-redirection-plugin-from-nginx-caching/#post-16088770) * Um, ok. Got it. * I’m just wondering if there is another way. * By the way, i have 56 image redirects. Does it also cause bad things when I add it to nginx redirection directly? - This reply was modified 3 years, 8 months ago by [Balkis Anton Nurohman](https://wordpress.org/support/users/balkisanton/). - This reply was modified 3 years, 8 months ago by [Balkis Anton Nurohman](https://wordpress.org/support/users/balkisanton/). * Plugin Author [John Godley](https://wordpress.org/support/users/johnny5/) * (@johnny5) * [3 years, 8 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/exclude-redirection-plugin-from-nginx-caching/#post-16088860) * What kind of bad thing? Most decisions are usually a compromise, so it really depends what you are worried about happening. I don’t think 40 redirects will cause much difference to anything though. * Thread Starter [Balkis Anton Nurohman](https://wordpress.org/support/users/balkisanton/) * (@balkisanton) * [3 years, 8 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/exclude-redirection-plugin-from-nginx-caching/#post-16093596) * Hmm, ok i think i got the point. Thanks for answering my questions * Really great plugin you’ve been made. And also great work. Keep it up! * Thread Starter [Balkis Anton Nurohman](https://wordpress.org/support/users/balkisanton/) * (@balkisanton) * [3 years, 7 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/exclude-redirection-plugin-from-nginx-caching/#post-16145320) * For anyone is looking for a solution to this problem, the only way is to do a redirect in the system directly * First, you must create a redirection as usual (all you need), but don’t forget to add a different tag (Nginx, Apache or WordPress) so you can easily export it * Go to Redirection plugin > Import/Export > on the Export menu, change “Everything” to your tag (Nginx, Apache or WordPress). Change and match “Complete data (JSON) to yours > click View > copy these **rewrite rules** * Then, in this case I’m using nginx, so I have to paste **rewrite rules** in the configuration file (https version) before caching takes effect. My configuration is on **/etc/nginx/conf.d/httpsver…** (every configuration is different) * Add paste it before caching system applied * The caching conf should be something like this (just an example, it can be different depending on your server configuration) : * ``` location ~* \.(?:jpg|jpeg|gif|bmp|ico|png|css|js|swf)$ { expires 30d; .... } ``` * All you need to do is paste before the caching conf * > If you using apache and litespeed, it’s more easy. Simply export redirection > rewrite rules to htaccess * Don’t forget, you have to clear the old cache too using the command : `rm -rf/ var/cache/nginx/*` * Check the redirection * If not running, try reloading nginx : `sudo nginx -s reload` * Thank me later - This reply was modified 3 years, 7 months ago by [Balkis Anton Nurohman](https://wordpress.org/support/users/balkisanton/). - This reply was modified 3 years, 7 months ago by [Balkis Anton Nurohman](https://wordpress.org/support/users/balkisanton/).
