 * Hello,
 * I’m trying to update the Server Type for the webpage noted above but it keeps
   reverting to the older sold type. How do I fix this or can you update it for 
   me please? It should be Apache.
 * The page I need help with: _[[log in](https://login.wordpress.org/?redirect_to=https%3A%2F%2Fwordpress.org%2Fsupport%2Ftopic%2Fserver-type-2%2F%3Foutput_format%3Dmd&locale=en_US)
   to see the link]_

 * Hello [@ryanbrandford](https://wordpress.org/support/users/ryanbrandford/) ,
 * Sometimes Hummingbird recognizes the type of the server is Nginx when it is used
   as reverse proxy for the Apache.
    However, that select is only needed when you
   need to apply changes like browser caching or gzip compression. Besides that 
   even if it loads Nginx when you check those admin pages it doesn’t change anything
   in the settings and it’s not affecting anything.
 * Unless your question is about something else in Hummingbird, then I kindly ask
   for more information about the issue.
 * kind regards,
    Kasia
