Setting up WordPress with Apache is usually an easy task. The autogenerated .htaccess file on installation makes things very easy. However, if you’re using Nginx or Docker orchestration, it can be a bit more difficult. In this post, I’ll discuss the required configuration in Warden to make multisite available.

I hope this helps!

Initialize Warden Wordpress Environment

Now you have initialised .env file and now we need to modify nginix configuration for making availailble with wordpress multisite.

create below file on your

.warden/warden-env.yml

Add below configuration for altering Nginx configuration .

version: "3.5"
services:
  nginx:
    volumes:
      - ./.warden/nginx/custom.conf:/etc/nginx/default.d/custom.conf

Now create below file

.warden/nginx/custom.conf

Add below configuration in the custom.conf file.

if (!-e $request_filename) {
  rewrite /wp-admin$ $scheme://$host$uri/ permanent;
  rewrite ^/[_0-9a-zA-Z-]+(/wp-.*) $1 last;
  rewrite ^/[_0-9a-zA-Z-]+(/.*\.php)$ $1 last;
}
