Why would we change the format of links?

wordpress’s default linking style is dynamic form, like:

xxx/?pageid=8

into

xxx/pageid/8

Doing this is reader-friendly, and makes url look more elegent, but most important is helping search engine to understand so that your archives could be easily collected.

No more garbage, let’s do it!

---

1. go into wp setting->permalinks, change it into /%category%/%post_id%/ like this:

   

   PS: after that, your archives would render 404 to users immediately, don’t worry</p>

2. modify nginx config

   In case someone doesn’t know where the config file is, input nginx -t</p>

root@me:/usr/local/nginx/conf# nginx -t
nginx: the configuration file /usr/local/nginx/conf/nginx.conf syntax is ok
nginx: configuration file /usr/local/nginx/conf/nginx.conf test is successful

open nginx.conf, add these below:

location / {  
       index index.html index.php;  
       if (-f $request_filename/index.html){  
           rewrite (.*) $1/index.html break;  
       }  
       if (-f $request_filename/index.php){  
           rewrite (.*) $1/index.php;  
       }  
       if (!-f $request_filename){  
           rewrite (.*) /index.php;  
       }  
   }  

1. restart nginx, enjoy it!

nginx -s reload
