Server incompatibility – Nginx

    I installed the WP Hide & Security Enhancer plugin and came across the following message: “Your site runs on a server type which the current version can’t create the required rewrite data, please check with PRO version at WP-Hide PRO
    This basic version can work with Apache, LiteSpeed, IIS, Nginx set as reverse proxy for Apache, your site runs nginx/1.18.0”.

    What should I do? Why is this happening? WP Hide & Security Enhancer plugin supports which version of nginx?

    pure nginx does not support .htaccess file,
    nginx.conf can be changed only by system administrator,
    some plugins can suggest changes to be made in nginx.conf

    Apache and LiteSpeed (not OpenLiteSpeed!) do support .htaccess natively
    IIS supports web.config file
    nginx as reverse proxy for apache – see Apache

    Maybe plugin support reps can tell you more details about their plugin

    Hi,
    The full-stack Nginx server type requires different rewrites than Apache ( saved within .htaccess file ) which the free plugin can’t create.
    As an alternative, you can set up your Nginx as a reverse proxy for Apache, check with your host support on how this can be achieved for you.

    Thanks
