尝试重写 wordpress / nginx / WPML 安装的 URL

Question

I have some wordpress experience, but it's my first time using Nginx. I have a WordPress installation running on Nginx. I added WPML (multi-language plugin) https://wpml.org/

The current URL structure is https://www.maindomain.com/blog/es/... . & https://www.maindomain.com/blog/en/... . etc. Everything works fine.

I'm looking for a way to rewrite the URLs in ninginx conf for the whole set-up to work with: https://www.maindomain/es/blog/... . instead of https://www.maindomain.com/blog/es/ and so on.

I tried several things and eventually i got stuck on:

rewrite ^/blog/en/(\w+\.?.*)$ /en/blog/$1 last;

which gives a 404 error on both URLs.

Any ideas on how to do this? Or is there a better way of doing this other than with rewrites?

...is there a better way of doing this

Possibly, yes. You can install WordPress in a root directory instead of a subdirectory ( /blog ) or point the domain to the subdirectory . This will give you URLs like maindomain.com

You can then set the Language URL setting in WPML to "Different languages in directories". This will give you URLs like maindomain.com/es/ . Finally, you can create a page with the blog slug in WordPress (you should be able to set the same slug for the translation) and it will be accessible at maindomain.com/blog or maindomain.com/es/blog .
