Nginx rewrite url args

Question

I have a wordpress website and a I need rewrite:

myurl.com/name-of-my-post/?lang= es

To

myurl.com/ es /name-of-my-post/

I allready try everthing that i can found but not is working

PS I don't need send the lang parameter to index.php becausa there is a plugin that reply to

myurl.com/ es /name-of-my-post/ but not rewrite when a visit come from myurl.com/name-of-my-post/?lang= es

Thanks for the help

Answer 1

A simple fix (which may not work because it is too simple) is to permanently redirect any URI with a lang parameter:

if ($arg_lang) {
    return 301 /$arg_lang$uri;
}

See this caution on the use of the if directive.
