Configuration

Pretty URLs

Apache

The framework ships with a public/.htaccess file that is used to allow URLs without index.php. If you use Apache to serve your WordPlate application, be sure to enable the mod_rewrite module.

Nginx

On Nginx, the following directive in your site configuration will allow “pretty” URLs:

location / {
  try_files $uri $uri/ /index.php?$query_string;
}
