nginx /admin /login wordpress

Question

I want to setup simpler urls in nginx to login into wordpress i.e. /admin /login in nginx

I have tried multiple ways of tackling this with no luck. any ideas?

currently working with this, but I know it's not working

if ($uri ~* "/login") { rewrite ^(.*)$ http://$host/wp-admin/; }

Final Working Version: if ($uri ~* "/login") { rewrite ^/login(/.*)? /wp-admin$1; }

What did you get when you access http://$host/login in browser? Did you take a look at error log?

Rewriting works largely the same as in Apache, but with different syntax:

Something like this should do the trick:

rewrite ^/admin(/.*)? /wp-admin$1

thank you so much for your help, I was able to use your segment to add the "login" I wanted.

# short cuts
 if ($uri ~* "/login") {
  rewrite ^/login(/.*)? /wp-admin$1;
}
