# Help – Does this work with NGINX?

 * I can’t get this plugin’s redirects to work with nginx. It was working correctly
   with apache’s .htaccess rules, listed below.
    Even without any rules, the login
   page at /login will show up. When the form submits, which is going to /login,
   it never sets the cookie and never logs in.
 * [@nginx](https://wordpress.org/support/users/nginx/) rules
    location /login {
   return 200 /wp-login.php?; } location /passwordreset { return 200 /wp-login.php?
   action=lostpassword; } location /join { return 200 /wp-login.php?action=register;}
   location /logout { return 200 /wp-login.php?action=logout; }
 * my old .htaccess rules from Apache
    RewriteRule ^login /wp-login.php [QSA,L] 
   RewriteRule ^passwordreset /wp-login.php?action=lostpassword [QSA,L] RewriteRule
   ^join /wp-login.php?action=register [QSA,L] RewriteRule ^logout /wp-login.php?
   action=logout [QSA,L]
 * With the plugin enabled, when I attempt to load: /wp-login.php it redirects to/
   login.
    This is the same behavior with or without nginx rules. Seems like the
   POST is not making it to the wp-login.php routine. Anyone see this issue before,
   or have this issue solved?
 * Much appreciated.

 * Hello, I am not familiar with NGINX rules. But Custom Login doesn’t manage any
   rewrites or redirects.
 * The `/login` redirect is a core WordPress feature, which will always redirect
   to wp-login.php.

 * Thanks – we are trying the profile builder plugin, as to create custom login 
   and profile pages. These redirects were disabled and handled with a wp_login 
   filter instead.
 * // login redirect to home url
    add_filter( ‘login_redirect’, create_function(‘
   $url,$query,$user’, ‘return home_url();’ ), 10, 3 );
