 * Hello.
 * I’m just curious how does plugin forwarding work?
    mod_rewrite Htaccess file?
 * Thanks.

 * Hi,
 * We use the WordPress Rewrite function.
    Also, the plugin is open source, you 
   can look into it anytime you want.

 * Hi John,
 * Thanks for the reply.
 * If plugin uses WordPress function and does not alter/use htaccess why is it not
   working on Nginx?
 * Thanks.

 * The WordPress custom rewrites are altering the .htaccess file.
 * For Nginx, the PRO version is generating the code for nginx.conf.
 * We don’t offer installation support for the free version and for Nginx is usually
   needed.
 * Best regards,
    John
