Development: Caddy considerations when using permalinks in WordPress

Here’s the relevant extract from the article:

Pretty permalinks are available under:

  • Apache web server with the mod_rewrite module
  • Nginx using try-files, e.g. according to this tutorial
  • Hiawatha web server with UrlToolkit support enabled.
  • Lighttpd using a 404 handler or mod_rewrite
  • Caddy using rewrite, e.g. according to this tutorial

Clicking the link to the tutorial takes me to a Caddy V1 article.

I’d like to propose the following changes to the WordPress documentation team:

  1. Revise this extract to read as follows:

Pretty permalinks are available under:

  • Apache web server with the mod_rewrite module
  • Nginx using try-files, e.g. according to this tutorial
  • Hiawatha web server with UrlToolkit support enabled.
  • Lighttpd using a 404 handler or mod_rewrite
  • Caddy automatically in a default WordPress installation.

  1. Just further down in the WP article, in the section Using “Pretty” permalinks, I propose adding the following bullet point:

Before I submit a request to update the article, I just want to make sure that I’ve interpreted the feedback correctly and this is reflected in the proposed text amendments. Suggestions for improving the proposed text are also welcome.
