== Frequently Asked Questions ==

Please check list of [WordPress-Nginx tutorials](http://rtcamp.com/wordpress-nginx/tutorials/) we have created before you jump to support forums.

**Q. Will this work out of the box?**

No. You need to make some changes at Nginx end. Please see ^above^ tutorials for guidance.


**Q. On my Multisite, I am alredy using `WPMU_ACCEL_REDIRECT`. Do I still need Nginx Map?**

Definietly yes. `WPMU_ACCEL_REDIRECT` reduceds load on PHP, but it still ask WordPress i.e. PHP/MySQL to do some work for static files e.g. images in your post. Nginx map handles files by itself which gives you much better performance without using a CDN.

**Q. I am using X plugin. Will it work on Nginx?**

Most likely yes. A wordpress plugin, if not using explictly any Apache-only mod, should work on Nginx. Some plugin may need some extra work.


**Q. I am stuck. I need help!**
