Question

Anyone can help me? Why is that the 404 will show only on the main domain.

www.example.com/golf/ <— Correct Path
www.example.com/golf/asda1231 <— Wrong Path 404 doesn’t show
www.example.com/1232131asdada <— Wrong Path 404 show

I’m using Nginx, ubuntu, and Wordpress.

I have custom permalinks. /blog/%postname%/

I hope i explain it correctly.

Hello,

I think that in order for the permalinks to work, you should have something like this in your Nginx server block:

location / {
    index index.php index.html index.htm;
    try_files $uri $uri/ /index.php?$args;
}

What is the exact error that you are getting? Do you get a standard Nginx 404?

I could also suggest checking your Nginx error log:

tail -100 /var/log/nginx/error.log

Regards,
Bobby
