Question
502 Nginx Issue - Website not showing unless logged in to WordPress
I have recently added a 2nd domain to a single Ubuntu 16.04 server and created the necessary files for use with Nginx. This allows Nginx to point to both directory paths for the corresponding domains.
I currently have http://whatjackhasmade.co.uk and https://noface.co.uk.
https://noface.co.uk is unaccessible until I go to https://noface.co.uk/wp-admin and login to my account.
Here is the following sites-available file for noface.co.uk, the sites-enabled is a symlink to this file.
# Default server configuration
#
server {
listen 80 default_server;
listen [::]:80 default_server;
server_name noface.co.uk www.noface.co.uk;
return 301 https://$server_name$request_uri;
}
server {
listen 443 ssl http2;
listen [::]:443 ssl http2;
include snippets/ssl-noface.co.uk.conf;
include snippets/ssl-params.conf;
root /var/www/noface.co.uk/html/wordpress;
index index.php index.html index.htm index.nginx-debian.html;
server_name noface.co.uk www.noface.co.uk;
location / {
try_files $uri $uri/ /index.php?q=$uri&$args;
}
location ~ \.php$ {
include snippets/fastcgi-php.conf;
fastcgi_pass unix:/run/php/php7.0-fpm.sock;
}
location ~ /.well-known {
allow all;
}
}
The issue has only recently occured since I have enabled https:// with an SSL certificate. The https:// works but only when accessing wp/admin. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Something you might have overseen, did you check in the wordpress settings at general? There you can edit the site link (http/https).
I had a look at the general settings, and the site link did need updating. However, Nginx still returns a 302 error, or my website returns a 500 HTTP Error.
Check the error logs and see what you can find there. If you don’t know what it says, post it here please.
Maybe try to use
try_files $uri $uri/ /index.php?$args;insidelocation /@CrypticDesigns I’ve posted the log; I apologise in advance as I am no expert when it comes to debugging the Nginx log.
I’ve also updated the try_files, and the problem still exists. :/
