Hello. I badly and desperately need help. So I have set up my WordPress website in a subdirectory of my domain (/blog) and is hosted in a VPS with Nginx as reverse proxy. Everything is working fine except while I’m trying to access a post. Right now when I try to access posts I get Nginx’s 404 Not Found page.
I have looked for solutions online and each and every solution says to put
try_files $uri $uri/ /blog/index.php?$args;
in the location block but it’s not working after doing so.
I even tried without /blog above.
What could be the reason for this? Am I doing something wrong? It’s been 2 days that I have been trying solutions and nothing seems to be working.
NOTES:
I have removed SSL configurations from the server blocks to keep it simple.
.htaccess file only has one item uncommented which is ErrorDocument 404 /blog/index.php?error=404
.
I can access the posts if I change Permalinks to Plain.
