How to configure 404s when using LEMP (Nginx) and WordPress

Weird. Does WP act normal in all other respects? If so, then the only thing that I can think of is… <br> <br>If you’re running Ubuntu, look in <code>/etc/nginx/sites-enabled</code> Then, execute <code>cat [yoursite]</code> <br> <br>Do you have a line that reads <code>error_page 404 /404.html;</code>? If so, change the location to your WordPress directory that contains the 404 page you want.

nano /usr/local/apps/nginx/etc/conf.d/webuzoVH.conf

server {
listen          80;
server_name     tutorialcentos.com www.yourdomain.com;
# The Document Root
root            /home/user/public_html;
error_log       /usr/local/apps/nginx/var/log/yourdomain.com.err;
access_log      /usr/local/apps/nginx/var/log/yourdomain.com.log main;
include         /usr/local/apps/nginx/etc/conf.d/common;
try_files $uri $uri/ /index.php?q=$uri&$args;
}

Hi thanks both of you for your responses. @Pablo I didn’t want to have to explicitly set each 404 for my sites incase the theme changed. <br> <br>I realised I was explicitly requesting Nginx to handle the 404 pages rather than let WordPress handle them. I had the following set in my conf for each site in sites-enabled. <br> <br>fastcgi_intercept_errors on; <br> <br>http://wiki.nginx.org/HttpFastcgiModule#fastcgi_intercept_errors <br> <br>Setting this to off (+ removing the redundant ‘location’ for the 404) resolved this issue for me. Thanks again both.
