Nginx Rewrite error for Yoast

Posted on May 10, 2014

I am getting this error for yoast sitemap. As you’re on NGINX, you’ll need the following rewrites:

rewrite ^/sitemap_index.xml$ /index.php?sitemap=1 last; rewrite ^/([^/]+?)-sitemap([0-9]+)?.xml$ /index.php?sitemap=$1&sitemap_n=$2 last;

I added the code to sudo nano /etc/nginx/sites-available/default But still the problem persists. Please help

Hey, did you try restarting nginx after making these changes?

Ya…I restarted Nginx but the problem is still there

Are you using any caching plugins like w3tc? <br> <br>Also, are you sure default.conf is the correct file for your site?
