Question
Nginx + Wordpress: How do I ignore an /admin/ directory?
I have a standard Wordpress install on an Ubuntu 16.04 server using nginx.
Part of the DO tutorial for the Wordpress setup is to include this line:
try_files $uri $uri/ /index.php$is_args$args;
I need all requests to /admin/(.+) to avoid running through Wordpress’ index.php because the files here have nothing to do with Wordpress.
I’ve tried a standalone location /admin {…} block, if statements within location / {…} and nothing seems to work; /admin continually gets matched by the above try_files block/
Any insight as to how I need to set this up to exclude /admin and all subdirectories/files from being run through Wordpress?
Thank you!

Can you share your current nginx configuration for this site? What is currently happening when you try to access files in your /admin folder?
