Nginx

By StoneDB

Hi all,

having an issue with my pretty permalink and wordpress. I think it’s an issue with my nginx conf.

Homepage works great Article = 404 WP-admin = 404

Here is my conf: https://github.com/stonedb00/stonedb/blob/master/nginx

Maybe someone have a solution.

Thanks a lot

Seems this question is so common with Wordpress and Nginx and I think cuz so many tutorials online are assuming that you use Apache in backend of your Nginx…

Anyway just simple fix for permalinks is usually the try_files code:

location / {
try_files $uri $uri/ /index.php?$args;
}

Hello, @StoneDB

Did you installed WordPress manually or you’ve followed our tutorial:

https://www.digitalocean.com/community/tutorials/how-to-install-wordpress-with-lemp-on-ubuntu-18-04

If you believe that the issue is with the nginx configuration file you can use the default nginx configuration file suggested from WordPress support team itself:

Let me know if you have any questions.
