You’ve abandoned Apache for a faster, newer and sleeker Nginx. Installation was a breeze. WordPress is just humming along until you start clicking links within WordPress. You realized the permalinks are broken, which is a biggie. So, here’s how you fix WordPress permalinks on Nginx.
WordPress on root directory
# Edit nginx config sudo nano /etc/nginx/sites-available/default |
# Add the following lines to the file. location / { index index.php index.html index.htm; try_files $uri $uri/ /index.php?args; } |
WordPress in a subdirectory under root
location /wordpress/ { try_files $uri $uri/ /wordpress/index.php?args; } |
Restart Nginx
# must restart nginx for the changes to take effect sudo nano service nginx restart |
