Hi,
I’ve been struggling for over a day now to get pretty permalinks to work on WordPress. I’ve tried quite a few solutions from around the web and nothing has been working. This is my conf file:
server {
listen 80;
listen [::]:80;
root /var/www/html;
index index.php index.html index.htm index.nginx-debian.html;
server_name website.com www.website.com;
if (!-e $request_filename) {
rewrite ^.*$ /index.php last;
}
location / {
try_files $uri $uri/ /index.php$is_args$args;
}
location = /favicon.ico { log_not_found off; access_log off; }
location = /robots.txt { log_not_found off; access_log off; allow all; }
location ~* \.(css|gif|ico|jpeg|jpg|js|png)$ {
expires max;
log_not_found off;
}
location ~ \.php$ {
fastcgi_split_path_info ^(.+?\.php)(/.*)$;
fastcgi_pass unix:/run/php/php7.2-fpm.sock;
fastcgi_param SCRIPT_FILENAME $document_root$fastcgi_script_name;
fastcgi_param PATH_INFO $fastcgi_path_info;
fastcgi_index index.php;
include fastcgi_params;
}
location /blog {
root /var/www/html/blog;
index index.php index.html index.htm index.nginx-debian.html;
try_files $uri $uri/ /index.php$is_args$args;
}
location ~ /blog/.+\.php$ {
fastcgi_split_path_info ^(.+?\.php)(/.*)$;
fastcgi_pass unix:/run/php/php7.2-fpm.sock;
fastcgi_param SCRIPT_FILENAME $document_root$fastcgi_script_name;
fastcgi_param PATH_INFO $fastcgi_path_info;
fastcgi_index index.php;
include fastcgi_params;
}
location ~ /\.ht {
deny all;
}
}
Can anyone tell me what I’m doing incorrectly, please? I did not install this with a one-click-install (otherwise it would be using Apache). Wordpress is installed under /blog. Everything works fine except I am unable to publish posts when pretty permalinks are enabled. Thank you!

Hello,
What you’ve got there looks correct, you just need to change one slight thing:
location /blog {
root /var/www/html/blog;
index index.php index.html index.htm index.nginx-debian.html;
try_files $uri $uri/ /blog/index.php$is_args$args;
}
Note the blog part before the /index.php, then do a config test and restart.
Let me know how it goes! Bobby
