Nginx - wordpress in a subdirectory, what data should be passed?

Question

I\'ve tried so many different things. The point I\'m at right now is this:

location ^~ /wordpress {
    alias /var/www/example.com/wordpress;
    index index

I had the same problem and this is what fixed it for me:

1. Open the NGINX configuration file for your site. Inside of the server block, add the path to your root directory and set the priority order for files:

   root /mnt/www/www.domainname.com;
   index  index.php index.html index.htm;
   

2. Create an empty location block before all your other location blocks:

   location /latest {
   # Nothing in here; this is to avoid redirecting for this location
   }
   

3. Commend out the root directory in your location / block and add the redirection so it looks like this:

   location / {
   # root   /mnt/www/www.domainname.com;
   index  index.php index.html index.htm;
   rewrite ^/(.*)$ http://www.domainname.com/latest/$1 redirect;
   }
   

4. Make sure that your location ~ .php$ block points its root to

   root /mnt/www/www.domainname.com;
   

This fixed it for me.
