WordPress, nginx proxy and subdirectory: wp-login.php redirects to domain

Question

In my NGINX configuration, a WordPress blog is on a private server. My NGINX public server proxies the private server\'s content for https://www.example.com/blog/.<

Answer 1

I have also met with same problem, I found a workaround, to fix the issue, add below code to wp-config.php

$_SERVER['REQUEST_URI'] = str_replace("/wp-admin/", "/blog/wp-admin/",  $_SERVER['REQUEST_URI']);

Answer 2

WordPress uses two variables to define where it is hosted: WP_HOME and WP_SITEURL. Both can be set using the dashboard, but I prefer to set them in wp-config.php:

define( 'WP_SITEURL', 'https://www.example.com/blog' );
define( 'WP_HOME', 'https://www.example.com/blog' );

It is usual to set an absolute URL (as above) which includes scheme and host name, but I prefer to use a relative URL when operating behind a reverse-proxy, like this:

define( 'WP_SITEURL', '/blog' );
define( 'WP_HOME', '/blog' );

You can probably continue to run WordPress in the root of your private server (assuming it isn't accessed directly). Moving the private server down one level is a little more complicated and involves the web server configuration on both servers to be changed a little.
