Installing WordPress in a subdirectory

[zastavra]

I have Xenforo installed in the root directory and I just installed WordPress in /articles sub directory. Well, everything is working fine using the WordPress default URL structure but when I am changing it to domain.com/articles/%postname%/ the WordPress post is getting redirected to Xenforo's 404 page not found.

Any idea of what is wrong here?

Do you have an articles route in your XenForo installation?

 

[zastavra]

No I have not. What should I use as Find Route and Replace With?

If you temporarily remove XF's .htaccess file, does it work? I would presume no, which likely points to an issue with the WP .htaccess configuration. XF won't be involved in any way if there's an articles sub-directory (unless there's a 404 within that the articles/.htaccess file doesn't grab).

I use nginx as a Web server, so I guess the virtual block configuration must be involved with this.

So, is it something specific that I should look for?

I think adding

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

in the server block config is fixing the problem. It seems to work fine now.

Thanks.
