Some days before, I shared an article about how to Deploy Laravel with Nginx on the Ubuntu server.

• Deploy Laravel with Nginx on Ubuntu 22.04

You can follow everything as it is except the Nginx configuration.

Here I'm sharing the configuration for the Nginx.

server {
    server_name example.com www.example.com;
    root /var/www/WORDPRESS_PROJECT_PATH;

    error_log /var/log/nginx/current.log;
    client_max_body_size 2M;  
    index index.php index.html index.htm;

    # Enable gzip compression
    gzip on;
    gzip_vary on;
    gzip_min_length 1000;
    gzip_comp_level 5;
    gzip_types text/plain text/css application/json application/javascript text/xml application/xml application/xml+rss text/javascript;
    gzip_proxied any;

    location = /favicon.ico { access_log off; log_not_found off; }
    location = /robots.txt  { access_log off; log_not_found off; }

    location / {
        try_files $uri $uri/ /index.php;
    }
    location ~ ^/wp-json/ {
        rewrite ^/wp-json/(.*?)$ /?rest_route=/$1 last;
    }
    location ~* /wp-sitemap.*\.xml {
        try_files $uri $uri/ /index.php$is_args$args;
    }
    location = /50x.html {
        root /usr/share/nginx/html;
    }
    location ~ \.php$ {
        fastcgi_pass unix:/run/php/php8.1-fpm.sock;
        fastcgi_param SCRIPT_FILENAME $document_root$fastcgi_script_name;
        include fastcgi_params;
        include snippets/fastcgi-php.conf;
        fastcgi_buffers 1024 4k;
        fastcgi_buffer_size 128k;
    }
    # A long browser cache lifetime can speed up repeat visits to your page
    location ~* \.(jpg|jpeg|gif|png|webp|svg|woff|woff2|ttf|css|js|ico|xml)$ {
        access_log        off;
        log_not_found     off;
        expires           1y;
    }
    # disable access to hidden files
    location ~ /\.ht {
        access_log off;
        log_not_found off;
        deny all;
    }
}

— Troubleshoots

Set permissions on the WordPress project directory using the following command:

sudo chmod -R 777 /var/www/WORDPRESS_PROJECT_PATH

• It will enable the file upload feature also.

For enabling the plugin install/update feature:

Insert into the wp-config.php

/** Absolute path to the WordPress directory. */
if ( ! defined( 'ABSPATH' ) ) {
        define( 'ABSPATH', __DIR__ . '/' );
}  /**  Place after this line */

define('FS_METHOD', 'direct');
