We are assuming that your subdirectory’s name is forum. You should add this within the server { } block (via include file as pointed before). bbPress and WordPress both has community support, you can ask there if you still face issue. Just for reminder, we are calling this new WordPress installation’s index.php in this way :
|
1 2 3 |
location /forum { try_files $uri $uri/ /forum/index.php?q=$request_uri; } |
The advantage with forum name is – you can understand any error easily from the log files.
