After switching from Apache to Nginx with PHP-FPM, you may notice that the homepage loads fine, but all other URLs return 404 (Page Not Found). This issue is very common when migrating WordPress sites from Apache to Nginx.
Let’s understand why this happens and how to fix it quickly.
You update WordPress expecting better performance and improved stability, but instead… your website suddenly looks broken. Maybe the layout is distorted, a plugin stopped working, or your screen is filled with error messages.
Frustrating? Yes.
Common? Absolutely.
The main advantage of switching from a static HTML site to WordPress is ease of management. With HTML, every small change—editing text, updating images, or adjusting layouts—requires modifying files manually and re-uploading them. This can be slow and time-consuming.
Breadcrumbs are an essential navigation tool for any website. They help visitors understand your site’s structure and make it easier to move between pages. If you’re using the Rank Math plugin on your WordPress site, you can customize the HTML output of the breadcrumbs to better match your website’s design and improve user experience.
