404 issues on NGINX with Version 4.0

We’ve had a number of 404 errors with our NGINX setup since version 4.0.0 was released. I was able to solve the issue and wanted to share the solution to see if it’s a potential bug with certain NGINX setups.

We use the standard WordPress-friendly NGINX rule:

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

This rule alone was causing a 404 error since upgrading to 4.0.0. We added the following rule which solved the error:

location ~ ^/(sitemap.xml) {
  try_files $uri $uri/ /index.php?$args;
}
location / {
  try_files $uri $uri/ /index.php?$args;
}
