Nginx Proxy WordPress Configuration

If you need to proxy your WordPress blog via Nginx. This is the configuration I have recently used.

Update <server-name> with your intended domain name. <ip-address> and <port> with the WordPress servers details.

server {
         server_name <server-name>;
 
         gzip on;
         gzip_min_length 10240;
         gzip_types text/plain text/css text/xml text/javascript application/x-javascript application/xml;
         gzip_disable "MSIE [1-6]\.";
 
         add_header Cache-Control public;
 
         location / {
                 proxy_set_header X-Real-IP  $remote_addr;
                 proxy_set_header X-Forwarded-For $remote_addr;
                 proxy_set_header Host $host;
                 proxy_pass http://<ip-address>:<port>;
         }
 }
