After switching a WordPress website to FPM served by nginx in Plesk, it fails to load with “404 Not Found” on all pages except start page.

For one website

In Plesk, add the content below to the Additional nginx directives field of the WordPress domain at Domains > example.com > Apache & nginx Settings:


    if (!-e $request_filename) {
    set $test P;
    }
    if ($uri !~ ^/(plesk-stat|webstat|webstat-ssl|ftpstat|anon_ftpstat|awstats-icon|internal-nginx-static-location)) {
    set $test "${test}C";
    }
    if ($test = PC) {
    rewrite ^/(.*)$ /index.php?$1;
    }
