Problem: The client is experiencing 404 errors on language-specific /wp-login.php pages when using the WPML plugin with Nginx. This issue occurs for certain languages like Hungarian and Thai. Solution: If you're encountering similar issues, we recommend checking your server's configuration. Since Nginx does not use the
.htaccess
file, you need to update your Nginx configuration to include specific rewrite rules for each language. Here is the rewrite rule you should add:
rewrite ^/xx/wp-login.php /wp-login.php break;
Replace
xx
with the appropriate language code. For example, if your site supports English, German, and French, you should include:
rewrite ^/en/wp-login.php /wp-login.php break;
rewrite ^/de/wp-login.php /wp-login.php break;
rewrite ^/fr/wp-login.php /wp-login.php break;
For detailed guidance, please refer to our documentation on translating WordPress login and registration pages. If this solution does not resolve your issue, or if it seems outdated or irrelevant to your specific case, we highly recommend checking related known issues at https://wpml.org/known-issues/, verifying the version of the permanent fix, and confirming that you have installed the latest versions of themes and plugins. Additionally, please feel free to open a new support ticket for further assistance at WPML support forum.
