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.
