Wordpress Project Root
/path/to/blog.domain/wp

Document root in Nginx

Physical directory (blog) under web

Created the below symlinks in the above folder (blog)

With the above setup, the below URLs work fine. /

Blog homepage works fine and loads all the theme assets from /

REST API works fine

/ Able to login in the WP admin and create/edit pages and posts without any issues.

However, other than the blog home page, rest of the pages and posts do not work and getting redirected as shown below, when accessed through the main domain (www.domain)

Note the leading slash of the page-slug/permalink is removed and redirected as /blogpage-x or /bloghello-world and resulting 404 error in the main domain.

I have deactivated yoast seo plugin.

Please help. Thanks in advance,

By disabling canonical redirection, the issue solved

remove_action('template_redirect', 'redirect_canonical');
