404 Monitor Log

What do you see when you hit a URL that doesn’t exist in your browser? Rank Math can only record them if they are hitting WordPress.

What does your nginx config look like?

try_files $uri $uri/ /index.php?$args;

Hello @sbwcws

Thank you for contacting the support.

As @hendridm, the Rank Math plugin can only detect the 404 URLs if they are hitting WordPress.

To determine that, you can run a small test by visiting a page link:
https://website.com/404page

If that gets recorded in the RM plugin, then everything is working as intended.

Please let us know.

It’s not getting recorded but yes I can see it in my NGINX LOG

My NGINX Config is

        # index.php
        index index.php;

        # index.php fallback
        location / {
                try_files $uri $uri/ /index.php?$query_string;
        }

I even tried with

try_files $uri $uri/ /index.php?$args;

Hi @sbwcws

Please check if the config file contains the following line:

fastcgi_intercept_errors on;

Turn the setting off:

fastcgi_intercept_errors off;

Also, please look for this part, or anything else related to 404s and delete it:

error_page 404 /404.html;
location /404.html {
internal;
}

Make sure to reload nginx after editing the config file, so the changes can take effect.

Hope that helps.

I’ve just this line which I’ve tried commenting it but still has no effect.

# 404
#try_files $fastcgi_script_name =404;

Hi @sbwcws

Please try adding the fastcgi_intercept_errors off; line to the config.

Let us know how that helps.
