I’m working on a Laravel project and must set up a WordPress project at the /blog route. I already added a server block on the Nginx Configuration and updated the .htaccess file rules but the WordPress project isn’t working. Please let me know if I anything missed here. Thank you.

My Nginx configuration is:

server {
    listen 80;
    server_name example.com www.example.com;

    root /root/example/public;
    index index.php;

    # Ensure proper handling of Laravel requests
    location / {
        try_files $uri $uri/ /index.php?$query_string;
    }

    location ^~ /blog/ {
        root /root/example/public/blog;
        index index.php index.html;
        try_files $uri $uri/ /index.php?$args;
    }

    # PHP-FPM configuration
    location ~ .php$ {
        include snippets/fastcgi-php.conf;
        fastcgi_pass unix:/run/php/php8.3-fpm.sock;
        fastcgi_param SCRIPT_FILENAME $document_root$fastcgi_script_name;
        include fastcgi_params;
    }

    # Deny access to .htaccess files (if any exist)
    location ~ /.ht {
        deny all;
    }

    # Logs
    error_log  /var/log/nginx/laravel_error.log;
    access_log /var/log/nginx/laravel_access.log;
}

and My .htacc file is on the public folder is:

<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
    <IfModule mod_negotiation.c>
        Options -MultiViews -Indexes
    </IfModule>

    RewriteEngine On

    # Handle Authorization Header
    RewriteCond %{HTTP:Authorization} .
    RewriteRule .* - [E=HTTP_AUTHORIZATION:%{HTTP:Authorization}]

    # Redirect Trailing Slashes If Not A Folder...
    RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
    RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} (.+)/$
    RewriteRule ^ %1 [L,R=301]

    # Send Requests To Front Controller...
    RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
    RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
    RewriteRule ^ index.php [L]
</IfModule>

<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
    RewriteEngine On
    RewriteBase /blog/
    
    # Ensure WordPress works from the /blog directory
    RewriteRule ^index.php$ - [L]
    
    # Rewrite all other requests to WordPress index.php
    RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
    RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
    RewriteRule . /blog/index.php [L]
</IfModule>
