Thanks a lot!

One thing though, the HTTP 404 error pages probably needed to be forwarded to WordPress, in case someone had a {..}.php in their permalink structure or has dynamic routes, they'll always be served basic nginx 404 pages, which do not load the website. To do so:

error_page 403 404 =200 /error.html;
location = /error.html { try_files $uri $uri/ /index.php?$args; }
