Virtualmin with Nginx and WordPress subfolder install permalinks ain't working

[newriffa]

I’m using Virtualmin on local machine installed with --bundle LEMP option.
I installed few WordPress installations in Default account (to access using IP address)
When I enable permalinks the pages are no more accessible.

I’ve followed the instructions in this topic:

Virtualmin + Nginx - Rewrite for WP

Hi Guys Im new here and new to Virtualmin, i have had a play about with it and put a wordpress site onto it. I have tried so many times, searched the internet to find a solution to the Nginx rewrite issue. I have added somethings into the conf file within webadmin but nothing seems to work. Each time i change my permalinks in wp to look better it doesnt work. Any help would be great. Thanks

and added the following code to webmin —> servers -->nginx server → edit configuration files:
location / { try_files $uri $uri/ /index.php?$args; }

It seems does not work with WordPress subfolder installs, any idea how to properly configure it?

SYSTEM INFORMATION
OS type and version	CentOS 7
Virtualmin version	7.2
Nginx version	1.20.1

Have you restarted Nginx after adding the above line? And could you post the content of your /etc/nginx/sites-available/example.com.conf where example.com is the domain name of the WordPress site.

There are no /etc/nginx/sites-available/*.conf files listed even when if I created them manually. I did restart Nginx server from Webmin. The only conf file listed is /etc/nginx/nginx.conf:
