Enable Minify in W3Total Cache using NGINX [closed]

Nginx will now check any URI for its existence as a file on the filesystem, and then a directory on the filesystem, and if neither of those return a valid entry it hands off the entire URI to index.php to process, complete with any query strings if any are present.

For W3 Total Cache, try the following: W3 Total Cache Minify Rewrite Error with WordPress on nginx
