wrong wp-admin redirect when setting up wordpress inside subdirectory

Question

I setup my wordpress in a docker container, use nginx reverse proxy to forward all requests of location /blog to that docker container.

The problem is after logging in to wp-admin, it redirected to domain/wp-admin/ instead of /domain/blog/wp-admin.

What's the problem? I've set WP_SITE_URL and WP_HOME to /blog

@NaveedRamzan: I found the problem is because it redirects to the `wp-admin-canonical` url which doesn't include `/blog`, I don't know why `wp-admin-canonical` value is wrong — Thịnh Phạm, Jan 05 '17 at 04:49
@Vasim Vanzara Thanks for the comment but I don't see the answer there — Thịnh Phạm, Jan 05 '17 at 07:19

This is what I did to fix it:

// add these lines to wp-config.php
define('WP_SITE_URL', 'http://domain.com/blog');
define('WP_HOME', 'http://domain.com/blog');

$_SERVER['REQUEST_URI'] = '/blog' . $_SERVER['REQUEST_URI'];

I'm running into similar problem trying to deploy docker/container to url/path . But inside my container, the files are all in /var/www/html and not sub-dir. Is your install also in the root html dir or in subdir /blog? – rdk Feb 04 '20 at 19:52

I think you want to define WP_SITEURL variable instead of WP_SITE_URL – rdk Feb 06 '20 at 15:09
Thank you. That helped me. Exactly what I needed. – Shafiq al-Shaar Jul 23 '20 at 16:12
