"the site won't 404 and instead rewrites the URL to the homepage" — Is there a redirection? i.e. Does accessing http://example.com/nonexistent change the URL in the web browser's address bar to http://example.com/?

Wordpress is not generating the "not found" page for any request that should 404 instead it just loads the homepage with the incorrect URL. Not sure if it's a nginx thing or a WordPress thing. | |

The line try_files $uri $uri/ /index.php?$args; sends anything that isn't a static file to WordPress. Which is actually a desired behaviour, as it allows WordPress to see every request and implement pretty permalinks (if you have them enabled). Are you not seeing a WordPress generated "not found" page?

Sounds silly but It happens to me once, did you reload? $ sudo service nginx reload
