Hey Pothi, thanks! I didn’t know that I can nest location blocks. Thank you for your advice it was VERY helpful. I made some changes to make this work. Take a look:

location ~ ^/name-of-the-theme/demo {
        # Points to another WordPress installation
        root /srv/www/themes.example.com/themes;
        try_files $uri $uri/ /index.php?$args;

        location ~ \.php$ {
                fastcgi_split_path_info ^(.+\.php)(/.+)$;
                # NOTE: You should have "cgi.fix_pathinfo = 0;" in php.ini

                fastcgi_pass unix:/var/run/php5-fpm.sock;
                fastcgi_index index.php;
                include fastcgi_params;
        }
}

The location block needs to use a regular expression because all the files (stylesheets, scripts and images) need to be redirected too. I was getting a 404 error with your code. The HTML loads correctly, but the resources don’t. That little tilde makes the difference 😀
