Thanks for the reply.

That’s interesting. So I would put:

<Directory /var/www/>
Options Indexes FollowSymLinks
AllowOverride All
Require all granted
</Directory>

anywhere inside the <VirtualHost> tags?

I don’t mind it being global as long s it’s not a security risk since I use wordpress. But it’s always useful to know how things work.

I’m puzzled as to how this doesn’t seem to be mentioned in the Digital Ocean guides, which are very good.

I was convinced it was a problem with my server and not WordPress as there were no threads younger than 3 years anywhere I could find.
