I think the answer is at http://nginx.org/r/rewrite and the "last" flag.

What do you want to happen if the incoming request is for
/wp-content/cache/file-180x180.jpg?

What have you configured nginx to do if the incoming request is for
/wp-content/cache/file-180x180.jpg?

The first rule matches a lot more requests than just those ones.

That is, request should match the first location and be processed there.

"Processed" is "rewrite and start again"; or "do not rewrite and allow
or deny". "Start again" will get it back to this location, but the
rewrite will not happen the second time around because the new request does
not match the rewrite.

That is, request should match the second location, and one of the first
two try_files arguments should cause it to be served from the filesystem.

That is, request should match the second location, and the final try_files
argument should cause it to be handled in the third location.

But in that location, the rewrite will happen and the whole thing starts
again.

Now the request is for /wp-content/cache/large_original_image-180x180.jpg,
which matches the first location.

In the first location, the rewrite does not match and so the request is
allowed or denied.


As I see it, you could either add a location{} to match your
/wp-content/cache/ requests; or your @filesmagic rewrite could be to
/files/$1-180x180.jpg, so that it will not match the first location.

There probably are other ways too.

Good luck with it,
