Another auth/location question - probably very simple to fix :)

Looking at code, I've found that simple should work:

          location /wordpress/admin {

If nginx has found maximum static match, it look inclusive static and
regex locations. The matched inclusive regex location stops searching.

It seems that inclusive locations should be documented:  forgot how they
works :).
