Trying to access http://example.com/wp-content/themes/yaml-karo/images/about-me.jpg redirects me to http://example.com:8080/. Maybe i am missing something or a typo, don' t know.

Serving static from nginx doesnt work due to the following code in 
your server configuration:

	# all other requests go to Wordpress
	if (!-e $request_filename) {
	rewrite . /index.php last;
	}

It's done at server level and tests file existence without 
root specified.
