Comment (by dd32):

 In your case, you need this in your wp-config.php file (probably best
 placed at the top of the file):
 {{{
 $_SERVER['HTTP_REMOTE_ADDR'] = $_SERVER['HTTP_REMOTE_ADDR'];
 $_SERVER['HTTPS'] = !empty($_SERVER['HTTP_HTTPS']) ?
 $_SERVER['HTTP_HTTPS'] : 0;
 }}}

 That should work for any nginx proxies using the default reverse proxy
 rules, extra lines would be needed for those using sub-directory proxying,
 or using older nginx versions, or using other reverse proxies (varnish,
 squid, etc)
