Hello LET,
So I recently migrated a wordpress website from a VPS running NGINX & PHP-FPM to a LiteSpeed shared hosting...
And it worked, to my surprise, without any extra configuration or tinkering (not that I'm in any way mad things worked out great but I'm curious as to why that happened as I expected it to break all links and page navigation and be in no way compatible with LiteSpeed as NGINX always).
Can it be due to the migration plugin I used (it's updraft btw) or was it because of PHP-FPM or something entirely different

That is because WordPress has a .htaccess which is compatible with Apache/LiteSpeed and works out of the box while .htaccess is not compatible with NGINX, requiring modification of nginx config files to be able to work with WordPress redirect rules.
But the wordpress site was originally built on top of NGINX in the first place before being migrated to LiteSpeed.
Are you saying wordpress generates an .htaccess file regardless even if it's on an NGINX server ? @gms
True
