I inherited a multisite that I re-architected into Trellis and I want to rewrite `https://subsite1.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/4/2018/(.*)` to `https://subsite1.com/app/uploads/sites/4/2018/$1`. I want to do this instead of making direct changes to the DB because there are external links on external sites relying on the URL with `/wp-content/` Typically on single sites I just added a file to `/trellis/nginx-includes/subsite1.com/rewrites.conf.j2` and added in something like:

```
rewrite ^/wp-content/uploads/(.*)$ "/app/uploads/$1" last;
```

This is not working, and I’m not sure why. My multisite “main” site is `multisite.site.com` and my wordpress\_sites.yml looks like…

```
multisite.site.com:
    site_hosts:
      - canonical: multisite.site.com
      - canonical: subsite1.com
      	redirects:
      		- www.subsite1.com
```

How can I add a rewrite like the one above for the subsite?
