Question Cache control with Nginx on Wordpress multisite

Mike99

Basic Pleskian
Hello, fellow Pleskians,

I am looking for an advice from a Nginx experienced user, I am trying to set up Cache-Control for a site.

As advised on How to enable leverage browser caching for nginx? this configuration works on single Wordpress install:

location ~* .(js|jpg|jpeg|gif|png|css|tgz|gz|rar|bz2|doc|pdf|ppt|tar|wav|bmp|rtf|swf|ico|flv|txt|woff|woff2|svg)$ {
etag on;
if_modified_since exact;
add_header Pragma "public";
add_header Cache-Control "max-age=31536000, public";
}

But when I use the same configuration on multisite installation, it breaks my site because locations of the static files are not correct, I get 404s for static files in the browser console. My multisite is installed on subdomain https://demo.example.com/site-name, can somebody please advise me on how to change this to make it work? Serve static files directly by nginx and Enable nginx caching is disabled.

Best regards,
Mike
