Redirecting requests to production wp-content/uploads

[ColinD]

I’m evaluating Local coming from VVV. My standard practice is to add the following snippet to into vvv_root/config/nginx-config/sites/examplesite.conf

# Grab uploads from the live site
location /wp-content/uploads/ {
	if (!-e $request_filename){
		rewrite ^/wp-content/uploads/(.*) https://www.example.com/wp-content/uploads/$1 redirect;
	}
}

But when I put the same snippet into /Local Sites/examplesite/conf/nginx/site.conf and restart from the Local UI it doesn’t appear to redirect.

Any ideas where I’m going wrong?

Hey Colin,

I just tried this and it worked. I put the location block right above include do-not-modify/*.conf;
