    Issue:
    I have loaded WordPress MU inside of my DocumentRoot. This is working fine however, I now have two projects inside the DocumentRoot that both have a directory with the same name: ‘plugins’:
    /var/www/html/cms/plugins/
    /var/www/html/cms/sites/blogs/wp-content/plugins/.
    I believe that this is causing a conflict because of my current Apache setup.
    When I load my WP MU up and sign in, everything appears to be normal but upon looking closely, I noticed that not a single plugin is loading due to Apache 404 error. Example:
    https://www.someplaceonline.ext/blogs/wp-content/plugins/active-directory-integration/css/adintegration.css?ver=1.7.1

    404 Not found.

    I am not sure how to fix this so I have provided my Apache setup.

    What I have already tried:
    Changing “AliasMatch ^.*/plugins/(.*)$ /var/www/html/cms/plugins/$1” to AliasMatch ^\.\./plugins/(.*)$ /var/www/html/cms/plugins/$1. The reason: references inside of my cms directory to their ‘plugins’ usually are prefixed with ‘..’, so they are formatted ../plugins/someplugin/etc/etc.ext This continues to load plugins correctly inside of the cms, and verifying my Regular expression at https://www.regextester.com/ leads me to believe this should work to solve the issue however, items such as https://www.someplaceonline.ext/blogs/wp-content/plugins/active-directory-integration/css/adintegration.css?ver=1.7.1 continue to fail to load.

    Adding “AliasMatch ^.*/wp-content/plugins/(.*)$ /var/www/html/cms/sites/blogs/wp-content/plugins/$1“. I thought I could simply append a new AliasMatch to resolve the path mapping for WordPress but this also, does not work.

    The relevant directory structure:

      /var/www/html/
      /var/www/html/cms/
      /var/www/html/cms/memorybook/
      /var/www/html/cms/plugins/
      /var/www/html/cms/site_resources/
      /var/www/html/cms/sites/
      /var/www/html/cms/sites/blogs/

    The relevant Apache configuration:

    <VirtualHost *:80>
            DocumentRoot /var/www/html/cms/sites/
    
            #Host names

            ### This must be last or else unwanted matches will occur. ###
            AliasMatch ^.*/site_resources(.*)$ /var/www/html/cms/site_resources/$1
            AliasMatch ^.*/plugins/(.*)$ /var/www/html/cms/plugins/$1
            #AliasMatch ^.*/wp-content/plugins/(.*)$ /var/www/html/cms/sites/blogs/wp-content/plugins/$1
