Workaround 2

Note: If you are a domain owner and Apache/nginx additional directives are hidden, please contact the server administrator or provider for assistance.

  1. Log into Plesk.

  2. Add additional directives for the subdomain in Domains > sub.example.com > Apache & nginx Settings:

    • for Additional directives for HTTP and Additional directives for HTTPS:

      ServerAlias alias.sub.example.com

    • for Additional nginx directives:

      server_name alias.sub.example.com;
