Welcome to WSE. Nginx doesn't support .htaccess and if you trying to use .htaccess with Nginx you are doing it incorrectly.

Apache's .htaccess is powerful and, as I have now learned (thanks @closetnoc ), it caches the .htaccess file until it changes on the disk to avoid reloading it each and everytime. However, you wanted Nginx for it's speed didn't you, so to achieve a similar functionality with Nginx it takes a different approach, one which properly utilises the Nginx config file.

See this link for more details www.nginx.com/resources/wiki/start/topics/examples/likeapache-htaccess/
For further details on how to translate your .htaccess commands to Nginx, google "Converting .htaccess to Nginx"
