Hello, I have been having an issue with my WordPress site that I have just migrated from a local server. The homepage and the admin pages work, but none of the other pages work. they all return a 404 not found error. I have checked that the permalinks are properly set up. I can edit the pages, and it displays the proper permalinks on the admin side. This is my htaccess file

# BEGIN WordPress
<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /
RewriteRule ^index\.php$ - [L]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule . /index.php [L]
</IfModule>

# END WordPress

is there anything wrong here?
I've enabled mod_rewrite in apache. Any suggestions are greatly appreciated!

From the CLI, please run:

tail -20 /var/log/apache2/error.log

Once you execute that command, copy and paste the output to a code block as you did with your .htaccess file. We can then take a closer look to see if there's anything being logged that'll help us to find the cause of the issue.

    cherry framework is the theme that I am using. Not sure if those errors are related to none of the pages loading. Here is line 136 of class-cherry-optionsframework.php if that is relevent at all

                    foreach ($sectionSettings['options-list'] as $optionId => $optionSettings) {

      To make sure it's not the theme causing the issue, have you tried temporarily changing the theme to one of the WordPress defaults, such as 2016 or 2017? If not, I'd try that since you are seeing a warning being logged.

      If everything works when switching to one of the defaults, then the issue is definitely with the theme and you would need to get in touch with the theme authors to see if they can push a fix that you can download and apply.

Please make sure your mod rewrite is enabled and that you allow override in the vhost for the site.
