404 on WordPress pages only

I’ve been running wordpress on my development Mac for a couple of years using MAMP. Out of the blue I started getting nginx 502’s for all wordpress pages except the home page. It’s a blended site, some pages php some wordpress. All php pages are fine.

I uninstalled and reinstalled WordPress then imported my backup. Now I’m getting 404 errors for all WordPress pages except the home page, again the php pages are fine.

I have reset permalinks several times. Checked the .htaccess file (not sure if that matters with nginx).

A typical url is localhost:8888/individual-learning/

I’m using MAMP, PHP 7.4.33 Mysql 8.0.40

I’ve been search the web but am running out of ideas

The page I need help with: [log in to see the link]

404 indicates failure to communicate with the server. Reasons for this failure to communicate with the server can vary.
– it could be configuration issue
– it could be memory issue
– it could be permalinks issue, try reviewing this: How to fix 404 error when using Pretty Permalinks?
– it could be optimization issue
– it could be a conflict with plugin: try resetting the plugin folder ; https://www.wpbeginner.com/plugins/how-to-deactivate-all-plugins-when-not-able-to-access-wp-admin/
– it could be a conflict with theme: try switching to the default theme for a moment via FTP and see if that resolves the issue.
– check for .htaccess file presence and check if the default wordpress mod-rewrite code is there or not. There are times when .htaccess file is not writable or gotten deleted
– Check the server error log for your hosting account for any specific error message. Ask your webhost for assistance to locate them.

Yes it could be configuration

no, not memory issue

not permalink issue

disabled all plugins, did not correct the problem

.htaccess is present with mod-rewrite code present.

I am not finding any help in any error log. I’ve enabled wordpress logging but I’m not getting any errors recorded in debug.log

@georgepiccexcellencecom MAMP is set to use Nginx or Apache? The .htaccess file only matters to Apache.
