URL rewrite problem

Hello. I recently used a YooTheme template to build a website in J4.


On my staging server, everything worked perfectly, however when I moved the website to my client's server (using Akeeba Backup and Kickstart), URL rewrite stopped working. All of the links in the menu display as "404."


1. The SEF Rewrite is functional.
2.) The.htaccess file appears to be in good condition.
3.) Attempting to # out recommended lines in.htaccess didn't seem to have any impact.

Possible influencing factors

1. This is a special J4 installation that was placed inside a folder of an already-existing website (https://norfolk-sheriff.com/jobs). I've successfully done this before, so I had anticipated that it would also work here.
2. The J4 installation's websiteon which the J4 installation is installed was created in J3; I haven't been able to update it because one of the key extensions utilised hasn't yet been upgraded to J4 functionalitywhich makes me extremely angry.
3.) URL and SEF rewriting are successful on the parent sitethe parent site, URL and SEF rewriting are successful.

If I disable URL Rewrite, everything functions as intended. The site looks great and works perfectly, however I can't seem to get rid of the dreaded "index.php" from my URLs.

Anyone with ideas or knowledge to share?

sincerely appreciated
