NOT working with wp 5.8

Seems related to the fact that my setup was missing a .htaccess file in the root folder.

Hi @agitnaeta

when you setup WP for the first time a .htaccess file is generated in the root folder of your WP install, please note that this file need to be readable by your web-server so give it the appropriates rights & owner, please find the content :

# BEGIN WordPress
# The directives (lines) between "BEGIN WordPress" and "END WordPress" are
# dynamically generated, and should only be modified via WordPress filters.
# Any changes to the directives between these markers will be overwritten.
<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
RewriteEngine On
RewriteRule .* - [E=HTTP_AUTHORIZATION:%{HTTP:Authorization}]
RewriteBase /
RewriteRule ^index\.php$ - [L]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule . /index.php [L]
</IfModule>
# END WordPress

Yep in my case the issue was present because no .htaccess was present in the wp root folder.

Thanks for the follow-up.
