Error 404 – steps from FAQ don't help

Hey.

I’m facing a Error 404 after duplicating a WordPress installation from localhost to a webserver. On localhost everything works fine.

I searched the web for any similar problems someone might have had. Unfortunatly I couldn’t find a solution for my specific problem.

I also read the FAQ but nothing seems to work for me.

FAQ

– The number one issue is usually a misconfigured wp-config.php file
couldn’t find anything unusual
– A misconfigured .htaccess or functions.php file
created blank .htaccess, did the permalink thing again, did not change anything in functions.php
– A redirect plugin you may have installed
don’t use one
– Inside an html file via a meta refresh tag or a JavaScript redirect
nope
– Some cpanels allow for redirects.
neither
– Follow these steps for fixing perma links.
did that like 5 times
– See “View Install Report” on the final step of the installer for clues to items that may have not been processed completely
everything is fine
– Try to remove your .htaccess file and start with a fresh one
done

Also I used a redirect checker tool with this result:

I used Duplicator several times now. Also on this WordPress site. First time with problems now.

Would appreciate any help.
