Main loop works on local not on live.

Greetings,
I have a site where my main loop is not picking up any posts at all while my headline loop works fine. I´ve used wp_Query and reset the query before the main loop. On my localhost the theme works but once live I´m not getting anything other than the headline. I´ve been using the underscore theme but frankly I´m stumped. Any help appreciated

<div id="headline">
	<?php
	/* Headline Query */
		$query2 = new WP_Query( 'post_type=headline' );
		while ( $query2->have_posts() ) {
		$query2->the_post();
		get_template_part( 'template-parts/content', get_post_format() );
		}

	// Restore original Post Data
	wp_reset_postdata();
	 ?>

	 </div>
    </main><!-- END #main -->

    <div id="subpages">

		<?php if ( have_posts() ) : ?>				

			<?php if ( is_home() && ! is_front_page() ) : ?>
				<header>
					<h1 class="page-title screen-reader-text"><?php single_post_title(); ?></h1>
				</header>
			<?php endif; ?>

			<?php /* Start the Loop */ ?>

			<?php while ( have_posts() ) : the_post(); ?>					

				<?php

					/*
					 * Include the Post-Format-specific template for the content.
					 * If you want to override this in a child theme, then include a file
					 * called content-___.php (where ___ is the Post Format name) and that will be used instead.
					 */
					get_template_part( 'template-parts/content', get_post_format() );
				?>

			<?php endwhile; ?>

			<?php the_posts_navigation(); ?>

		<?php else : ?>

			<?php get_template_part( 'template-parts/content', 'none' ); ?>

		<?php endif; ?>

        </div><!-- #subpages -->
