WordPress: /%postname%/ permalinks return 404

The WP home page works, posts 404. I saved permalinks. On Apache this was .htaccess; Herd seemed to handle it. Does Native nginx read htaccess?

Native does not read .htaccess — and should not: WordPress vhosts already include typical permalink rewrites. Same idea as Bitrix: a hosting archive should open without hand-written nginx.

Check:

1. Docroot is the WP root (wp-config.php, not a random /public).
2. In wp-admin, save permalinks once more (flush rewrite).
3. Sync vhosts after a docroot change.
4. Multisite — aliases/wildcard, see /help/multisite.

One WP on Free is a fair way to try MacFullStack. A second client site beside it is Pro.
