Answers.Text: Thanks! :)
  .htaccess is definitely there, it's strange, all other pages work except the civicrm page
  The site was cloned through ssh and then the wp-content folder is version controlled

  <p>So for example staging.site.com/civicrm?page=CiviCRM&amp;q=civicrm/contribute/transact will return a 404 error (anything /civicrm returns a 404 error inc "staging.site.com/civicrm") There is a single error in the error log relating</p>

  <p>The CiviCRM page in WordPress exists and every other page works okay, the main production site works okay</p>
