    I created a new ubuntu 20.04 VM with apache and wordpress installed on the root.
    wordpress is working as expected.
    >installed reactpress
    >created a test app in /plugins/reactpress/apps/test – it runs with “npm start” as expected
    >npm run build to build the app
    >ReactPress found the test app – clicked “Build App” button in plugin config in wp.
    >ReactPress reports app is built and ready to view

    When I go to the slug, I get a 404 error.

    What am I doing wrong?

    Hello @afshinmoshrefi,

    first make sure, that you follow steps in the usage information (https://wordpress.org/support/plugin/reactpress/), step by step. Exactly in that order.

    The slug needs to be available, and it can’t be a child page. It needs to be DOMAIN/YOUR-SLUG. If another page already uses this slug, even a page in the trash, ReacPress won’t work.

    If this doesn’t work for you, I would recommend, that you try it with Local as dev environment.

    My ubuntu 20.04 instance is running as a virtualbox VM on my desktop.
    I have followed your instructions step by step multiple times.

    I think the issue is with permissions.

    Does reactpress have a error log I could look at?

    I have tried chown on all the files and tried user_owner = root www-data and my personal one. reactpress has consistently given me a 404 error. Everything seems to run fine independently; it just doesn’t work with reactpress.

    one observations: reactpress creates a page in WP with the name of my slug visible in the dashboard. When I try to view that page from the dashboard I also get a 404 error; however if I create a page manually on wordpress it works as expected.

    Not sure where to go from here.

    I personally doubt that it has something to do with permissions.

    Could you use local by flywheel for development?

    Working now. It was my issue. I copied the contents of build folder to the app folder. I should have copied the build folder and kept it intact.
