Permalink problem

It turns out it was a server issue after all.

Adding junk text to the .htaccess file should produce an error but it didn’t, indicating the .htaccess file wasn’t being read at all – https://docs.bolt.cm/3.4/howto/making-sure-htaccess-works

I had another look on the hosting console and there was an option to “Sync” the .htaccess file. This fixed it up.
