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 -->
