Try to disable any cache plug-in from sftp and than check.

Resolved

solved the problem: disabled all plugins one by one except QSM and checked. The culprit was wp-super-cache. It is installed by default by Dreamhost.
Now all other plugins are installed and activated including this QSM except wp-super-cache, and everything is working.

i downgraded php from 7.4 to 7.2, still same problem. i am on dreamhost.
