   no upgrade, nothing. sofar the site has worked fine, but now i uploaded a new
   file with ftp and the site gives me: Error 404 – Not Found

    when nothing has been changed. it worked
   perfectly.

 * > i uploaded a new file with ftp
 * What kind of file? A template file? If it’s not a template file, you need to 
   upload it via the Media Library.

 * Ah yes. WP needs to know that he has the file. ok thanks.
    i’ll mark the topic
   solved. cause i think the real problem is somewhere in the plugin im trying to
   use. so the real fix will be upgrade. ok thanks again.
