 * When i want to install a new plugin i get a blank screen, so without any warning.
   So wordpress can’t install or update a new plugin
 * When i try to install a plugin manually, i don’t see the plugin appearing in 
   the plugin directory.
 * this all happened after changing the database with a previous version.

 * i cloned my website a while ago as backup. Then i screwed up my website. and 
   used my backup. I deleted and the tables from the old database and filled it 
   with tables from my newer website.

 * Unless the backup was from the same site, that won’t work properly.
