 * When I tried to add the code from PropellerAds and when I update the file, it
   was gone. I also noticed I can’t upload plugins or download any new plugins. 
   My WordPress theme is Nucleare by Cresta. Is it possible for me to restore the
   header.php file?
 * The page I need help with: _[[log in](https://login.wordpress.org/?redirect_to=https%3A%2F%2Fwordpress.org%2Fsupport%2Ftopic%2Fdeleted-header-php-file-2%2F%3Foutput_format%3Dmd&locale=en_US)
   to see the link]_

 * You can download a new copy of the theme, and thus any missing files, from [https://wordpress.org/themes/nucleare/](https://wordpress.org/themes/nucleare/)
 * After that’s fixed, you might want to use their plugin instead of editing the
   theme directly: [https://wordpress.org/plugins/propellerads-official/](https://wordpress.org/plugins/propellerads-official/)

 * I tried copy&paste the header.php file using the Theme Editor but when I save
   the update, and refresh the page, it would be empty again. No matter how many
   times I paste and update the file it would just remain empty. I don’t understand
   why…

 * You’ll need to access your server via [SFTP or FTP](https://wordpress.org/support/article/ftp-clients/),
   or a file manager in your hosting account’s control panel (consult your hosting
   provider’s documentation for specifics on these), navigate to /wp-content/themes/
   nucleare/ and upload a new copy of the header.php file there.

 * I uploaded the new copy of header.php file in a file manager in my hosting account
   and it keeps saying upload failed. Nothing is working…

 * It’s really weird because I also can’t install any plugins and themes. And the
   website doesn’t have a background or any navigation, even if I changed it to 
   another theme. I don’t understand what is the error and how to fix it.

 * If the upload itself is failing through a file manager, you’ll need to speak 
   with your hosting provider’s support about this.
