Re: People can't download my PDFs, taken to homepage instead.

I am wondering if it is the upm_file plugin.

Hi Colak,

Thanks for your input, shall I try to install a new upm_file plugin? Do I just search for it on this site?

Thanks everyone, your help is much appreciated!

Upm plugins are no longer supported by their developer. If you post the code you are using for the page in question we might be able to propose an alternative method.

Re: People can't download my PDFs, taken to homepage instead.

ATM I’m clueless with the errors your site throws. But as the most important step I’d advise you to backup your database, like Dragondz already said. That way you can always return to the current state should anything go awry in the process of repairing your website. You can do that via PHPmyAdmin:

Choose the database that contains Textpattern’s tables (not the Textpattern table itself) and click the Export tab. Choose “SQL” from the dropdown menu (probably preselected) and klick OK. Wait for the window to update, then copy the complete chunk of code to a text file and save.

If for any reason PHPmyAdmin is not an option, you can install the plugin rss_admin_db_manager. If you prefer doing so let us know and we will guide you through the installation.
