It just showed some permission issues with wordpress.. I run wordpress linked to xenforo with Xenword (currently disabled for debugging)
Could this be an permission issue ? i moved the files around as root and not as the FTP user i created in plesk. Maybe do i need to chown it ?
Sorry for asking all this crap, I just really want to get my head around this and learn something
