pdf link not working Joomla 3.5.1 - pdf

I've had this site (donake.net) up for about a year. Was notified by someone that the link on one of the pages to a PDF wasn't working and a link to another page wasn't working.
When I tried logging in, it wouldn't take my username and password. I realized that I need to update the version of Joomla on my GoDaddy hosting account. Once I updated the version of Joomla to 3.5.1, I was able to login and access the admin side of Joomla. I think the site was attacked because there were a lot of "registered users" that weren't real.
One of the pages was set to unpublished, so I published it and that link started working fine.
The link "VIEW A SAMPLE of the book here" on this page - http://donake.net/just-make-me-a-sammich-book still won't work. I've re-linked the PDF. Deleted the PDF and re-uploaded it with the file name changed and nothing has worked.
One other thing is the icons in the Admin side of Joomla aren't displaying either. Not sure if all of this is tied together or not. My MAIN CONCERN is getting the link to work.
Any help would be greatful!!!!
Thanks

I had the same issue, I ended up calling our hosting company and they helped me edit the .htaccess file to include pdf in the RewriteRule (for me it was on line 3).
Hope this helps because I know it drove me mad trying to fix it.
Good luck!

Homepage header stopped displaying Ads on Desktop

I'm a blogger striving to make my website stable so that I start focusing on writing blogs. Currently, I'm facing several issues but I will be addressing the most important one here. I use auto ads on my website that worked perfectly since yesterday. Immediately, ads stopped working in the header section on the desktop. Although it is working on mobile but unable to display homepage ads, especially on desktop. I've tried disabling plugins to check if it conflicts with any of them, tried restoring a backup to a date where everything was working fine, and tried placing manual Adsense codes on my header section of the website, but nothing worked for me. I've no idea what just happened. Please someone assist me in a better way. Thanks for reading patiently.

Occasionally receiving 403 error on Prestashop (both frontend and admin)

So I have this problem regarding Prestashop.
I created a subdomain for an website because I wanted to upgrade from 1.4.x to 1.6.x and I wanted the original website up and running.
I made a back-up and everything, I upgraded from 1.4.x to 1.6.x, installed a new theme, made some css / jquery changes and tested it and everything was working great.
Now the problems started to appear after moving the website from the subdomain to the domain (eg: from dev.websitename.com to websitename.com). Now I occasionally receive 403 errors for basically everything (from a jquery file, to the whole page). After a few ctrl + f5's everything works fine (but I cannot keep telling a customer to hit ctrl + f5 until the website works :| )
I tried everything I could think of. I checked and double checked the permissions on files / directories (since that's what 403 is basically telling me) and I cannot find the problem.
My hair is starting to fall because of how much inconvenience this is.
Can someone help me? Or at least point me to the right direction?
Thanks in advance!
So for anyone that is interested, the solution was to increase the number of requests per page and then everything worked! Hope it helped anyone interested.
Have a good day!

Prestashop admin panel modules and service link not work

Everyone, I have a prestashop site www.nepick.com it's going fine but when i login in my back end and click modules and services than it's automatically redirected to index page. I tried 100+ but I face same issue please help me.
it takes some tweaking with nginx bit it works. Do check out the sample nginx.configuration file at:
https://github.com/MattLoyeD/Prestashop-Nginx
The main issue is that it uses /adminXXX/index.php/product/... urls and those need to be directed to adminXXX/index.php?...
P.S. If you build on that add "attribute" and "feature" to the list of modules in that list of symfony names as well, as they are needed but currently missing.

media folder suddenly empty

I'm trying to upload some images in my wordpress backend, but it fails every time. It could be permission issues because I have had trouble with that earlier in the project. But the weirdest thing is that I see on my server that the media folder is suddenly empty, while all the media in the wordpress backend is still there and the website is running fine. Anybody got an idea how this could have happened?
Try to edit one of the picture in the media on admin dashboard, there will be a text field titled 'File URL' on the right side.
Paste that into address bar and see if the browser loads it correctly. If yes then the problem is on the folder permission (or you might have opened the wrong directory), if not, you might wanna try to clear the browser cache or use another platform to open it.
Hope it helps!

I have installed prestashop,but facing some problem..?

I have installed prestashop but I can see its back end web page and can login into it but front end shop page is not opening up in my browser and it is showing error.I dont know what is the reason?
Have I made a mistake in understanding prestashop..???Is it to be installed with some other CMS or it is self sufficient ? I have no other file except prestashop files in my web directory.
Your server may not allow URL rewriting. Contact your host to find out what you need to do in order to allow it. Additionally, you can visit the PrestaShop forums for help on this issue and many others.
