    Hi, I have a strange behavior with a PDF document, which can be downloaded from my WordPress-site:
    First, I′ve uploaded the PDF into the media library. Second I′ve created a link in my footer-column/widget-area on my Website to make the PDF downloadable. It worked.
    But then, after time, the link and the download did not worked any more. “Forbidden access”. So I found the following solution: with FileZilla I went to the PDF file, right click, file permissions and I set the value to “644”.
    It worked, the PDF was downloadable again – but only for some days. After time the same problem occurs again and I have to set the file permission again and again and again.
    The file permission changes on its own from 644 to 200 !!!
    Do you have any idea if this problem could be mady by caching?
