 * Hello,
 * I constantly get a 404 documentation error. Somebody tried to help me giving 
   me this answer:
 * Make sure that you have .htaccess file in your main wordpress folder.
    If not,
   please create one and insert the text below in it, with your folder name <IfModule
   mod_rewrite.c> RewriteEngine On RewriteBase /your-folder-name/ RewriteRule ^index\.
   php$ – [L] RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME}!-
   d RewriteRule . /your-folder-name/index.php [L] </IfModule>
 * I don’t know where i can find the main wordpress folder and what supposed to 
   be the folder name. Can anybody help me out?

 * It going to depend on where you setup wordpress on your server. No one can answer
   this except you and maybe your webhost?
