However the radio buttons are still huge. Is there a way to make them smaller within the Contact Form 7 form? * Forum: [Fixing WordPress](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/how-to-and-troubleshooting/) In reply to: [Error in a form…](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/error-in-a-form/) * Thread Starter [batbytes](https://wordpress.org/support/users/batbytes/) * (@batbytes) * [3 years ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/error-in-a-form/#post-16775240) * Thanks, threadi * Forum: [Fixing WordPress](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/how-to-and-troubleshooting/) In reply to: [Reactivating plugins… fixing manual WP update…](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/reactivating-plugins-fixing-manual-wp-update/) * Thread Starter [batbytes](https://wordpress.org/support/users/batbytes/) * (@batbytes) * [3 years ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/reactivating-plugins-fixing-manual-wp-update/#post-16773931) * By renaming my theme folder I was able to login and reactivate the plugins. All appears to be back to normal. WP is even up to date now. As for the emails, I receive emails from all the forms just fine, it’s just that I don’t receive any from WP errors.

Are you saying I can have different passwords for ftp access and WP access? Right now both passwords are the same. I’m still new to WP. * Forum: [Everything else WordPress](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/miscellaneous/) In reply to: [Password changes](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/password-changes/) * Thread Starter [batbytes](https://wordpress.org/support/users/batbytes/) * (@batbytes) * [5 years, 4 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/password-changes/#post-13857326) * Doesn’t help. I know how to change my WP password. What I need to know is Do I change the website password through cpanel first and then change it in WP or vice versa? - This reply was modified 5 years, 4 months ago by [batbytes](https://wordpress.org/support/users/batbytes/). * Forum: [Themes and Templates](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/themes-and-templates/) In reply to: [[Twenty Twenty] 20 20 update](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/20-20-update/) * Thread Starter [batbytes](https://wordpress.org/support/users/batbytes/) * (@batbytes) * [6 years, 1 month ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/20-20-update/#post-12642916) * Many thanks, James. * Forum: [Fixing WordPress](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/how-to-and-troubleshooting/) In reply to: [Can anyone suggest a backup plugin](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/can-anyone-suggest-a-backup-plugin-which-will/) * Thread Starter [batbytes](https://wordpress.org/support/users/batbytes/) * (@batbytes) * [6 years, 1 month ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/can-anyone-suggest-a-backup-plugin-which-will/#post-12619536) * #3 is a biggie with me. I would like to be able to backup only files/pages/etc. after a specific date. One of those I tried only allowed by month to month. Another of them generated a weird file extension I had never seen before(rather than give a choice of zip, etc.). One or more, can’t remember exactly right now, only did backup and not restore. I’ll be honest here, I don’t like WordPress. I think it’s too complicated but I felt it necessary to convert my client’s website because of more & more people going mobile vs. desktop pc’s. * Forum: [Localhost Installs](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/localhost-installs/) In reply to: [Can’t select database…](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/cant-select-database-56/) * Thread Starter [batbytes](https://wordpress.org/support/users/batbytes/) * (@batbytes) * [6 years, 4 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/cant-select-database-56/page/2/#post-12290427) * Hallelujah!!

Are you sure it exists? Does the user root have permission to use the batbytes_cocn_wp database? On some systems the name of your database is prefixed with your username, so it would be like username_batbytes_cocn_wp.
