Is there a reason why you’re not using a form plugin that’s dedicated to doing forms properly?

Not upgrading WordPress is a horrible plan. There were recently some very important security updates. Disable updates and not installing them is not a good solution. * Forum: [Fixing WordPress](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/how-to-and-troubleshooting/) In reply to: [Upload website to server](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/upload-website-to-server/) * [John Parris](https://wordpress.org/support/users/mindctrl/) * (@mindctrl) * [11 years, 3 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/upload-website-to-server/#post-6080414) * Hi, * Who is your web host? If you sign into the site using FTP, what files do you see in the root folder? Can you share a screenshot?

If it wasn’t smart enough to rewrite the links to the new site URL, that’s what you’ll end up with. There are various search and replace tools you can use to search that URL and replace it, though it can be tricky.

It looks like you simply have too many columns visible. Does it sort itself out if you turn some of them off under the Screen Options tab?

The default width is 20%. You can override that using the Editor [child theme](https://array.is/articles/child-themes), by adding some CSS to the style.css in that child theme. * Something like: `.site-header { width: 25%; }` Viewing 15 replies - 631 through 645 (of 942 total) [←](https://wordpress.org/support/users/mindctrl/replies/page/42/?output_format=md) [1](https://wordpress.org/support/users/mindctrl/replies/?output_format=md) [2](https://wordpress.org/support/users/mindctrl/replies/page/2/?output_format=md) [3](https://wordpress.org/support/users/mindctrl/replies/page/3/?output_format=md)… [42](https://wordpress.org/support/users/mindctrl/replies/page/42/?output_format=md) 43 [44](https://wordpress.org/support/users/mindctrl/replies/page/44/?output_format=md)… [61](https://wordpress.org/support/users/mindctrl/replies/page/61/?output_format=md) [62](https://wordpress.org/support/users/mindctrl/replies/page/62/?output_format=md) [63](https://wordpress.org/support/users/mindctrl/replies/page/63/?output_format=md) [→](https://wordpress.org/support/users/mindctrl/replies/page/44/?output_format=md)
