I have a site that was develop 2 years ago. Today some guy said me that admin access of my site are in free access.



Site was developed by one small webagency. I checked in DB wp_users and saw only one fake user added couple years ago (it seems for testing). I do not see my actual admin acces at this table.



I am not sure how this happend. Where I can find my admin login/passwords? Any search on DB by login name do not give me any results.



WordPress version is 4.5.15

          Since you have access to the wp_users table, just modify the username and email directly in the database, then go to the site's forgot password page and reset your password.

          What visual should I use to simply compare current year value vs last year in Power BI desktop

          Image
          0 I have column SubToBind that shows current year ratio and column PY SubToBind which shows previous year ratio. How can I simply create a card that would be displaying them both in a nice way? Something like that: I cannot achieve that with regular card, I also tried Card with States by OKViz but also unable to see both values. In KPI visual - I dont like the word "Goal", it will confuse end users. Are there any cards or other visuals that would do the job?
