Use of undefined constant DB_USER

  • Lately I have been getting the following errors:

    [10-Aug-2018 01:38:06 UTC] PHP Warning: Use of undefined constant DB_USER – assumed ‘DB_USER’ (this will throw an Error in a future version of PHP) in /path/wp-includes/load.php on line 404
    [10-Aug-2018 01:38:06 UTC] PHP Warning: Use of undefined constant DB_PASSWORD – assumed ‘DB_PASSWORD’ (this will throw an Error in a future version of PHP) in /path/wp-includes/load.php on line 404
    [10-Aug-2018 01:38:06 UTC] PHP Warning: Use of undefined constant DB_NAME – assumed ‘DB_NAME’ (this will throw an Error in a future version of PHP) in /path/wp-includes/load.php on line 404
    [10-Aug-2018 01:38:06 UTC] PHP Warning: Use of undefined constant DB_HOST – assumed ‘DB_HOST’ (this will throw an Error in a future version of PHP) in /path/wp-includes/load.php on line 404

    Recently I have updated my server to PHP 7.2. Is this not yet supported by WordPress and will these errors be fixed later on?

    Look at your wp-config.php file. On the line that defines DB_USER, is that set off in primes, like

    define( 'DB_USER', 'something' );

    The same for DB_NAME, DB_HOST, etc.

    It says: define(‘DB_USER’, ‘something’);

    This is inserted by WP itself. Should I do something to change this?

    That’s correct.

    This may be a plugin or theme conflict. Please attempt to disable all plugins, and use one of the default (Twenty*) themes. If the problem goes away, enable them one by one to identify the source of your troubles.

    If you can install plugins, install “Health Check”: https://www.ads-software.com/plugins/health-check/ On the troubleshooting tab, you can click the button to disable all plugins and change the theme for you, while you’re still logged in, without affecting normal visitors to your site.
