  • This is something you need to work on with your hosts. There isn’t a lot we can do to help here other than to suggest that you re-check your wp-config.php file.

    Are you sure that your database is intact?

    Hi
    thanks esmi and Vishnu
    Hosting experts give me a demo database file link to check.
    I check it and its massage “connected”
    Also he said to me if you install any new plugin in your wordpress then maybe conflict to database..
    But i don`t know about conflicting..
    I check again wp-config.php ..
    thanks

    I’ve never come across a plugin that could prevent you from connecting to your database but try resetting the plugins folder by FTP or PhpMyAdmin.

    Well, I’m not surprised that it wasn’t a plugin. I did think the suggestion was a little far-fetched. Is your site’s database using the same database host name as the test database?
