    Hi there,

    I am having issues with my website bizstay.co.uk. It gives ‘error establishing database connection’ message every time I try to connect. Same message is given when I log in to wp-admin. I have checked wp-config.php all seems to be perfectly fine including username/password etc.. I have contacted my server provider again they say they do not see any problems.

    I am unable to get a response from the people who helped me creating the website. Any other suggestions? The website has been down now for nearly a week and this is really frustrating.

    Have you created a database name and matched it with the database username?

    If not, I would suggest checking through the Codex page, “Configure Database Settings“.

    If this is not a brand new site and the site was working before and you didn’t change anything, you need to get your webhost to help. It’s their issue; they changed something on the server re: databse connection details. Or check the database crendentials yourself in Cpanel against those on wp-config.php.
