I really messed it up…

  • I did the old Change URL address on the General Settings of my WP-Admin and well tried to fix it on my own, I saw the links on recovery a little too late and tried to fix the problem myself. Before i could see my website blog.wtfconcept.com without a template kind of SafeMode appearance, but then I did something where i recovered to an older time and now i’m getting this message bellow

    ——————

    Error establishing a database connection

    This either means that the username and password information in your wp-config.php file is incorrect or we can’t contact the database server at wtf0932705172687.db.5278152.hostedresource.com. This could mean your host’s database server is down.

    —————–

    idk what to do…. i’ve been at this for 9 hours straight…..

    First, try this and see if it helps resolve the issue:

    1. If you have access to your database, in the wp_options table, make sure ‘siteurl’ (should be record 2)is set to the correct domain.

    2. check your .htaccess

    3. check your wp-config.php

    4.check with your server

    I did this, blog_id = 0 /// option_id = 2 //
    my domain has always been https://blog.wtfconcept.com i changed it to wtfconcept.com but on those tutorials on how to change it back it says i should add something like https://blog.wtfconcept.com/WordPressLocate <— i did this but still nothing.

    I’m sorry i pretty much know nothing about webdesign/code… (the lingo) but I can research…

    what would i have to do in .htaccess ?

    found the .htaccess

    —————-

    # BEGIN WordPress
    <IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
    RewriteEngine On
    RewriteBase /
    RewriteRule ^index\.php$ – [L]
    RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
    RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
    RewriteRule . /index.php [L]
    </IfModule>

    # END WordPress
    ———————-

    also checked wp-config, doesn’t make much sense but it all looks fine, i didn’t mess with that at all. I know it can’t be my host, because for the two years i’ve had the site its messed up because of my stupid action (changing the URL in general settings)

    Process List in MYSQL, it kind of makes sense that under DATABASE it reads NONE

    Kill 121410016 wtf0932705172687 72.167.233.37:54666 None Query 0 — SHOW PROCESSLIST

    pleasepleaseplease help :[

    i feel your pain, you are not alone, this stuff takes hammering it out to learn

    A great time to experiment and fiddle with things would be when i first started the site, just 5 days ago I started getting +100 unique visitors , granted that may not be a lot for most its a huge step for me, and well now this…

    so still when i goto https://blog.wtfconcept.com it just shows up with a “Error establishing a database connection” luckily i still have all my content in the ftp, but thats about it.

    I’ve learned a lot, but still nothing!

    Alright in General Settings of my WP-Dashboards i changed both of the URL settings from :
    blog.wtfconcept.com
    blog.wtfconcept.com

    to :

    wtfconcept.com
    wtfconcept.com

    ——

    I quickly got a 404 error and realized i did something wrong, I pressed the back button (<) and tried to change it back to how it was but it would no longer save. The website blog.wtfconcept.com would appear the content was there, it just seemed like the whole theme/template was missing! I know there was an easy solution to this but I did not know of it and instead tried my own solution… >.<

    I went to my File Manager and did a “Restore” so it would restore it to an earlier time, about 2 hours ago (which seemed like i made the mistake just 20 minutes more than 2 hours.)

    Now i would go to my website blog.wtfconcept.com and this time see a Error Establishing a Database Connection.

    Please, i’m hoping someone can direct me to some tutorial or forum…
    I have tried editing several things I see no result so I change it back…
    I don’t know how much more of this i can take….. x.x
