Database connection error

It’s showing a database connection error.

I’d read below for a few possible solutions, this should be a fairly easy fix if you follow the instructions.

Thank you David. I will look into it right now.

You can also rename the plugin directory if a plugin is causing the problem.

The problem in implementing any of the solution is that wrodpress will not allow me to log on to the admin of my site… I go to the:

https://stephenmosher.com/wp-login.php

and I get the SAME database error – so I can’t make changes to any code or tech on my website.

I am screwed basically here.

Do you have FTP access?

You will have to edit the wp-config.php file.

If you have Skype or Line I can try and help.

As long as you have these details filled out properly (XXXXXXXXX, YYYYYYYYY, ZZZZZZZZZZ, server.whatever-you-need.com) everything should connect unless the database was deleted from the server or something else weird happened.

// ** MySQL settings - You can get this info from your web host ** //
/** The name of the database for WordPress */
define('DB_NAME', 'XXXXXXXXX');

/** MySQL database username */
define('DB_USER', 'YYYYYYYYY');

/** MySQL database password */
define('DB_PASSWORD', 'ZZZZZZZZZZ');

/** MySQL hostname */
define('DB_HOST', 'server.whatever-you-need.com');

I just saw you got the settings right and your page shows up now ^^
