Fix Error establishing a database connection in WordPress
Use this Cyber Grapes checklist to fix Error establishing a database connection in WordPress on Managed Hosting for WordPress. Confirm access and recent changes first, then apply the targeted fix before you rewrite DNS or rebuild the site.
- Confirm the MySQL service is running in Managed WordPress dashboard and the database still exists.
- Open wp-config.php and verify DB_NAME, DB_USER, DB_PASSWORD, and DB_HOST.
- Reset the database user password in the hosting panel and update wp-config.php to match.
- If the site was recently migrated, import the SQL dump and repair URLs.
