How to Fix “Error Establishing a Database Connection in WordPress”
May 16, 2023
Inspect the wp-config.php File of your WordPress website
Every WordPress installation’s configuration file contains the database settings. It may be found in the root directory of your website and is called wp-config.php.
- Log in to the website directories using FTP or the hosting control panel to inspect the file. Go to Site Tools > Site > File Manager if you are a SiteGround user.
- Every website has a root folder, which is located at yourdomain.com/public_html. In our example, the folder is located at sg-testing.com/public_html because the website’s name is sg-testing.com.
- Keep a backup of the file before making any modifications. To accomplish this, right-click the file, choose Copy, and give the copied file the new name wp-config-backup.php.
