Fix WordPress Database Connection Error
Budget: ₹600 – ₹1,500 INR
My site, www.nilaindia.com, has suddenly gone down with the classic “Error Establishing a Database Connection” message. I have not touched plugins, themes, or any database settings recently, and I can get straight into cPanel if you need full access. I have not yet opened wp-config.php to confirm the DB credentials, so that will be one of the first things to verify.
What I need from you is a quick diagnosis and a clean fix that brings the site back online without data loss. Typical tasks might include checking wp-config.php credentials, repairing or optimizing the database via phpMyAdmin, and confirming that the MySQL service itself is healthy on the server. Once resolved, please let me know exactly what was wrong and the steps you took so I can avoid a repeat.
The job is complete when the homepage loads normally again and WordPress can be accessed through the admin dashboard.
