The error establishing a database connection often happens after migrating a WordPress website, when it refuses to connect to the WordPress database.
Here are some of the main reasons behind this error message:
👉 The database login credentials are incorrect
👉 The database server is down
👉 Some of the core files are corrupted
Here are four methods to fix the error establishing a database connection in WordPress:
🟣 Match the database login credentials
Check whether the database login settings match the ones in your wp-config.php file using your FTP client or File Manager. This video explains how to do this using hPanel.
Edit these lines of code to match the database information:
define('DB_NAME', 'fill_this_with_your_current_database_name');
define('DB_USER', 'fill_this_with_your_current_username');
define('DB_HOST', 'fill_this_with_your_current_localhost');
🟣 Make sure your domain is pointing to your host provider
Make sure your domain is correctly pointing to your web host. Use a WHOIS lookup tool and your hosting control panel to check the nameservers.
🟣 Check your database server
This error can also appear if your MySQL server is down. If the database server reaches its maximum capacity, it will not be able to handle more connections. To check your database server using PHP, find the code in our Hostinger Tutorial linked in the Handy Links section.
🟣 Fix the corrupted files
Check your themes and plugins to see if any of them is not working properly. If the error message showed up after you activated a new theme or plugin, we recommend deactivating and deleting it.

Hello , I’m can you do the other of this but just on and Apple device like on iPad or iPhone because am having the same problem but on a iPad device . Iam needing help qwq
Hey there, you can try the following methods to fix this error on your mobile devices:
- Make sure your iPad is connected to the internet and has a strong signal. If your internet connection is weak or unstable, it could cause issues with your website's database connection.
- Check your database login credentials. Verify that the database login credentials you're using in your website's wp-config.php file are correct. Double-check the database name, username, password, and hostname to ensure they are accurate.
- If the error is caused by a corrupted database, you can try repairing it using phpMyAdmin, which is a web-based tool for managing MySQL databases. If your web hosting provider does not offer phpMyAdmin, you can try using a WordPress plugin such as WP-DBManager or WP-Optimize to repair your database.
We hope it helps, but if you have any other questions, please write them here or send us an email at support@hostinger.com 🙏🏻
