WordPress Database Connection Error Fix restores sites showing "Error establishing a database connection", for a fixed price of A$199. This error means WordPress can't reach its database, so every page is down. The cause is usually wrong database details, a corrupted table, an overloaded database server or a hosting change. I find the cause, repair it and get your site back.

Frequently asked questions
What causes the database connection error?
Wrong database details, a corrupted table, an overloaded database server or a recent hosting move.
Is my content lost?
Usually not. The data is still there, WordPress just can't connect to it.
Do you need hosting access?
Yes. The fix needs access to your hosting control panel or database.
What if my host is the problem?
I contact your host with the details they need, or recommend a move if the server keeps failing.
