  • Recheck you wp-config.php file and see if you got correct database info.

    i am having the same issue. all of database info (username, passwords, hostname) is correct. i’ve also tried a few variations and none seem to work.

    i’ve also tried a few variations and none seem to work.

    There can not be any variations it has to be right even empty space or dot will give a error.

    Same problem here. I have uploaded a fresh wordpress copy, check wp-config and database details on Cpanel. All match but still getting his error?

    Since you using cpanel did you prefix the user name and database with your Cpanel username.

    Cpanelusername_databasename
    Cpanelusername_username

    yep

    did you check with your host if you need to use localhost something else like url.

    i have. and i’ve tried it with localhost. and i’ve tried it with a url. none seem to work.

    Thanks Govpatel,
    Wordpress codex also suggests that Cpanel often uses ‘localhost’
    I uploaded wp-config with ‘localhost’ and the error changed to :

    Failed opening required ‘/home/tre166/public_html/wp-content/plugins/breadcrumb-navxt/includes/mtekk_adminkit.php’ (include_path=’.:/usr/lib/php:/usr/local/lib/php’) in /home/tre16634/public_html/wp-content/plugins/breadcrumb-navxt/breadcrumb_navxt_admin.php on line 56

    Looks like this plugin is causing the problem
    breadcrumb-navxt
    Using ftp filezills delete or rename the plugin.

    YES!!
    Thank you Gov!
    I deleted breadcrumbs and I have wordpress log in page.
    phew

    you are welcome
