 * This is my first post. Id like to say first off i am registered on 000WEBHOST.
   Which has been amazing. First 2 times in set wordpress on version 4.3. No issue
   at all. Then came the update for wordpress 4.3. And this were it all went wrong.
   Downloaded and uploaded the updated version. The dashboard screen was corrupted.
   And i have wiped and reset account til i am fed up with it. I have create the
   database have the all of the details put in accurately in the installation screen.
   And all i get is issues with the files that have connect to the database connection.
   I do the manual database part. I don’t know where to save the “wp-config.php”
   so i saved it in the root folder. The password in the error i have no idea were
   its getting it from. The password i am using is being allowed.
 * This is the following message:
    **Warning:** mysql_connect() [function.mysql-
   connect]: Access denied for user ‘a1677803_jd80’@’10.1.1.44’ (using password:
   YES) in **/home/a1677803/public_html/wp-includes/wp-db.php **on line **1515**
 * The a1677803 is the user name i have. Before this is had a issue with a file 
   in the wp-includes folder. The was called “wp-dp.php”
 * The WEBHOST company tells the free basic package is causing the issue. Which 
   is lies. As its worked before. If any other information is needed i will post.
   So someone here can help.
 * I’m getting new errors all the time is beyond me how to fix this.
