 * Hello,
 * is there a possibility that Wordfence impacts the database connection ?
 * As I changed the login security options, I have some trouble with my website.
   This message is showing : “Error establishing a database connection”.
 * Is it possible that Wordfence caused this problem ? I am also checking the host’s
   database server but I haven’t found any answer yet.
 * Sometimes, I manage to connect to the website for few seconds…
 * The page I need help with: _[[log in](https://login.wordpress.org/?redirect_to=https%3A%2F%2Fwordpress.org%2Fsupport%2Ftopic%2Fdatabase-error-309%2F%3Foutput_format%3Dmd&locale=en_US)
   to see the link]_
