 * [@adewalelagos](https://wordpress.org/support/users/adewalelagos/): Go ahead 
   and try everything you can see written above, but if it doesn’t help then you
   should make your own new topic instead of writing on this ‘resolved’ one.

 * Hi,
    I got the same error. I call the hosting support and I got this «Upon reviewing
   your account, I show that these addresses are different because you have a redirect
   in your .htaccess file for premiumvillacollection.com that leads elswhere. You
   will need to remove this redirect. Additionally, the database error is appearing
   because the connection string does not contain the correct log in credentials
   for the database. You will need to locate this information and add the updated
   credentials. » I checked the wp-config.php file and the record are ok. Can anyone
   tell me what do exactly? thank you
