    Hi,

    I am getting the same error “Error establishing a database connection” on both the front-end of the site, and the back-end of the site (wp-admin). My site is: http://www.msaphawaii.org/

    I have searched some information on google and it seems I need to check the WP-Config.php file. Could anyone tell me where I can find the wp-config file when I could not long in to the dashboard? I am quite new with wp and coding, so please forgive me if I did not explain clearly about my question.

    Thank you very much for your help!

    Use an FTP client such as FileZilla and connect to your web hosts. If you’ve never done it before, your hosts should be able to provide details on your username/password settings etc. Once connected, navigate to the root of your WordPress installation where, in most cases, you’ll find wp-config.php.

    Download, make a backup copy, edit and then upload back to the site.
