I’ve changed the password in the original wp-config.php-file
That password must match the SQL database user password set at the server and has nothing to do with anything else.
Are you trying to do an installation or trying to access an existing site?
Yes I know, and I figure it’s a password-related problem since it happens when I update + change password. But the password is matching, so I’m really puzzled… I’ve even tried to change between the old and the new password. It’s my own site, btw.
In the wp-config.php file ends with this, I don’t know… does it look strange?
/** WordPress absolute path to the WordPress directory. */
if ( !defined(‘ABSPATH’) )
define(‘ABSPATH’, dirname(__FILE__) . ‘/’);
/** Sets up WordPress vars and included files. */
require_once(ABSPATH . ‘wp-admin/setup-config.php’);
require( ABSPATH . ‘wp-settings.php’);
I have to say that I’m not a skilled user here, my knowledge is pretty basic.
You and I know about the same in relation to wp-config, but your last line there does not appear in the default wp-config.sample.php:
/** Absolute path to the WordPress directory. */
if ( !defined('ABSPATH') )
define('ABSPATH', dirname(__FILE__) . '/');
/** Sets up WordPress vars and included files. */
require_once(ABSPATH . 'wp-settings.php');
So, maybe try this with it commented out to see what happens:
/** Absolute path to the WordPress directory. */
if ( !defined('ABSPATH') )
define('ABSPATH', dirname(__FILE__) . '/');
/** Sets up WordPress vars and included files. */
//require_once(ABSPATH . 'wp-settings.php');
I did try doing that before, and it lets me access the site, but it doesn’t look quite right
(take a look here – there’s something wrong in the top..
Thanks for your support, btw!
Those at the top are reports from ‘define( ‘WP_DEBUG’, true );’ (set in wp-config.php) as caused by your theme. The theme problems should be addressed, of course, so I would copy them for reference and then comment the ‘WP_DEBUG’ line out for now:
//define( 'WP_DEBUG', true );
It doesn’t really do the trick…
