 * Hi!
    I tried to install the WP-Edition of Ninjafirewall on a few different WordPress
   Installations I am running. Installation worked but I always get the following
   issue:
 * > NinjaFirewall fatal error: Cannot connect to WordPress database. Review your
   > installation, your site is not protected.
 * I checked it with the debug script from another Thread. The Result was:
 * DB_NAME: OK
 * DB_USER: OK
 * DB_PASSWORD: OK
 * DB_HOST: OK
 * table_prefix: OK
 * Do you have any Idea how to fix this? Tried it on a fresh installation of WordPress,
   running the twentysixteen theme. Thank you very much!

 * Hi,
 * Can you test it using the latest DB script available here: [http://nintechnet.com/share/wp-db.txt](http://nintechnet.com/share/wp-db.txt)
 * 1. Rename this file to “wp-db.php”.
    2. Upload it into your WordPress root folder.
   3. Go to [http://YOUR](http://YOUR) WEBSITE/wp-db.php 4. Delete it afterwards.

 * Hi! Thank you for your reply.
    It seems that everything is alright with that?
 * Version: 1.2
    Found wp-config.php. Opening it for reading. Looking for DB_NAME,
   DB_USER, DB_PASSWORD, DB_HOST and $table_prefix: DB_NAME: found ‘db542164873’
   DB_USER: found ‘dbo542164873’ DB_PASSWORD: found (click here to view password)
   DB_HOST: found ‘db542164873.db.1and1.com’ table_prefix: found ‘jhq_’ Attempting
   to connect to the DB: OK Attempting to read NinjaFirewall’s options (nfw_options)
   from the DB: OK Calling fetch_object: OK Exiting.

 * It looks all good.
    Maybe you should uninstall the firewall, download a fresh
   copy and re-install it?

 * I already tried that.
    I set up a fresh Install of wordpress connected it to 
   a fresh database and downloaded and installed the newest version of ninjafirewall(
   wp-edition). The installation was running well except of the firewall-test at
   the end of the installation process. That is where the Issue was reported first.
   Also I am running the twentysixteen theme (newest version), so i think this would
   not be a theme conflict. I have the same issue on all installations (at least
   5) and with other themes too. Might this be an issue of 1and1?

 * Themes shouldn’t be an issue because NinjaFirewall loads before WordPress, its
   plugins and themes.
    Is your hosting plan specific to WordPress, i.e., it may
   have some specific restrictions or settings?
