 * I have used the same WordPress install, database, etcetera, for the past year
   and a half. Late yesterday, it just up and decided not to notice the user or 
   password anymore. So today when I tried to switch users for it, that worked, 
   but now it’s giving me the infamous “can’t select database” error.
 * I go to phpMyAdmin, and my database is there, as is all my content. I am totally
   at my wit’s end. Any idea of how to fix this?
 * Thanks,
    Lelia Katherine Thomas
 * P.S. – I know it’s not my server, because other WordPress installations on my
   server are working fine.

 * …this just suddenly fixed itself. I still have NO IDEA what happened. God.
