 * Hi Guys
 * I am now getting this message below. I have changed the password via the hosting
   and hopefully it will be back up shortly. I am a little confused as to how this
   is happening though. Is this is a security issue? Is there an infected plug in?
   If so how would I be able to tell which one it is?
 * Warning: mysql_connect() [function.mysql-connect]: Access denied for user ‘wpelitedb’@’
   188.121.41.215’ (using password: YES) in /home/content/87/11912787/html/wp-includes/
   wp-db.php on line 1409
    Error establishing a database connection This either 
   means that the username and password information in your wp-config.php file is
   incorrect or we can’t contact the database server at 37.148.204.81. This could
   mean your host’s database server is down.
 * Are you sure you have the correct username and password?
    Are you sure that you
   have typed the correct hostname? Are you sure that the database server is running?
   If you’re unsure what these terms mean you should probably contact your host.
   If you still need help you can always visit the WordPress Support Forums.

 * Hi it turned out to be the host name was typed in the wrong format. So that is
   fixed however the site is still a little messed up. Only one page is viewable
   and the rest are all just blacked out. Any ideas?

   the input so far 🙂

 * I’m seeing a BBpress error now. You may want to re-install that plugin.

 * I had someone working on it who to be fair didnt sound like they had a clue what
   they were doing. In any case I have since managed to get to the core of the problem
   myself and I am hoping we are now back to normality.

 * Typical just as I type the site has gone down again. Now I am getting blank white
   pages.

 * Made the decision to wipe everything and start from scratch. New theme, new host
   etc. Not ideal but too many things have been messed around with. I have a feeling
   the person who was originally working on it caused more damage than help. Anyway
   thought I would update you 🙂
