 * Hi,
 * I tried to view my webpage (aerogaurd.co.uk) today but saw the “Error Establishing
   a Database Connection” message. So I followed a helpful Youtube clip to check
   that all my DB_ details were correct in wp-config.php.
    I found that they weren’t&
   edited username & password with smug confidence that I had it licked. Wrong! 
   Now I just get the classic white screen, it’s everywhere. All my admin pages 
   are white. I have tried disabling plugins etc but am convinced my changes to 
   wp-config.php must be the problem. But just can’t fix it. Does anyone have any
   good next steps? Thank you, Chris

 * Try confirming your database access details with your hosts. Then try creating
   your wp-config.php file from scratch using wp-config-sample.php as a template.

 * Thanks esmi.
    I contacted my host and they found my database was corrupt. Re-
   installed everything & so far so good!
