 * OK you may be right for your issue but it certainly made my image editing/positioning
   issue go away, and the problem only started after the 1803 upgrade. I think there
   are a couple of updates to TinyMCE pending but I haven’t seen a date for them
   yet, one of which addresses an image related issue, so I’m keeping my fingers
   crossed it will allow me to go back to Edge.

 * Are you using the Edge Browser? If you are then I suggest you try using Chrome–
   I’ve had various problems with the latest versions of WordPress and TinyMCE when
   using Edge – I guess something changed with the last big Microsoft Update to 
   Win 10. When I reluctantly switched to Chrome the problems went away.

 * Could you possibly give us an estimate as to when 4.7.13 will be available via
   WordPress please? I’m using Edge as my default browser and am seeing several 
   of the bugs that are fixed in 4.7.13. Alternatively could you tell me how to 
   upgrade from 4.7.11 to 4.7.13 – sorry to be a pain.

 * Well blow me down! Brilliant, you’re dead right.
 * Can I just ask one more question – what does the % sign mean in the Host field
   when one first gets to the Add new user screen. I had wrongly assumed that since
   I had anyhost and the % sign was filled in it would be OK, but obviously not.
 * Thanks for your help.

 * jhvidyut, I’m not sure what your comments have to do with the problem in the 
   initial post. Would you mind opening your own thread please and not attaching
   your problem to this post – thank you.You will stand a better chance of getting
   a relevant answer.

 * I’ve tried this but I’ll give it another go. I can’t see how to include a picture
   of the definition so let me describe it – I used a userid of Newuser and a password
   of Newpassword I left the Anyhost field with the % character in it and I left
   the tick in the field “Grant all privileges on database “southamlocal”” and “
   Global Privileges” had a tick in it. The result was
 * User Host Type Privileges Grant Action
    Newuser % global ALL PRIVILEGES Yes Edit
   Privileges database-specific ALL PRIVILEGES No Edit Privileges
 * I don’t know why Grant was set to “No” in the database-specific line – I have
   tried changing this to “Yes” but although the change was accepted the “Yes” value
   made no difference to the problem’ and I still end up with “Error Establishing
   Database Connection” when trying to access the web site even though phpMyAdmin
   assures me that Newuser has access to the database “southamlocal”. I’m stumped!

 * I resolved this myself in the end but since it is 3 months ago I have forgotten
   exactly how but I believe it was an issue with WordPress not being able to handle
   an automatic update of the Avada theme. A manual update of the theme resolved
   the issue.

 * With all due respect I think you have mis-read what I wrote. I’m not asking for
   help with Avada, and I’m not asking for help with MAMP – I’m asking for help 
   with an error message from WordPress. The error message I quoted comes up in 
   WordPress and says WordPress could not do something. As it stands the error message
   is unhelpful since it gives no clue as to why there was a failure in WordPress
   and therefore what one should do about it. When I was coding it was drummed into
   us that there was no point saying “an error occurred”! You needed to explain 
   in a decent message exactly what the error was, what the return and reason codes
   where and if possible an explanation of what to do about it to resolve it – much
   modern programming seems to fail this basic test.
 * I would be grateful for an explanation of what this WordPress error message is
   supposed to be trying to tell me. Thank you.
