Yes, it was dumb of me, I realize. I’m not sure what I did in all that, I was just very frustrated that everything suddenly stopped working. I am really new to doing this and still learning.

I emailed my host and managed to get a backup of the MySQL database, and they restored the folder where WordPress was to what it was before I tried to upgrade, but it still doesn’t work and I don’t really understand what to do with the database in Cpanel to make it work now.

I am still getting this error when I try to login to WordPress:

Error establishing a database connection! This probably means that the connection information in your wp-config.php file is incorrect. Double check it and try again.

* Are you sure you have the correct user/password?
* Are you sure that you have typed the correct hostname?
* Are you sure that the database server is running?

The name of the databse in the wp-config file matches the one that exists in Cpanel, so I’m not sure what to do or change. If anyone could help me, I would be extremely grateful.
