 * Aloha [@mrtunes](https://wordpress.org/support/users/mrtunes/) if you’re having
   this issue with MAMP, I have no idea how to help/ However, if you trying to do
   this on my macOS I wish you lick. Maybe I can help there, or at least maybe help
   you navigate the system, and can tell you where I said, “forget this!”

 * Thanks so much for all your help!
 * This fixed the one problem except I still get the database error. I am having
   the hardest time connecting the user and database.
 * GRANT SELECT, INSERT, DELETE ON database.* TO ‘me’@’localhost’;
 * Last time I used mySQL I don’t remember it being this challenging.
