I had changed the sql password and had failed to update it on the wp-config.php. Thanks for your help. * Forum: [Installing WordPress](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/installation/) In reply to: [Changing the site URL](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/changing-the-site-url-3/) * Thread Starter [ssimmons](https://wordpress.org/support/users/ssimmons/) * (@ssimmons) * [16 years ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/changing-the-site-url-3/#post-1485475) * Thanks Samboll, I have changed the URL directly in the database as recommended in the Changing_The _Site_URL. It appears that everything is set with the new URL address, but I continue to get “Error establishing a data base connection” message. Any ideas on what may be causing the problem? I know there are things I would need to change in the dashboard, but can not access it. Thanks for any suggestions! Viewing 2 replies - 1 through 2 (of 2 total)
