Hi there,

This isn't anything I can help you with unfortunately. It isn't a theme thing, but has to do with either your WordPress installation or your hosting provider's server connection.

I recommend contacting your hosting provider for support.

Thanks!

Chris

Error establishing a database connection
This either means that the username and password information in your wp-config.php file is incorrect or we can't contact the database server at localhost. This could mean your host's database server is down.

Are you sure you have the correct username and password?
Are you sure that you have typed the correct hostname?
Are you sure that the database server is running?

I have no clue why this is happening. Edditting a post gives this message first, then refresh screen, and I am in. All unneccesary plugins deactivated, except those stable and bought. Please help.

regards

Tilasmi
