Dit is een veelvoorkomende fout met een aantal duidelijke oorzaken. In deze handleiding wordt uitgelegd hoe je de oorzaak kunt achterhalen en het probleem kunt oplossen.<\/p>\n<h2>Wat de foutmelding betekent<\/h2>\n<p>WordPress slaat je inhoud op in een MySQL-database. Als er geen verbinding kan worden gemaakt \u2013 meestal vanwege onjuiste inloggegevens, een probleem met de database of een storing op de server \u2013 wordt deze foutmelding weergegeven in plaats van je website.<\/p>\n<h2>Stap 1: Controleer je inloggegevens voor de database<\/h2>\n<p>Openen <em>wp-config.php<\/em> en controleer of de databasenaam, gebruikersnaam, het wachtwoord en de host (meestal localhost) overeenkomen met de gegevens in uw hostingcontrolepaneel. Een recente migratie of wachtwoordwijziging is de meest voorkomende oorzaak van een afwijking.<\/p>\n<h2>Stap 2: Controleer de toegangsrechten van de databasegebruiker<\/h2>\n<ul>\n<li>Controleer in je configuratiescherm of de databasegebruiker aan de database is toegewezen.<\/li>\n<li>Controleer of de gebruiker over de juiste rechten beschikt.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2>Stap 3: Controleer de database zelf<\/h2>\n<p>Open phpMyAdmin en controleer of de database bestaat en tabellen bevat. Soms moet een database worden hersteld; WordPress kan dit proberen als je de herstelmodus inschakelt.<\/p>\n<h2>Stap 4: Sluit een serverprobleem uit<\/h2>\n<p>Als de inloggegevens correct zijn en het nog steeds niet lukt, kan het zijn dat de databaseserver tijdelijk overbelast is of niet beschikbaar is. Wacht een paar minuten en probeer het opnieuw, en controleer of andere sites op het account hier ook last van hebben.<\/p>\n<h2>Overzicht van probleemoplossing<\/h2>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Na een migratie:<\/strong> Pas de inloggegevens aan in wp-config.php.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Plotseling geen veranderingen:<\/strong> Waarschijnlijk een tijdelijk serverprobleem; probeer het straks nog eens.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Beschadigde database:<\/strong> Probeer de herstelmodus van WordPress eens.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2>Hulp nodig?<\/h2>\n<p>Mocht de fout blijven optreden, dan kan ons ondersteuningsteam via de livechat de database en de server voor u controleren.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>&#8220;Error establishing a database connection&#8221; means WordPress cannot reach its database.
