 * Hi,
    I can not understand this problem: my site is online, but if I want to access
   the beckend, see “Can’t select database We were able to connect to the database
   server (which means your username and password is okay) but not able to select
   the ck1j9y4o_wp747 database.”…. I have already seen several times the config.
   php file and that’s fine. there is something wrong permissions? What do you suggest?
   Can you help me please? thank you Margherita

 * This error message generally means The DB_NAME is wrong.

 * Exactly, but instead it is correct. Where can I see this contradiction in the
   database?
