 * Hi there! I was tasked to migrate a clients site from WPEngine to cPanel and 
   stumbled across this issue. I was messing with the databases and deleted it. 
   Luckily, I had backups and just restored the database but now it keeps telling
   me it “Can’t select database”.
 * I didn’t touch anything else so I’m assuming there is a step I missed somewhere
   along the line.
 * Thanks!
