 * Can anyone tell me why I would be getting a Db error when I click on my links.
   I tried all the activating and .htaccess tips but nothing is working. Here is
   the error I am seeing:
 * Database error: connect(localhost, brianmc9_w42day, $Password) failed.
    MySQL
   Error: () Session halted.
 * Has to do with my password but I can find anything in Affiliate links about a
   password for my DB.
 * Thoughts?

 * Hi Brian,
 * Doesn’t seem to be something that is related to our plugin, we don’t do any database
   connection or anything like that during link redirection.
 * I would check your site for malware using something like Wordfence and double
   check the rest of your site to ensure things are operating normally.
 * You could also try re-installing ThirstyAffiliates.
 * Other than that, try disabling all other plugins, switch to one of the default
   themes like TwentyFifteen and see if the problem goes away. Then re-activate 
   one by one till the problem reappears.
 * Hope some of this might help narrow down the issue!
 * Cheers,
    Josh

 * Hey Josh,
 * Deactivated and deleted but it still did the same thing. When I deleted it thought
   and re-installed it it gave me my orginal links back. Anyway to a fresh copy?

 * Never mind… just looked at the compatibility chart and I am 4.3 which is not 
   tested yet. looks like there is may an issue there for 4.3. Unless you people
   that are using WP 4.3.
