# Error in database connection

 * I’ve had my WordPress site for quite a few years & have never needed to do anything
   with it, so don’t touch anything related to it basically. Which is why I’m lost
   about this error message as I’ve changed nothing nor touched the config files
   etc. The only changes ever made to the site (apart from content obviously) are
   by WordPress updates, hence I’m wondering whether this issue might be related
   to the latest one. I only update the site 3-4-weekly sometimes less, so unsure
   when the issue arose initially.
 * So I just wanted to check here if it’s likely to be the case regarding the update
   and/or how to best try maybe reinstalling if the need arises unless there’s any
   easier fixes?
 * The page I need help with: _[[log in](https://login.wordpress.org/?redirect_to=https%3A%2F%2Fwordpress.org%2Fsupport%2Ftopic%2Ferror-in-database-connection-7%2F%3Foutput_format%3Dmd&locale=en_US)
   to see the link]_

 * You should first contact the support of your hoster. Maybe the access for the
   database has changed or something has failed.

 * Yeh I had wondered about that – just wanted to make sure it wasn’t something 
   else before I bothered them.
 * Thanks 🙂
