How To Fix a WordPress Database Connection Error

(Edited 10/19/2020)
So you updated Essential Add-ons for Elementor and your site just Borked (Broke) all which ways. CSS Slammed to the left side of the Page, One Module you used on half of the site is now just all over in the Template Box you put it in, or worse the whole site won’t load at all and you don’t have a backup. Well… You are in some luck as you have some things to try here. Never do we say things are over until we say they are, right! There’s always Help For WordPress on Help4WordPress.com too.
You will first want to go into your WordPress Dashboard and navigate like this WordPress Dashboard -> Essential Add-ons -> Tools -> JS Print Method ‘External File’ -> Save Settings. After this, I would suggest click Regenerate Assets just for good measure.
If that didn’t work then make sure you cleared the cache of your Content Delivery Network and also any Cache Plugins you have installed on the site. This will ensure all of the regenerating and clearing of internal files you did is cleared from their cache too. Most CDN’s will automatically grab your .js and .css files without any input from you to assist in making your site faster for users. It like most measures to assist in site speed have an inherent downside.
If all else fails then I am betting the people over at https://wpdeveloper.net/ will get you straightened out. If you have a Subscription Plan with https://help4wordpress.com though we will handle it for you and probably already know there is an issue. As we are on your site 24/7 monitoring and surfing through pages to see if errors occur.
*Disclaimer* The Help 4 Network and Help 4 WordPress Receive NO Referral or Paid Promotion for this post. We are just avid users and lovers of Elementor and the Various Plugins like Essential Add-ons for Elementor by WPDeveloper.net. Even when we hate it because it broke on us lol!
So why is it important for me to know what I am looking for in the person or company I get WordPress Help from? First its because your time is worth as much as theirs is. This is something that higher-end developers and designers sometimes forget when handling clients. So make sure they respect your time. Next, ensure they have done other websites or have worked for companies that you have actually heard of and can verify work with. Here at Help 4 WordPress, we have a list of clients that will gladly answer their phone and say they are a proud client of Help 4 WordPress and absolutely love the work we do. So even if it isn’t us make sure the person or agency you work with can do the same. If they can’t, RUN!!!!
Now we also want to make sure that language is not a barrier. That goes both with English Speaking Customers and Non-English. Make sure you and the person or team you hire are completely firing on the same wavelength here. Getting WordPress Help is hard enough when the person you are speaking with doesn’t understand anything you are saying. Doesn’t matter what language you speak, frustration knows no borders. Here at Help 4 WordPress we simply want to help everyone with their WordPress Issues. Even if that means pointing you to one of our competitors or even to a completely different platform than WordPress.
