Can’t Select Database
-
Whenever I’ve attempted to log in to my wordpress account through Bluehost, after resetting the site back to the data logged from March 8th, I’m only met with the error:
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 ericmild_WPZCR database.Are you sure it exists?
Does the user ericmild_WPZCR have permission to use the ericmild_WPZCR database?
On some systems the name of your database is prefixed with your username, so it would be like username_ericmild_WPZCR. Could that be the problem?
If you don’t know how to set up a database you should contact your host. If all else fails you may find help at the WordPress Support Forums.I’ve previously had issues regarding the issue that my site apparently runs as a .org rather than a .com, due to a temporary name change under bluehost’s site name thing (https://ericmildner.com –> https://ericmildner.org) .
I can prove I have the domain, and I know for a fact I had ran the site in wordpress.com and got some plugins, but I have no idea how I can’t actually access it from bluehost to wordpress.com

Addendum:
Everything under the Bluehost Portal shows the website is named under
https://ericmildner.com
While WordPress shows the website under the
https://ericmildner.org domainI absolutely, as previously explained, have no hardware nor the software to personally run a server nor website.
I’ve previously purchased my domain and hosting under Bluehost, I don’t know if that also pays for WordPress, but previously was able to use the website builder for the .com address, so I’d assume that it either gave me access from the Bluehost Portal that I shouldn’t have had, or WordPress is wonky with my personal site for an upcoming student portfolio presentation.
