    We have an annual subscription and I am getting the ‘ error establishing a database connection ‘ Please let me know what needs to be done to get access back to our site.

    The site I need help with is maverickkookers.com. It is not hosted by WordPress.com or connected with Jetpack. This site is not linked to my WordPress.com account.

    Hi there,

    The site maverickkookers.com appears to be a self-hosted WordPress (also called “.org”) site hosted on Launchpad (HostGator) Web Hosting, and not a site hosted on our WordPress.com service.

    You can confirm here: https://gwhois.org/maverickkookers.com+dns

    To clarify, we are not the only providers of WordPress sites, and other hosting companies also happen to offer WordPress sites, but they use a different version of the platform than what we use here. Because of this we are not able to help with your issue as it lies outside of our system. See http://support.wordpress.com/com-vs-org/ for more info.

    You can find support for your self-hosted WordPress site here: https://wordpress.org/support/forums/

    You may also wish to contact your host’s support team for more assistance.

    Hope that points you in the right direction!
