  Hi There!

  I just mapped the domain for ‘uxlmanagement.co.uk’ to my blog below.

  It has given me the error: Error Establishing a database connection

  Do you know what might be wrong?

  THanks!

  Hi David:

  Just checked out your site, uxlmanagement.co.uk , and it loaded appropriately:

  

  Since you just mapped the domain today, my guess is that error was loading while the new DNS settings propagated. It can take up to 72 hours for any DNS changes to take full effect.

  Could you please clear your browser’s cache and cookies, then revisit the page? If you still see the error after that, please make a screenshot and upload that image to your media library so I can take a look.
