We are going to learn how to customize WordPress database connection error page.

We can do it in a very simple way. Let’s start:

Create Error Page

Go to wp-content folder and create a file named “db-error.php“.

Now open the db-error.php file and paste your HTML template here. WordPress will automatically detect this page and will display.

Demo Template

Here is a demo template. You can use this template:

db-error.php

<?php
header('HTTP/1.1 503 Service Temporarily Unavailable');
header('Status: 503 Service Temporarily Unavailable');
header('Retry-After: 3600'); // 1 hour = 3600 seconds
?>
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html lang="en">
<head>
    <meta charset="utf-8">
    <meta http-equiv="X-UA-Compatible" content="IE=edge">
    <meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width, initial-scale=1">

    </style>

<body>
<div id="notfound">
    <div class="notfound">
        <div class="notfound-404">
            <h1>503</h1>

        <h2>Under Maintenance</h2>
