Customize WordPress Database Connection Error Page
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:
<?php
header('HTTP/1.1 503 Service Temporarily Unavailable');
header('Status: 503 Service Temporarily Unavailable');
header('Retry-After: 3600'); // 1 hour = 3600 seconds
?>
