I am going to set up the wordpress. But I couldn't access to the database systems while setting up wordpress. Mysql server is installed correctly and I can access with username and password in MySQL Workbench and by using console command(mysql -u root -p) both. I also create schema named "wordpress". But can't connect on wordpress. What is the issue? Please help me. Here I attached some images.

    You shouldn't use `root` to access your database from WordPress. Create a different user and give it only the access rights it need for the WordPress schema, and use that in your `wp-config.php file` – Tangentially Perpendicular Jan 26 '23 at 03:36
  • I think create a different user didn't work. I create another user in workbench and tried to use that user but it didn't work. And 'mysql -u root -p' command works well on the console. I think it is not a problem also. – Branch Jan 26 '23 at 10:10
  • Also I have one more question. I used "root" for username and "password" for password for connection in workbench. After connect to the database system, I create another user named branch. And I gave all the permission to that user. What username do I have to use? "branch" or "root"? – Branch Jan 26 '23 at 12:18

To update your database credentials in WordPress, follow these steps:

  1. Copy the content of wp-config-sample.php.

  2. Create a new file named wp-config.php.

  3. Paste the copied content into the new file.

  4. Update the database credentials in wp-config.php.

This should resolve the issue and your updated credentials will work 100%.
