  Hello :-) The DB connection error message indicates that the DB connection parameters specified in the configuration file (wp_config.php) are incorrect. You need to either change the db password to the one specified in the configuration file or change the login details given in the configuration file to the actual db login credentials to fix it. You need to contact the host to resolve the issue related with the error "The MySQL server is currently offline."

  Hello, Your access level is defined as "Website Owner", suggesting a lack of root access to the system. I suggest reporting the issue to your web hosting provider so they can take a closer look and determine why MySQL is not working as expected. Thank you.
