Error establishing a connection to the database

Other Information

Hello,

I am having a database connection problem with my WordPress website hosted on InfinityFree.

Website: diwagamesdownloads.com
CMS: WordPress
Hosting: InfinityFree
Database: MySQL
DNS/CDN: Cloudflare

The exact error shown on my website is:
“Error establishing a connection to the database”

The website is currently unable to connect to the database properly.

I would like to know whether this problem is caused by the database server, database credentials, database user permissions, or my WordPress configuration.

Please help me identify the cause and provide the steps to fix it.

I can provide screenshots or additional non-sensitive configuration information if required.

Thank you.
