This default error page may show a little bit of info about your file structures. So, WordPress 2.3.2, the latest version of the popular blogging platform allows you to define a custom database error page. It is a small but important feature in WordPress. It will also help you to give a personal touch to your database error page!

Well, that’s sounds good, but how to add this custom error page to my existing blog? It is very simple. Just follow the following steps and within a few minutes your custom database error page is ready!

• Create a simple page with your custom database error message. You may write something like “Oops! we have encountered a database error. Please check back later. Thanks”. You can use any HTML editor or a simple text editor to create this page.

• Save the file as ‘db-error.php’. It is important. If you are using a text editor like notepad, then also save the file with .php extension.
