// ** MySQL settings - You can get this info from your web host ** //
/** The name of the database for WordPress */
define('DB_NAME', 'database_name_here');
/** MySQL database username */
define('DB_USER', 'database_username_here');
/** MySQL database password */
define('DB_PASSWORD', 'database_password_here');
/** MySQL hostname */
define('DB_HOST', 'localhost');
