Connection error

    I have filled in all the necessary Joomla database parameters, but then I get this message:
    SQLSTATE[HY000] [1045] Access denied for user ‘xxxx’@’localhost’ (using password: YES)

    When I check the faq the solution refers to a non existing url:
    It is a compatibility issue with your version of MySQL.
    You can read this post to fix it: https://forumsarchive.laravel.io/viewtopic.php?id=8667

    How do I fix this issue so that I can import Joomla into WordPress? I have no Control Panel, only FTP.
    Note: the Joomla website is not on the same server as the WordPress website.

    Thanks in advance.

    If Joomla and WordPress are not installed on the same host, you must do this:

    • export the Joomla database to a SQL file (with phpMyAdmin for example)
    • import this SQL file on the same database as WordPress
    • run the migration by using WordPress database credentials (host, user, password, database) instead of the Joomla ones in the plugin settings. You can find the WordPress credentials in the wp-config.php file.
