I was working on the Convert Custom Post Listing Template lesson, at the end of the lesson I saw that the wordpress wasn't displaying the projects like in the video, I thought I may have missed some files so I copied the files from the site and pasted them into the folder. Well now it says it can't connect to the database, I did a file restore to before I pasted the files into the folder and still the same error of not connecting to the database. The previous project of mikes shirts still displays but not the Alliison Grayce blog. Any suggestions would be great, I'm just very disappointed I got this far into the project but I can't go back or forward.

9,501 PointsThought I would look at the wp-config file to see if anything was changed, it was. I tried changing it back but I still get the same results.
define('DB_NAME', '');
/** MySQL database username */ define('DB_USER', 'aevans27');
/** MySQL database password */ define('DB_PASSWORD', '');
/** MySQL hostname */ define('DB_HOST', 'localhost');
/** Database Charset to use in creating database tables. */ define('DB_CHARSET', 'utf8');
/** The Database Collate type. Don't change this if in doubt. */ define('DB_COLLATE', '');
