WP Dropin: Better db-error.php

This db-error.php dropin enhances default "Database connection error page".

It gives better connection error debugging for administrator when using wp-cli.
It shows nice error message for end users.
It returns 503 Service not available status code instead of 200 OK
It shows database connection debugging to frontend when WP_DEBUG is used.

Project Goals

The error message page is currently only in Finnish but we have plans for adding other languages as well.

Installation

You can copy db-error.php to your wp-content folder. Just plug&play.

OR you can use composer so that you can automatically update it too. Put these in your composer.json:

{
    "require": {
        "devgeniem/better-wp-db-error": "^0.1"
    },
    "extra": {
        "dropin-paths": {
            "htdocs/wp-content/": ["type:wordpress-dropin"],
        }
    }
}
