Project Goals ------------- [](#project-goals) The error message page is **currently only in Finnish** but we have plans for adding other languages as well. Installation ------------ [](#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"], } } } ``` Screenshots ----------- [](#screenshots) Output from terminal: [![Generated Error output in command line with wp-cli](https://cloud.githubusercontent.com/assets/5691777/16680986/dd3fdcb6-44fa-11e6-9f46-5225412915cb.png)](https://cloud.githubusercontent.com/assets/5691777/16680986/dd3fdcb6-44fa-11e6-9f46-5225412915cb.png) Error Page showed to site visitors: [![Error page to site visitors (in Finnish)](https://cloud.githubusercontent.com/assets/5691777/16680985/dd1d7e28-44fa-11e6-9113-b6374a3835a1.png)](https://cloud.githubusercontent.com/assets/5691777/16680985/dd1d7e28-44fa-11e6-9113-b6374a3835a1.png) Credits ------- [](#credits) We used [alexphelps/server-error-pages](http://alexphelps.github.io/server-error-pages/) as base for this.
