Mihai Apetrei Supporter Languages: English (English ) Timezone: Europe/Bucharest (GMT+02:00)	Hi and thank you for contacting WPML Support! I will be happy to help you with this. I just tested your website and it loads up just fine for me. I will also attach a screenshot below. That error is the default WordPress error when the platform can't connect to the database. Usually, it is a short time error that's related to the site's hosting most of the time and I think that you might have been seeing that for a couple of minutes. Also, make sure that you are not seeing a cached version of your site so make sure that you visit it from an incognito browser window. Please let me know if it shows up good for you, too. I will be waiting for your response. Kind regards, Mihai Screen Shot 2018-10-17 at 19.03.03.png
