Yeah, I tried reinstalling it multiple and also doing load command, at one point it showed an error like this:
[SM] Exception reported: Invalid database Handle 0 (error: 4)
[SM] Blaming: tVip.smx]
But then I fixed that and it did not show any more.
And there was no new error since that.

Do you have access to the server console?
You might not be looking in the right place for the errors.
What exactly do you get when running rcon sm plugins reload tvip ?

It only tells me that the plugin is already loaded in the server console, and then I try to use the commands and nothing happens, it says in the in-game console "Running command as if it was a variable." or something like that when I try to use the commands

Sounds like you are running

rcon sm plugins load tvip

instead of

rcon sm plugins reload tvip

Okay, I will try that later, since I am currently not able to, I will get back to you when I have tried it, thank you!

Just tried it and I got this in console:

Dec  9 22:27:50:  sm plugins reload tvip
Dec  9 22:27:50:  [SM] Plugin tvip.smx is not loaded.

And when just trying to load it, I get this now:

Dec  9 22:28:44:  sm plugins load tvip
Dec  9 22:28:44:  [SM] Plugin tvip.smx failed to load: Unable to open file.

sm plugins reload tVip

Done it, and it says this in the error log:

[SM] Exception reported: Invalid database Handle 0 (error: 4)

Even though I've checked multiple times and it is the correct database in the database.cfg
Here you can see it:

"tVip"
	{
	"driver" 		"mysql"
	"host" 			"*******"
	"database" 		"tvip"
	"user" 			"*****"
	"pass" 			"*****"
	//"port"          "3306"
}

I even tried to get help from a former CS:GO community owner, who also was using this plugin, but he was not able to help me fix the issue either.

Try connecting to your database using HeidiSQL, to see if it works.
Also check if you're missing a '{' in your database.cfg or you have an extra " etc, those are common issues.

Alright, I will try that tomorrow, I really appreciate the help.
