It may be that you have a website that tests everything, or you are setting up a website and are completely in the knot.
In these situations, you often come to a point where you want to remove and reinstall WordPress, but did you know that it is also possible to reset only the WordPress database?
Resetting a website costs less time and the effect is the same. You have a clean WordPress installation and can take a fresh start. In this article, you can read how to reset a WordPress website with the click of a button.
WordPress Database Reset plugin
The only thing that this plugin does is give you the opportunity to completely erase all information and adjustments contained in the database. Since all of WordPress is stored in the database (except for files and images), make sure you have a whole new installation.
Once you have installed and activated the plugin you can go to "Extra -> Database Reset". You will see the following:
Here you can simply select "Select all" to delete all tables from the database or indicate in the drop-down menu which tables you would like to delete.
When you clear all the tables, your installation will be brand new. However, if you just want to reset some things like all settings, comments, or posts and posts, you can also choose one individually.
Tip: Whatever you do, the only thing left in the database next to the default settings is your own user account. However, I once heard that someone was wrong while resetting and that the user also disappeared. To make sure that your user is 100% sure, you can skip the "Users" table and not reset.
Resetting WordPress database
Once you have chosen which tables to reset you do not have to do much more. Only when you want to delete the "Options" table will you get an additional option, that you should choose whether to reactivate the current theme and plugins after resetting your WordPress website.
Once you have made your choice or when you have selected other tables to reset, you can proceed to the final step.
You only have to fill in the security code and then click on the "Reset Tables" button.
When you click on it, you will be asked once to make sure you want to continue. Click on "Ok" if you are sure and your database tables are reset.
You did it. All settings and adjustments you made to your website have been deleted. You can now start a fresh start with your new WordPress installation.
