I work on a number of WordPress related websites and setup a development website that I use purely for testing. So when I use a new theme…which I’ve been doing quite regularly with the Tesla Themes<\/a>, I need to rebuild the WordPress website. What I mean by rebuild, its to delete all the post, pages, and settings so that it’s back to the defaults. I need to do this so that I can import data from the Tesla theme Import tool so I can get an idea of how the theme looks like and how it’s setup. \u00a0That’s one of the advantages of using the Tesla Theme as there is an import tool for each theme that downloads and imports posts images and settings to your WordPress site.<\/p>\n

WORDPRESS PLUGIN<\/h2>\n
After testing a number of WordPress plugins, which WordPress plugin did I use to reset my test website?<\/p>\n
The plugin is called WordPress Reset<\/a>. It was last updated in 2013 however testing it with WordPress v4.2.2 worked without any issues. There were other tools that just bulk deleted or nuked posts, but this one was the best for deleting everything.<\/p>\n
To install it simply follow these instructions:<\/p>\n
\n
Login to your WordPress site.<\/li>\n
Click on Add New<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
$\"WordPress$ <\/a><\/p>\n
\n
Type in “WordPress Reset” in the search box on the top right-hand corner and press enter<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
$\"Search$ <\/a><\/p>\n
You will get the following screen and press Install Now<\/p>\n
$\"WordPress$ <\/a><\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Click on Installed Plugins on the left hand side<\/p>\n
$\"WordPress$ <\/a><\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Scroll Down to WordPress reset and click on the activate button<\/p>\n
$\"WordPress$ <\/a><\/p>\n
Click on Tools and then Reset<\/p>\n
$\"WordPress$ <\/a><\/p>\n
You will then need to type in the word reset in the field box and press the reset button.<\/p>\n
$\"WordPress$ <\/a><\/p>\n
You will then be taken to the dashboard and use the same login and password. That’s it, your site is now reset. $\"WordPress$ <\/a><\/p>\n
