<h4>Site Reset</h4>
This is the most commonly used website Reset option as it preserves your data and focuses the Reset on the database and its content.
Elements that are removed are:
<ul>
<li>Pages, Posts and Comments</li>
<li>Custom tables</li>
<li>Users (except the current admin user)</li>
<li>After the Reset, the following will remain untouched:</li>
</ul>
Elements that are kept are:
<ul>
<li>The current admin user</li>
<li>Files, Uploads, Themes, Child themes, Plugins, etc.</li>
<li>Basic WP settings like Site title, WP address, Site address, Time zone & Language</li>
<li>Non-WordPress Database Tables</li>
</ul>
Site Reset is the ideal way to start over fresh without having to re-upload all your images & videos, reconfigure user access, reinstall themes and plugins…
<h4>Nuclear Reset (Pro feature)</h4>
Choose this option for a total reboot. This in-depth reset removes almost everything, from files to custom settings and database tables. It’s the closest you’ll get to a fresh WordPress install without the hassle.
The only things that are kept after a Nuclear Reset are:
<ul>
<li>The current user for you to log in</li>
<li>This plugin’s files and data</li>
<li>Non-WordPress Database Tables</li>
</ul>
<h4>Custom Reset (Pro feature)</h4>
If none of the above “out of the box” options fits your needs, try the Custom Reset option for even more control and flexibility. Set exactly what you want to reset and what you want to keep untouched:
<ul>
<li>Choose which themes to activate, deactivate, or delete after the Reset</li>
<li>Choose which plugins to activate, deactivate, or delete after the Reset</li>
<li>Decide which users to keep after the Reset</li>
<li>Customize your blog info after the reset</li>
<li>You can also choose to keep things are they are for each element</li>
</ul>
Once you’re happy with your choices, you can save your preferences in a Custom reset for easy later use. Repeat this process as needed, and you’ll end up with your very own library of tailored Resets!
As you can see, the Custom Reset feature provides you with full control over your Reset process.
In addition to the 3 core options above, we also have numerous individual reset tools that can be used to conduct laser-targeted partial resets of specific parts of your WordPress site.
For instance, you could choose to exclusively reset your menus and widgets while leaving the rest untouched.
<h3>Tools & Collections for Partial Resets and Beyond</h3>
The Tools section is an extension of the 3 main Reset options above that enables you to perform laser-targeted and custom partial Resets.
With an extensive library of Tools, you can have the most precise and granular control over what you want to reset using specific tools:
<ul>
<li>Reset the ‘uploads’ folder (/wp-content/uploads) by deleting all its content. This includes images, videos, music, documents, subfolders, etc.</li>
<li>Reset Themes by deleting all themes (the plugin uses WordPress core functions to delete themes). You can keep the currently active theme or delete it as well</li>
<li>Delete all plugins (the plugin will deactivate them first then uninstall them using WordPress core functions)</li>
<li>Reset “wp-content” folder. All files and folders inside ‘/wp-content’ directory will be deleted and reset, except ‘index.php’ and the following folders: ‘plugins’, ‘themes’, ‘uploads’, and ‘mu-plugins’</li>
<li>Delete Must-use plugins. All MU plugins in ‘/wp-content/mu-plugins’ will be deleted. These are plugins that cannot be disabled except by removing their files from the must-use directory</li>
<li>Delete “.htaccess” file. This is a critical WordPress core file used to enable or disable features of websites hosted on Apache. In some cases, you may need to delete it to do some tests</li>
<li>Delete all comments. All types of comments including published, pending, spam, trashed… will be deleted. Comments meta will also be deleted</li>
<li>Delete pingbacks. Pingbacks allow you to notify other website owners that you have linked to their article on your website</li>
<li>Delete trackbacks. Although there are some minor technical differences, a trackback is the same thing as a pingback</li>
<li>…</li>
</ul>
The above Tools can also be used to clean up and optimize a WordPress site in order to save disk space, improve performance, or simply reduce security risks by getting rid of unsafe plugins, themes, and files. the possibilities are endless and the only limit is your creativity!
To enable such advanced creative use cases, the Pro version of Advanced WordPress Reset lets you build Collections of tools where you can pick and choose the tools you want to include in a collection. Once a collection is built and saved, you will be able to run all the tools it contains with a single click of the mouse saving you valuable time and hassle.
To take things even further and empower our power users, the Pro version of the plugin has powerful automation and scheduling features that let you choose the time and frequency at which a collection is executed automatically by the system without the need for you to log in and run it manually.
<iframe loading="lazy" class="youtube-player" width="750" height="422" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/aVJrKj9plpQ?version=3&rel=1&showsearch=0&showinfo=1&iv_load_policy=1&fs=1&hl=en-US&autohide=2&wmode=transparent" allowfullscreen="true" style="border:0;" sandbox="allow-scripts allow-same-origin allow-popups allow-presentation allow-popups-to-escape-sandbox"></iframe>
Whether it is a custom Partial Reset Collection, Cleanup Collection, or Optimization Collection… you’ll be able to automate and schedule its execution with unparalleled ease and control.
When used together, Collections and Scheduling become powerful tools to improve productivity and save time on repetitive yet essential tasks like maintenance or recurring environment resets. We’ve listed a few real-world use cases below for your reference.
<h3>Snapshots and Restoration to the Rescue</h3>
Because Resets perform critical actions on your database and contents with potentially catastrophic consequences on your site, it was imperative to include additional safety mechanisms you could resort to if need be.
Snapshots are a simple yet powerful way of taking full copies of your database to provide you with an invaluable safety net in case things go south. Simply restore your snapshot and you should be good to go.
<iframe loading="lazy" class="youtube-player" width="750" height="422" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/G3E9LbLa3QI?version=3&rel=1&showsearch=0&showinfo=1&iv_load_policy=1&fs=1&hl=en-US&autohide=2&wmode=transparent" allowfullscreen="true" style="border:0;" sandbox="allow-scripts allow-same-origin allow-popups allow-presentation allow-popups-to-escape-sandbox"></iframe>
In other words, Snapshots create an undo button for Resets as far as database data is concerned. That’s why we highly recommend that you systematically take a snapshot of your site’s database before any Reset.
In fact, it’s always a good idea to take multiple snapshots at different points in time so you can have more than one option if you need to revert to a previous state of your site.
Since snapshots are similar in a way to backups, they can also be used to restore a hacked or damaged database. However, please understand that Snapshots DO NOT replace backups as they don’t save a copy of your files. We thus recommend you use one of the numerous backup tools available.
Even though taking a snapshot is free, quick and easy, our users are sometimes too busy or simply forget to do so. That’s why the plugin comes with a powerful scheduling Pro feature that automates the whole process for you. Just choose the options that best suit your needs and the system will take care of the rest for you.
<h3>WP Switcher for in-depth compatibility Testing (Pro feature)</h3>
Plugin and Theme developers rely on our plugin to speed up their tests and troubleshoot their creations. However, such tests are only as good as the version they are run on.
With WP Switcher, a unique feature in Advanced WordPress Reset, we make switching from one WordPress version to another a breeze! Now, you can truly ensure the compatibility of your plugin or theme across different WordPress versions by proactively detecting and addressing any version-specific issues.
WP Switcher offers a convenient one-click feature for changing versions, making it effortless to upgrade or downgrade your existing WordPress version.
<iframe loading="lazy" class="youtube-player" width="750" height="422" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/UjE6kDUJj5E?version=3&rel=1&showsearch=0&showinfo=1&iv_load_policy=1&fs=1&hl=en-US&autohide=2&wmode=transparent" allowfullscreen="true" style="border:0;" sandbox="allow-scripts allow-same-origin allow-popups allow-presentation allow-popups-to-escape-sandbox"></iframe>
By utilizing the power of WP Switcher, you can expedite your testing workflow, making sure your projects operate flawlessly across all relevant WordPress versions.

Using Advanced WordPress Reset, you can venture into creative explorations of themes and layouts without the fear of leaving traces behind or having to do things over countless times.

Hacked site Recovery: Picture this: It’s 6 a.m., and you are woken up by a frantic client reporting a site outage or worse, a ransom message on their homepage. With a sense of urgency, you navigate to the backend to locate the latest snapshot and swiftly restore it with a few clicks. Just like that, the site is back to normal, and you dial the client with reassuring news. As a developer or webmaster, you are well aware that attacks and technical glitches are much more frequent than we think, that’s why you had enabled the auto snapshot feature of advanced WordPress reset and scheduled it for run daily. While snapshots are not as comprehensive as backups, they are more reliable, faster to create, and take up less disk space making them a great alternative to backups.

This will help you quickly identify the root cause of the performance slump. Once the root cause is known, you can undo your actions and focus your efforts on fixing the exact problem causing the performance degradation. In this scenario, the smart combination of Resets and Snapshot restoration makes for a perfect toolset for performance benchmarking and troubleshooting.
WordPress Update Rollback: Like most WordPress users, it’s hard to resist that update WordPress button. However, it’s not uncommon for an update to break something in your site. Unfortunately, once that happens, your choices are limited as there is no cancel update button! You can either spend hours trying to identify the cause and fix it or restore a full backup of the site if you have one. With WP Switcher, you now have one more option, downgrading your WordPress version until you find a working version.
