CleanUp WP helps you quickly set up a fresh WordPress installation by removing default content, configuring sensible defaults, and enabling performance optimizations.
Why use CleanUp WP?
Every new WordPress installation comes with demo content you don’t need: “Hello World” post, sample pages, default comments, and bundled plugins like Hello Dolly and Akismet. Manually cleaning this up takes time.
CleanUp WP handles all of this with a single click, plus offers toggleable performance and security optimizations that you can enable or disable at any time.
Cleanup Tab (One-time tasks)
These tasks run once and get marked as done:
<ul>
<li>Delete “Hello World” post</li>
<li>Delete “Sample Page”</li>
<li>Delete “Privacy Policy” page</li>
<li>Delete default comment</li>
<li>Delete Hello Dolly & Akismet plugins</li>
<li>Delete unused themes (keeps active + parent)</li>
<li>Clear widget areas</li>
<li>Create main navigation menu</li>
<li>Set pretty permalinks (/%postname%/)</li>
<li>Disable comments by default</li>
<li>Rename “Uncategorized” to “News”</li>

<li>Organize uploads by year/month</li>
<li>Set default image link to “None”</li>
<li>Discourage search engine indexing</li>
<li>Set timezone</li>
<li>Create static homepage</li>
</ul>
Optimize Tab (Toggleable)
These can be turned ON or OFF at any time:

Fresh Install Assistant (FIA) is a WordPress plugin designed to streamline the initial setup process of new WordPress installations. It automates common cleanup tasks, creates essential pages, and optionally installs popular themes, significantly reducing the time needed to prepare a fresh WordPress site for development or production.
<h4>What This Plugin Does</h4>
Essential Cleanup (8 tasks): 
* Removes the default “Hello World” post 
* Removes the default “Sample Page” 
* Changes the name and slug of “Uncategorized” category to “Blog” 
* Sets the permalink structure to /%postname%/ 
* Removes “Hello Dolly” plugin 
* Removes “Akismet” plugin 
* Disables comments and pingbacks site-wide 
* Hides dashboard widgets (Quick Draft, At a Glance, Activity, etc.)
Initial Site Setup (5 tasks): 
* Sets custom site title and tagline 
* Creates starter pages: Home, Services, About, Contact, and Blog 
* Sets the Home page as the front page 
* Sets the Blog page as the posts page (optional) 
* Creates a main navigation menu with these pages
Theme Installation (Optional): 
Choose to install and activate one of these popular themes: 
* Astra 
* GeneratePress 
* OceanWP 
* Blocksy 
* Neve 
* Hello Elementor 
* Kadence
<h4>Smart Detection</h4>
The plugin intelligently checks before making changes: 
* Verifies if default posts/pages exist before attempting deletion 
* Checks if plugins are present before removal 
* Detects if pages already exist before creation 
* Confirms current settings before making updates
This prevents errors and provides clear feedback about what actions were actually necessary.
<h4>How It Works</h4>
<ol>
<li>Activation: Upon plugin activation, you’ll be automatically redirected to the setup page</li>
<li>Configuration: Select which tasks you want to perform (all are selected by default)</li>
<li>Execution: Click “Run Setup” to start the automated process</li>
<li>Results: View detailed results showing completed, skipped, and failed tasks</li>
<li>Auto-deactivation: The plugin automatically deactivates itself after successful completion</li>
</ol>
<h4>Perfect For</h4>
<ul>
<li>Developers who frequently set up new WordPress installations</li>
<li>Agencies managing multiple client sites</li>
<li>Anyone wanting to quickly clean up and configure a fresh WordPress installation</li>
</ul>
