Description

ZeroState is a secure plugin that lets admins reset or selectively reset their WordPress site to a fresh “zero state.” 🚀

Key Features

  • Full Site Reset 🗑️: Completely reset your WordPress site. This deletes all posts, pages, comments, media (database entries and files in uploads), plugins, themes, and custom database tables. Your current admin account, core WordPress files are preserved.
  • Partial Reset Tools (PREMIUM FEATURES) 🔧:
    • Delete Transients: Removes all transient database entries (temporary cache). 🕒
    • Reset Theme Options: Resets theme customizations made via the Customizer (theme mods). 🎨
    • Delete Inactive Themes: Deletes all themes. 🖼️

Frequently Asked Questions

What does the Full Site Reset do? ❓

The Full Site Reset deletes all site content (posts, pages, comments), media library entries and files, custom database tables, and deactivates/deletes plugins and themes. It aims to return your site to a state similar to a fresh WordPress installation but preserves:
* Your current administrator account (login, password, email).
* Core WordPress files and directories.
* Your wp-config.php file.
* The default WordPress theme (e.g., Twenty Twenty-Four).
* The ZeroState plugin itself.
* The .htaccess file (unless specifically deleted using the partial tool).

Is the reset reversible? 🚫

No, all reset actions performed by ZeroState are irreversible. There is no undo button. This is why backing up your site before using the plugin is extremely important.

What are transients, and is it safe to delete them? 🕒

Transients are a form of temporary data storage (caching) used by WordPress and plugins. Deleting them is generally safe and can sometimes resolve issues caused by outdated cached data. WordPress and plugins will regenerate them as needed.

Can I reset only specific parts of my site? 🔧

Yes, the Partial Reset Tools are designed for this. You can target specific components like inactive themes, inactive plugins, the uploads folder, theme options, transients, custom database tables, or the .htaccess file without affecting the entire site (premium Feature).

What happens to my admin account during a Full Site Reset? 👤

Your current administrator account (the one performing the reset) is preserved. You will remain logged in, and your username, password, and email will not be changed.

Which files and folders are deleted during a Full Site Reset?

  • Database: All core WordPress content tables are dropped and recreated (posts, terms, comments, etc.). Custom tables are dropped. Options are reset to default, with some key site settings (like site URL, admin user) preserved.
