Reset database

This will completely clear your database, just like when you first started your WordPress, but without the tedious steps involved in the famous 5-minute setup. There’s no need to fill in the Site title, Username, Password, Email, Database host, or Table Prefix again. We already have this information, so we just simplify it for you by skipping the boring part.

Keep admins

If you have more than one admin, you can choose which one to keep. We will always save the account you are currently logged into.

In this example “Dev” is super user and you can decide if you want to keep additional admins as well (Arshad, Marko, Osama).

Delete content

If you have plugins and a theme set up, and have uploaded your files (like images and videos), you also have the option to delete only the pages, posts, and taxonomies.

Tables that will be cleared with this option:

  • Posts
  • Post meta
  • Comments
  • Comment meta
  • Term meta
  • Terms
  • Term relationships
  • Term Taxonomy

Empty wp-content folders

Everything under the /wp-content/ directory will be cleaned up.

This includes your uploads folder, where WordPress stores files from the media library. Additionally, migration and backup plugins, which create their own folders under /wp-content/, will also have their contents removed.

Note: Although the Plugins and Themes folders are located under /wp-content/, this feature will not remove anything from these two folders.

Delete all plugins

This feature will remove all the plugins (Active and Disabled) form the plugins folder keeping DevKit Plugin safe and active.

Delete all theme

This feature will remove all the themes. Even the active one.

Reset unlock

To enable the reset of your WordPress installation, we’ve added a safe input area. You need to type “RESET” (it’s not case-sensitive) to activate the reset option. Once you type “RESET,” a reset button will be displayed.

Reset Safe List

We have introduced this feature so you can decide what to keep in the database when resetting it. Often, during testing, you may want to reset all plugin data, but sometimes you have premium plugins in your setup. And who in their right mind would want to enter license keys for multiple plugins every time they reset?

Add options

In the add option input field, start typing table options. Once you type 3 or more characters, the list will become visible.
