Advanced WordPress Reset Pro

Advanced WordPress Reset Pro gives developers and site owners controls for resetting, troubleshooting, testing, and maintaining WordPress environments. Choose a reset scope or target specific website components, then use saved collections, scheduling, database snapshots, and WP Switcher as needed.

Reset scope and retained data

Site Reset

Site Reset removes pages, posts, comments, custom tables, and visitors other than the current administrator. It keeps the administrator, documents and uploads, themes and child themes, add-ons, basic WordPress options, and non-WordPress database tables. Use this scope to clear site content while retaining the existing media and setup.

Nuclear Reset

This Pro capability removes almost everything, including files, custom settings, and database tables. It keeps the current user, this add-on's files and data, and non-WordPress database tables.

Custom Reset

Choose which themes and extensions to activate, deactivate, or delete, which users to retain, and what blog information to set after the reset. You can leave individual elements unchanged and save your choices as a reusable custom reset.

Partial utilities and scheduled collections

The 37 partial reset tools target selected parts of a site without resetting the whole environment. Examples include clearing the uploads folder, removing themes or plugins, resetting parts of wp-content, and deleting comments, pingbacks, or trackbacks.

Group selected tools into a Collection and run them together with one click. Collections can be used for partial resets, cleanup, or optimization. Automation and scheduling let you choose when and how often a collection runs, which can help with recurring maintenance or demonstration-site resets.

Database snapshots and version testing

Snapshots save full copies of the database that you can restore to return database data to an earlier state. They may also help restore a damaged or hacked database. Snapshots do not include site files, so they do not replace file backups. Create one before a risky reset if you may need to restore the database.

WP Switcher is a Pro feature for plugin and theme compatibility testing. It lets you change the WordPress version with one click, including upgrading or downgrading an existing version, so you can check how a project behaves across versions.

Installation and use

Install and activate the plugin, then open Dashboard > Tools > Advanced WP Reset. Select a reset scope or tools, review the selected actions, and save custom resets or collections for reuse where helpful. The plugin supports single-site installations; multisite and WP-CLI are not supported.
