Frequently Asked Questions

Common questions about WP Database Reset

Add define( 'REACTIVATE_WP_RESET', true ); to wp-config.php above /* That's all, stop editing! Happy blogging. */

Add an array called $reactivate_wp_reset_additional to the global scope by placing it in wp-config.php above /* That's all, stop editing! Happy blogging. */ that contains the plugin basenames of the plugins to activate, such as: $reactivate_wp_reset_additional = array( 'hello.php', 'akismet/akismet.php' );

Yes! For SQLite databases, the plugin will delete the database file and redirect you to the WordPress installation screen. This means you'll need to set up WordPress from scratch after the reset, unlike MySQL/MariaDB installations where your admin user is automatically recreated.
