Wow, thank you so much!!! My site was a total mess and I was so stressed out. I followed your instructions, reset the whole thing and now I just have the sample page up until until I'm ready to dive in again and actually build the site. By the way I'm so not WordPress savvy, I'm just another entrepreneur on a shoe string budget.
Glad that this video is able to help you! Yes when you're first starting out everything is so new, but you're going to quickly grasp how to get the most out of WordPress. I would suggest you check out some of my more recent videos, I just released a video series that walks you through everything in setting up a WordPress website.
Thank you so much for this!!! I'm a complete newb to wordpress. I'm following along in a book. I got half way into it and decided to reset and start all over again but didn't know how to reset back to default. Most of my "how to" Google searches came up telling me how to do it via code, which I know nothing about. Your video did it for me in 5 minutes!!! I am now a sub and have given you the thumbs up. I know I'll be back again... lots of times!!!
This was extremely helpful. I was losing my mind trying to edit my webpage. It was better and faster to just delete it all and start fresh. You are my website God. Have a wonderful day.
Very useful video, Adam, thank you! I'm just adding couple of tips here: Demo content installation: If you start building a website and trying to install a theme demo content unsuccessfully, you should really first reset your WordPress before retrying demo content installation. That way you make sure you won't get duplicate content. Media files reset: If you want to delete media files, you have to do this BEFORE running any WordPress reset plugin. Otherwise the reset plugin wipes out the database records about your media files, while they are still kept on your server, consuming valuable space. So, just go to Media > Library, select all media files with bulk select and delete them before you proceed with WordPress reset. Mind you, this is irreversible too! ;)
Thank you for pointing out the media library aspect. This is something that I did not cover new video and if I had to do it over again right now I would.
Thanks Adam, you always create valueable contents. I always find it a lot of work deleting database and all that stuff before reinstalling wordpress, now you just made it so much easier for me and for people out there making websites. You are amazing!!!
Thank you so much. I have been pulling my hair out with my wordpress theme and after following this easy to follow no tech talk video I am now back on track.
Again, the most practical information about Wp on TH-cam. You really give us the best of the best, for non-techies, and you present it efficiently. Thanks for this Adam.
I've been an avid subscriber to your vids, Adam, always well done and very informative. I missed this particular tutorial, but glad I finally found it. I've been trying to get a site setup, and I've changed themes and I did this and did that, till finally I've been totally confused, and haven't accomplished anything. I literally have a site filled with a whole lot of nothing. I'm going to reset and start over, and with any "luck" build what I had started out to do. Thank you once again, sir.
Hi Adam, just when I think there's no way out - you have an answer for me (and many others I guess). Thank you, the steps are so easy even us geriatrics can follow with ease, keep moving us forward. Five stars for you. Brian
Keep up the good work man, your videos are nice and clean, good quaility and you speak right. I just found this one, thats a big plus. Plus your little icon of yourself is the perfect size, it doesn't get in the way of what your doing and showing, like others I've seen.
Well, Desiree he did more than that. Perhaps it's a wake-up call for you to become a Cam model instead of wasting your talents. You'll definitely not be crying into your pillow. Lol. I'm kidding I just couldn't resist.
Thank you Adam, you saved me a lot of time. You made it so simple and clear to do this especially people like me do not know much about these things. Thanks again.
Thank you for your help. I do have one question...will this reset do anything to my logins within WordPress or my website? Or will it not go that far, just to start the website-building over?
Thank you for your video. Can I change my general settings? I put something wrong into the Tagline, now the mistake is shown on the google . How can I change it, I did already but google doesn't recognise it . I will be grateful for a help
Great Video! The whole reason i wish to do this is to clean up some bad SEO i practice when i built the site a few years back. Have you any advice on how this will impact on google and SEO? More specifically I choose to restore my website to default what will happen to all the pages created for google SEO will they be removed from listings over time naturally? I hope so :) Any experts out their advice appreciated!
Well,, by mistake I changed some default codes of website in while designing... Will resetting bring those codes back, like those were default in original site at the very first????? Please reply...
Super thankful for this! I am having a really difficult time trying to work with this very cool theme and get our site up and running. Looking forward to starting fresh and seeing if I can figure it out :-)
Hi, Afraid my comment yesterday never made it - In short - Great info! Question. how does one accomplish what you have on this video - we see you talking to us and at the same time see the wordpress site as you walk us thru what to do. Don't know enough to describe this process. How do you do this?
Great info, is there a way just to reset one page of a template? I have worpress and elementor, some how my blog page is not working, the rest is working great
Hi, I already subscribe to your channel.Your video is the very first one easy to use for not technical like me.Thank you very much.Now I can change my website appearance without any problem.I can start with new theme and more.Thanks again.
Hey brother quick question if i could, Say you have had some problems with malware/spam/infected pages/sub pages etc And you wanna just clear everything out to have a clean and safe fresh start, would using this plugin give the same results ? as jumping in Cpanel and deleting all the pages/folders etc. ??? Thanks in Advance
tanks for sharing your knowledge. it been very helpful. have a little issue after i reset all the database.. its not working from that moment .. i get a blank white page with an announcement "sorry u are not allowed to access this page". how can i fix it up ? :O
Hi Adam, great info, thank you. So is your course, great info there as well. BTW, Step 2 is missing the link to mark "Complete". Subscribed to your channel, glad to find you.
Adam, I'm looking forward to your full review of Studiopress. I'm a non-techie that uses the Genesis framework / Studiopress themes / Web Synthesis Hosting and eventually the full Monty that is The Rainmaker Platform. Why? Cause it's bad ass and that's what top bloggers use. Learning curve, yes, but worth it in the long run with powerful tools and great support. NOTE: My biggest issue was hiring a developer who CSS'd his way around my Studiopress theme and mucked it up! Lesson learned..
What I see happening is kind of the opposite. There is a migration away from Studiopress from the top bloggers on the Internet. It just doesn't do the custom things that high-level bloggers want their websites to do. A perfect example of that is with smart passive income, one of the largest blogs on the Internet. They wanted to do the rainmaker platform but it just is not capable of so much because of the restrictions they put in place.
Hi Adam, not sure of what migration you speak of when SPI was redesigned in 2016 using Studiopress (I Googled it) which users can now buy as a theme in Studiopress - unless you mean specifically Rainmaker. However, if you read SPI comments in his article, it's not all rainbows. I'm currently on my third redesign and though tricky, I found STP/GEN to be best all-in-one solution with RMr" maybe the steroid version? What do you recommend for simplicity, support, power, speed, clean, mobile responsive all-in-one for beginners, start-ups etc..? * I found the best way to see & test is to pull up RMr & STP sites on mobile. Check out Rainmaker.FM on your device. Pretty slick to me, though maybe lacking in personality. In the end, if you can find and afford the best dev. team, then, well... go for it. For DIYers', I don't see a better option, SquareSpace or other. Cheers.
LOL! Thank you for correcting my English. I will make that adjustment right now! Keep them coming, if you notice anything please tell me. I was embarrassed at one of my other videos because I spelled copyright wrong in the thumbnail.
love the video, But how can we rest the dashboard. I pickup a premade site. but they have custom the dashboard. Do you know how to rest it to the Default look??
Adam can this plugin be used to clean your database of the remnants of Google analytics uninstall? I uninstalled the GA plugin but it is still firing certain cookies from my site. Thank you for you help! ~Tim
hi, I did the steps by following your video, at first it worked, but then the next second it went back to the way it was before the database reset. It seemed as though it didn't do the reset, do you know why that is happening? Id really appreciate your help. Thank you.
Hi Adam, I have a problem. I have used the above plugin and everything is fine, with the exception of. I have rebuilt the site and I keep indexing my old pages, how can I over-come this problem?
Hi, Just to say thank you I find your videos very informative :) Could you please tell me what screen capture software you use as the images are very clear?
This video has been updated for 2020. New video here th-cam.com/video/YGEn0dHGz-8/w-d-xo.html

Wow, thank you so much!!! My site was a total mess and I was so stressed out.

Finally, someone who speaks clear English and no stupid music in the background. Thank you!!
Haha. Yes some say I speak too clear and need to speed it up.
Thank you so much for this!!! I'm a complete newb to wordpress. I'm following along in a book.
