Recipe No. 5: Clean your workspace

How to install a WordPress without the default posts and plugins? It’s not possible. But before going further we’ll clean the default installation so you start from a clean base. It’s time to explore your WordPress dashboard. We will install and use a very handy plugin: Advanced Reset WP https://fr.wordpress.org/plugins/advanced-reset-wp/

Warning, If your site already has content, do not use this recipe.

Clean your workspace

  1. Go to your WordPress dashboard and install the Advanced Reset WP plugin, which you can find here https://fr.wordpress.org/plugins/advanced-reset-wp/ or by searching in WordPress’s internal search.
  2. Activate the plugin and go to Tools/Advanced Reset WP
  3. check the boxes
    Post cleaning
    Delete themes
    Delete plugins
    Clear "uploads" folder
    You can also check Deep Cleaning, which will delete all users
  4. Type the word 'reset' into the field, then click 'start cleaning'.
  5. Once you've done this, I recommend disabling the plugin, or even uninstalling it to avoid future errors.

There — your WordPress is all clean. The next step will be to set up a backup to save time in case of a problem. See recipe no. 6
