Reinstall WordPress
- You can do a reinstall within your site dashboard.
- You have the option to uninstall and reinstall your site through FTP or through web hosting.
- You don’t have the option to delete only plugins and themes.
- Reinstalling through Web Hosting is a time killer
Reset WordPress
- One Plugin like WP Reset will take care of all
- One-click reset and you will get a completely new site
- You have the option to delete all themes and plugins only in one click.
- It speeds up testing and debugging by providing a quick way to reset settings
What do we Recommend?
We recommend doing WordPress Reset because resetting through a Plugin gives you a more customized option rather than a traditional uninstalling and reinstall. WP Reset Plugin comes with a post-reset set up so you won’t need to manually set options or reactivate plugins and themes after a successful reset.
If you are doing a manual reinstall or an advanced reset using plugins, better to take a complete site backup before proceeding with it.
