  Hello,

  I would like to recreate my entire site but keep the name. When I change themes now they never look right because of prior modifications I have made. I would just like to start over like new.

  site address: tntcomputersli.wordpress.com
  I understand that this will remove all content and data and that it cannot be recovered.

  Thank you,
  Kevin

  Hi, Kevin!

  You can do this very quickly, just go to the “Settings” – “Start over”.

  Good luck with your new site!

  Best regards,
  Olga

  Hi Olga,

  I have followed those steps but it does not completely reset the site. After clearing out everything and activating a new theme, it still has some properties from my old site and doesn’t look like the theme should.

  Thanks,
  Kevin

  There has been a recent issue with theme leftovers but Staff have a tool they will run to remove them for you.

  I’ve tagged this for Staff, but do please note that not all themes can be reset with the tool. They will let you know if it is possible when they reply.

  Hi there,

  Just to clarify, we have two options.

  Option 1: I just empty your site. It will remove all posts, pages, comments, categories, tags and media files. It will not remove any customizations on your theme and will not affect your site settings in any way.

  Option 2: I empty the site of all content AND set the site up with default content so it’s similar to the theme demo page. Customizations in the Customizer will be set to the default values for the particular theme, but site settings won’t be affected in any way.

  Both these actions are irreversable, and any content I remove would be gone forever, so I need you to confirm what you want to do.

  There is no way to reset site settings. This tool focuses exclusively on content and theme settings.

  Thanks for confirming. I’ve reset your site with the default content. You can see your theme’s setup instructions to further customize it here:
