Hawsome Site Reset

WARNING: THIS PLUGIN IS HIGHLY DESTRUCTIVE. USE WITH EXTREME CAUTION.

Hawsome Site Reset is built for developers who reset WordPress sites daily. If you repeatedly build, test, and tear down local or staging environments, this is the one-click nuke you need: database wipe, uploads folder purge, and plugin and theme removal in a single authenticated operation, without breaking your admin session.

What makes it different from WP Reset: Most reset plugins wipe the database and stop there. Hawsome Site Reset also recursively purges wp-content/uploads, removes every plugin and theme except itself and your active theme, and clears cache drop-ins like advanced-cache.php, all in one pass. The chunked AJAX pipeline means no PHP execution limit can interrupt a wipe, even on hosts with tight timeout settings.

Security flow: Every reset requires three steps: a site-specific confirmation string, a time-limited token, and your administrator password re-entered on the spot. Three failed password attempts locks the form for 15 minutes.

When executed, this plugin will:

• Delete all data from standard WordPress database tables and drop custom tables (WooCommerce leftovers, etc.).
• Preserve your current admin user account and active session. You stay logged in.
• Recursively delete all media in your wp-content/uploads folder.
• Permanently delete every other plugin from the server, active or inactive. Only Hawsome Site Reset itself is preserved.
• Remove caching drop-ins (advanced-cache.php, objectcache.php, etc.) to prevent fatal errors after reboot.
• Preserve your currently active theme untouched and permanently delete every other theme, active or inactive.
• Restore WordPress core defaults, re-initialize roles, and normalize database AUTO_INCREMENT counters.
