How do I remove TT3 and restart?

Hi there,

Do you want to remove all the content from your site (including posts and posts), then reset changes from the theme? If so, something like that is usually ideal: https://www.ads-software.com/plugins/wordpress-reset/

@filipe I do not want to delete my content. I only want to delete TT3 completely and start again. I am testing and learning, and making huge mistakes for instance in header and footer.

I believe that part of the TT3 setup is hidden in the “big american file”, the ugliest part of WP – also named: wp-options, a table in the database. That is why it is not enough to delete the theme folder using you FTP.

Oh, I see! Thank you for clarifying that.

Your theme changes are in the database (not in a specific file).

Generally, for going more specific on the theme, it really depends on what you want to revert. There is not a single button to reset all the theme options.

If you would like to revert the style changes, you can go to the Site Editor > Styles, then the revision icon and you can click on “Reset to defaults”.

If you would like to reset changes for a header/footer or native pattern, you can go to the Site Editor > Patterns, then select what you want to revert and click on the three-dot icon (kebab menu). There, you can cleat customizations.

PS: For future reference, you can also use something like https://playground.wordpress.net/ for testing and learning before making changes to your site.

I am working in a clone of the original webpage.

My problem is that I want to move the final result to the original webpage. Before I could do it by establishing a child-theme. Now I do not know how.

Second, I believe that by cleanup my database – especially remove unused rubbish from the wp-options table – will make life easier and faster.

Hey @boldt! Is your clone in a template or in page? If it’s in a page, then you can try setting up a fresh testing WP installation, and copy-paste that page’s content there, to test.

In general, if you’re looking to ave your work as a child theme, you should check the Create Block theme plugin, which will let you export your changes to a child theme.

I have established a complete copy of the original WP somewhere else. I am not using any plugin – I have done it by old fashion hard work upload/download – phpMyAdmin – copy/paste – search/replace…

I want to give the page a complete overhaul: upgrade from php 7.4 to 8.1 (or higher) replace old plugins with new, remove “artificial respiration” of old plugins….

I will take a look at the sugested plugin.
