WordPress Reset
Ari StathopoulosResets the WordPress database back to it’s defaults. Deletes all customizations and content. Does not modify files only resets the database.
This plugin is very helpful for plugin and theme developers.
If the admin user exists and has level_10 permissions it will be recreated with its current password and email address. If the admin user does not exist or is a dummy account without admin permissions the username that is logged in will be recreated with its email address and current password. The blog name is also kept.
The plugin will add an entry to the Admin Bar under the site title and has the ability to reactivate itself and other plugins after the reset.
Upgrade
- Use the plugin updater in WordPress or…
- Delete the previous
wordpress-reset
folder from the/wp-content/plugins/
directory - Upload the new
wordpress-reset
folder to the/wp-content/plugins/
directory
Usage
- Visit the WordPress Reset Tools page by either clicking the link in the Admin Bar or Tools>WordPress Reset
- Type ‘reset’ in the text field and click reset.
Add define( 'REACTIVATE_WP_RESET', true );
to wp-config.php
above /* That's all, stop editing! Happy blogging. */
Add an array called $reactivate_wp_reset_additional
to the global scope by placing it in wp-config.php
above /* That's all, stop editing! Happy blogging. */
that contains the plugin basenames of the plugins to activate, such as:
$reactivate_wp_reset_additional = array(
'hello.php',
'akismet/akismet.php'
);
It works but it deletes wp_users on some cases...

Well, it works... but if the wordpress database has a diferent prefix it also deletes wp_users. In my case was w7_users and deleted all users. I guess it works fine if the prefix is default wp_users
Simple and minimal
