AppRanks verdict
Generated from live marketplace data — refreshed daily
WP Database Reset is a highly rated WordPress app with a limited review volume. It is listed in the Admin category on WordPress Plugin Directory, which AppRanks treats as the canonical taxonomy node for ranking and competitor comparison. 68 reviews put it in the early-traction tier — useful for early-stage stores willing to be on the leading edge. Early-traction review counts are sensitive to single launch periods or feature events, so a 30-day re-check before bigger commitments often resolves whether the trend is sustained. Paid-only pricing means evaluating fit on the marketplace listing or via the developer's documentation before installing. AppRanks tracks rating, review count, pricing tier, and category position daily — the figures on this page reflect the most recent scrape from the canonical WordPress Plugin Directory listing.

How WP Database Reset works
Resets the WordPress database back to its 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.
Database Compatibility: This plugin supports both MySQL/MariaDB and SQLite databases. For SQLite installations, the reset process will delete the database file and redirect you to the WordPress installation screen.
