Before 2016 when there was no WP Reset Plugin. I remember how i used to have several WordPress installations on my localhost and on my server as well. Yes! for every new client or project there is new installation. Luckily at the end of 2016 i started working as WordPress theme developer for themeforest.net. Now it was the time when i required new or fresh WordPress installation quite often for testing purposes. For example a new WordPress theme’s unit test and several time the theme checks always required a new WordPress installation. To see if one click demo is going through nicely, if the plugins are installing right way. If media is being imported the correct way.
The above scenario is related to a theme developer who cares about features and reliability of WordPress themes. So for making sure it required to have fresh WordPress installation again and again. It was not easy to install new WordPress again and again. Then i searched and luckily found WordPress Reset plugin on wordpress.org. Thanks to the developers of this awesome WordPress plugin. Actually i am a developer who rely very less on plugins for features. But WP Reset plugin won my heart and i have been using plugin regularly after 2016. WP Reset plugin have made my life really easy to get fresh WordPress installations.
