How Do I Restart a WordPress Site From Scratch?

So you’ve got a WordPress site that’s not working the way you want it to. Maybe you’re new to WordPress, or maybe something happened and you can’t access your site.

In any case, you need to restart your site from scratch. Here’s how:.

First, back up your site if you want. You can do this by saving your site to a file on your computer, or by using a blog backup service.

Next, find your site’s files. On a Windows PC, this might be in your C drive, on a Mac in your Applications folder, or in a different location on a Linux or Unix-based system. On a Mac, open your site’s folder in Finder, and then look for a file called wp-config.php.

On a Windows PC, open your site’s folder in Explorer, and then look for a file called wp-config.

Next, open the file in your text editor of choice. On a Mac, this might be TextEdit, on a Windows PC, Notepad.

Next, find the line that reads “define( ‘WP_DEBUG’, false );” and change it to read “define( ‘WP_DEBUG’, true );”. This tells WordPress to turn on debugging mode.

Next, find the line that reads “define( ‘WP_NO_DEBUG’, false );” and change it to read “define( ‘WP_NO_DEBUG’, true );”. This tells WordPress not to turn on debugging mode.

Next, find the line that reads “$wp_debug = false;” and change it to read “$wp_debug = true;”. This sets the WordPress debug mode.

Next, find the line that reads “require_once( ABSPATH . ‘wp-load.php’ );” and change it to read “require_once( WP_CONTENT_DIR .

php’ );”. This tells WordPress to load the WordPress content file from the correct location.

Finally, find the line that reads “exit;” and change it to read “exit();”. This tells WordPress to exit the program.

Now it’s time to start your site. On a Mac, open Terminal and type “php wp-admin start-up.php”.

On a Windows PC, open the command prompt and type “php wp-admin start-up.

If all goes well, you’ll see a message telling you that WordPress has started up and is ready to use. Congratulations! Now you can start rebuilding your site from scratch, or fixing whatever’s wrong.

If things don’t go as planned, don’t panic. There are lots of things that can go wrong when you restart a WordPress site, and sometimes all you need is a little help from WordPress itself. In that case, you can try the following:

If you’re using a WordPress site hosted on a server, you might be able to restart your site by clicking the “Restart Website” button on the server’s main administration page.

If you’re using a self-hosted WordPress site, you might be able to restart your site by clearing your site’s cache and cookies, and then reloading the site.

If you’re using a WordPress site hosted on a domain, you might be able to restart your site by contacting your web hosting provider.

If you’re using a WordPress site hosted on a client’s server, you might be able to restart your site by uploading your site’s files back to the client’s server.

If you’re using a WordPress site that’s not hosted on any kind of server, you might be able to restart your site by logging in to your site’s admin area and clicking the “Restart Site” button.

In any case, if things don’t seem to be working the way they should, it’s probably a good idea to restart your site from scratch. After all, that’s what this whole process is supposed to do: fix your site so that it works the way you want it to.
