If you are working on a local server or a test site, then you might need to restore your database back to how it was when you first started.

In this article, we will show you how to reset your WordPress database to default settings with just a few clicks.

Here is a quick overview of the steps we will cover in this tutorial:

Ready? Let’s begin.

Step 1: Prepare a WordPress Backup Before Reset

WordPress stores all your website content in a database. This includes your posts, pages, media file data, plugin and theme settings, and more.

If you have been working on a test site on a local server or a staging site, then you sometimes may wish to reset to a fresh install to start over.

Resetting your WordPress database is the fastest way to do this. It deletes all your WordPress data without deleting any files stored on your web hosting server.

However, If you reset your WordPress database, then all the data will be gone forever. It cannot be undone.

We recommend making a complete WordPress backup before you go any further. You can also back up your WordPress database alone if you don’t want to back up your entire website.

Now, we will show you two methods to quickly back up your WordPress database before the reset. You can choose the one that works best for you.

Method 1: Make WordPress Database Backup Using Duplicator

Duplicator is the best WordPress backup plugin on the market. It allows you to easily back up your WordPress website and quickly restore it from the backup.

First, you need to install and activate the Duplicator plugin. For more details, see our step-by-step guide on how to install a WordPress plugin.

Note: There is also a free version of Duplicator that you can use. However, we recommend upgrading to the paid plan to unlock the full potential of the plugin.

Upon activation, go to the Duplicator » Packages page and click the ‘Create New’ button.

Next, you need to provide a name for your backup.

Click on the ‘Next’ button to continue.

Duplicator will now scan your WordPress website and show the scan results.

It may show some notices, like if you don’t have a WordPress security plugin installed or are using an outdated version of WordPress.

You can ignore these notices. If everything else looks good, then click on the ‘Build’ button to continue.

The plugin will back up your WordPress database and show you the download options.

Simply click on the ‘Download’ and ‘Both Files’ buttons to continue.

Duplicator will now send both the Archive and the Installer files as downloads to your computer.

Method 2: Create a Database Backup Using Advanced WP Reset

For this method, you will be using the Advanced WP Reset plugin. It is the same plugin that you will use in the next step to reset your WordPress database.

However, the downside of this backup approach is that you will have to restore your WordPress database using phpMyAdmin.

First, you need to install and activate the Advanced WP Reset plugin. For more details, see our step-by-step guide on how to install a WordPress plugin.

Upon activation, go to the Tools » Advanced WP Reset page and switch to the ‘Snapshots’ tab.

Provide a name for your backup, and then click the ‘Take Snapshot’ button.

The plugin will now prepare a copy of your database and store it as a backup. You will see it listed under the Available Snapshots section.

However, when you reset your WordPress database, the plugin will also delete this snapshot. You need to save it on your computer to use it later.

Click on the plus [+] icon to expand the snapshot options, and then click on the ‘Download’ button.

Your database backup will now download as an SQL file to your computer.

Step 2: Reset Your WordPress Database to Default Settings

Now, you need to install and activate the Advanced WP Reset plugin. For more details, see our step-by-step guide on how to install a WordPress plugin.

Next, go to the Tools » Advanced WP Reset page and switch to the ‘Reset’ tab.

Under the Site Reset section, the plugin will show you all the data it will reset. This includes the following:

• Pages, posts, and comments
• Custom database tables (created by you or a WordPress plugin installed on your site)
• Users except for the current admin user
• Advanced WP Reset plugin data (including snapshots and settings)

Below that, it will show you which data will not be deleted. This includes the following items:

• The admin user account
• Files, uploads in the media library, themes, plugins, and more. However, any plugin or theme data stored in the database will be deleted.
• Basic WordPress settings, including site title, WordPress address, site address, timezone, and language options
• Non-WordPress database tables. These tables don’t share the table prefix set in your WordPress database settings.

If everything looks good, just type ‘Reset’ under the Warning label and then click the ‘Reset’ button.

This will bring up another popup warning.

Simply click the ‘Reset Now’ button to continue.

The plugin will now reset your WordPress database to its default settings.

Once finished, you will see a success message.

You can now continue using your website with the default database settings.

Note: Upon reset, the plugin will recreate the default WordPress content that comes with a fresh install of WordPress. It includes a blog post titled ‘Hello World’, ‘A Sample Page’ under Pages, and a sample comment under Comments. Feel free to delete those manually.

Step 3: Restore WordPress Database From Backup (Optional)

If, for some reason, resetting your WordPress database to default settings didn’t work, then you can restore your database from the backup created in the first step.

Method 1: Restore Duplicator Database Backup

If you created your WordPress database backup using the Duplicator plugin, then here is how you will restore your website.

During the database reset, the Advanced WP Reset plugin will deactivate all other WordPress plugins installed on your site.

Go to the Plugins page in the WordPress admin area to activate the Duplicator plugin.

Once the plugin is activated, you need to visit the Duplicator » Import page.

Here, you need to upload the Archive file you downloaded in the first step.

Next, the plugin will scan your archive file and show you the package details.

If everything looks good, just click the ‘Continue’ button to begin the import.

On the next screen, you may be asked to confirm that you want to continue without a recovery point.

Since you already have the latest backup, it is safe to continue without creating a recovery point.

Scroll down to the bottom of the page.

You will see the number of posts, pages, comments, and media under the system overview. Click on the ‘Launch Installer’ button to continue.

This will launch the Duplicator installer.

Upon launch, the installer will automatically choose ‘Restore single site’ as your restoration type.

Scroll down to the Validation section.

Here, you will again see the warning about the recovery point. You need to check the box next to the ‘I have read and accept all terms and notices’ option.

Click on the ‘Next’ button to continue.

Duplicator will now show you a popup with your installer settings. Go ahead and click on the ‘OK’ button.

Duplicator will now start importing your website from the backup and restore your WordPress database.

Once finished, you will see a success message with a button to log in to the WordPress admin area.

Method 2: Restore Database Backup from SQL File

If you saved your WordPress database method using the Advanced WP Reset plugin’s Snapshots tool, then here is how you will restore the database.

First, you need to open up phpMyAdmin. It is a web-based tool that allows you to easily perform database operations using a friendly interface.

If the website you are trying to store is hosted on your web server, then log in to your WordPress hosting account control panel (cPanel).

From here, you need to find the Database section and click on the ‘phpMyAdmin’ button.

This will open phpMyAdmin in a new browser tab.

On the other hand, if you were working on a local website on your computer, then you can open phpMyAdmin or a similar tool from the software that you are using for local sites.

We recommend using Local, which does not come with phpMyAdmin. Instead, it uses Open Adminer to manage databases.

Once you are in phpMyAdmin, make sure that you have selected the database for your website.

Select all database tables in phpMyAdmin by clicking on the ‘Check all’ box at the bottom of the table list. After that, select ‘Drop’ from the ‘With selected’ dropdown menu.

This will empty your WordPress database.

You can now switch to the ‘Import’ tab at the top and click on the ‘Choose File’ button to select the SQL file you downloaded earlier.

After choosing the file, feel free to review the on-screen options. The default settings will work for most websites.

Scroll down toward the bottom of the page and click on the ‘Import’ button.

phpMyAdmin will now upload your SQL file and run it.

After that, you will see a success message.

You can now visit your website and log in to see your database restored to its previous settings.

Adding social icons to your website is an easy way to let your audience know about your social media presence. That way, they can easily visit your social profiles and follow you online.

In this article, we will show you how to add social media icons to your WordPress sidebar.

Why Add Social Media Icons to Your WordPress Sidebar?

A WordPress sidebar is an area on your website that is not a part of your main content. It’s where you can display additional information that readers may be interested in, such as your most recent blog posts and links to your social profiles.

Adding social links to your WordPress sidebar is a good idea because it tells users about your social media accounts. As a result, they can check them out, follow you, and help you grow your social media following.

What’s more, displaying your social media accounts can build a sense of credibility and serve as social proof. When visitors see that you have an active social media presence, this shows that your business is responsive and trustworthy.

Many popular WordPress blogs display social media icons in their sidebars, like WPBeginner:

Note: Social media icons are different from social share buttons on WordPress posts. If you are looking to add share buttons, then you can see our beginner’s guide on how to add social sharing icons in WordPress.

With that being said, let’s take a look at how to add social media follow icons to your WordPress sidebar. The method you should use depends on the WordPress theme and editor you are using. If you want to skip to a certain section, then you can use these quick links:

Method 1: Adding Social Icons With Full Site Editor (Block Themes)

If you are a block theme user, then you can add social media buttons to your WordPress sidebar using the Social Icons block.

Note that the process varies by the theme you use. Some block themes may include a sidebar by default, which you can then add the Social Icons block to. Some might also have a header pattern that functions like a sidebar, and some may not have a sidebar at all.

In this example, we will use a default WordPress block theme and show you how to create a sidebar for all your pages or posts where you can add the Social Icons block.

First, go to Appearance » Editor in your WordPress admin panel.

Next, you need to select ‘Templates.’

This will bring you to a page where you can edit the template of your pages and posts.

Here, you can choose one of the page templates. It may be either ‘Pages’ or ‘Single Posts,’ depending on where you want the sidebar to be.

If you want the sidebar to show on both your static pages and posts, then you can edit both of them later. You can also customize the homepage template in case you need the sidebar to appear there, too.

In this case, we will select ‘Pages.’

After that, click the pencil button in the left panel next to the three-dot button.

This will open up the WordPress editor.

As you can see, the default theme doesn’t have a sidebar in the Pages template yet, so we need to create one for it.

To do this, you can hover over where you want to add the sidebar and click the add block ‘+’ button when it appears. Then, find and select ‘Columns.’

There will be some variations to choose from.

In this example, we will use the ‘66 / 33’ option to imitate the standard look of a right sidebar.

Once done, you can drag and drop the Post Content block to the left of the Columns block.

Your Pages template should look something like the image below, with the right column empty.

Now, click on the right column and select the add block ‘+’ button.

Then, search for the Social Icons block.

You can now start adding your social media platforms to the block. Simply click the ‘+’ button again and add your social media buttons one by one.

Feel free to use the search feature to browse all of the social network options.

Once you’ve added all of the buttons, you can start adding links to your social profiles.

All you need to do is click on a social icon and enter your profile URL.

At this stage, you can customize how the icons look.

If the size of the buttons isn’t big or small enough, then you can use the ‘Size’ option in the block toolbar.

In the Block Settings on the left, you can customize the icons’ justification, orientation, link settings, and labels.

We recommend making the links open in a new tab so that users won’t need to leave your website to visit your social profiles.

If you switch to the Block Styles tab, then you can change the icons’ styles and colors to suit your WordPress website design.

Depending on your preference, you can make all the icons have different colors or the same one, like below.

Scrolling down the same tab, you’ll find the Dimensions settings to customize the block margin and spacing.

These settings can be helpful if you want to adjust the spacing between the Social Icons block and other blocks in the sidebar.

It’s also a good idea to add a call-to-action text on top of the Social Icons block to highlight where the buttons are and draw website visitors’ attention.

To do this, go ahead and add a Paragraph block using the ‘+’ button. Make sure it’s above the social icons.

Some call-to-action examples you might use are ‘Follow Us, ‘Join Over X Readers,’ or ‘Get the Latest Updates.’

If you haven’t already, then you can also add more elements to the sidebar, like your featured posts and recent comments.

Now, simply click the ‘Save’ button in the top right corner of the page.

And that’s it!

When you go to your WordPress website, you should now see a sidebar with some social links.

If you want to create unique sidebars for different pages or posts, all of which include a Social Icons block, then we recommend creating a WordPress pattern or reusable block for your sidebar.

To learn more, you can check out our beginner’s guides on how to use WordPress block patterns and how to add reusable blocks.

Method 2: Adding Social Media Icons With WordPress Widgets (Classic Themes)

This next method is for people using a classic WordPress theme with widget-ready sidebar areas.

To add social media buttons to your sidebar, simply head to Appearance » Widgets from your WordPress dashboard.

Then, navigate to the WordPress widget area where you want to add the Social Icons widget. In our example, we will select ‘Sidebar,’ but the name may be different depending on the theme you are using.

Now, click the add block ‘+’ button at the top left, next to ‘Widgets.’

Here, you can look for the Social Icons block.

After that, you need to click on this sidebar widget or drag and drop it anywhere in the editing area.

In general, it’s best to add your social network icons close to the top of the widget area. This way, they can catch your visitors’ attention right from the moment they land on the page.

Then, similar to the previous method, you can click the ‘+’ button to add new social media buttons one by one to the widget.

In the example below, we have placed the Social Icons block below the Search block. We are also adding a WhatsApp icon.

At this point, you can start adding your social links.

For WhatsApp, you can type ‘wa.me/’ and write your WhatsApp number next to it. There is no need to use the + symbol, but make sure to add your country calling code, like in this screenshot.

You also have access to the Block Settings and Styles options in the right panel.

To open these options, you can click the ‘Settings’ icon in the top right corner.

Additionally, feel free to add a Paragraph block on top of the social media widget for your call-to-action text.

We recommend making the Paragraph and Social Icons blocks a Group so that they don’t look separated in the sidebar.

To do this, just select the Paragraph and Social Icons together. After that, click the ‘Transform’ icon in the block toolbar and select ‘Group.’

Once finished, go ahead and click the ‘Update’ button to make the changes official on all of your sidebars.

Here’s what the end result should look like:

Method 3: Adding Custom Social Media Icons With SeedProd (Custom Themes)

If you use SeedProd, then you will have more control over how your social media buttons look in your sidebar. For example, if you use a social media platform that WordPress doesn’t have an icon for, then you can create a button for it yourself.

Additionally, you can adjust the icon spacing specifically for mobile devices.

If you are new to SeedProd and want to use it, then you need to install and activate the plugin first. You will need the Pro version to be able to access the Social Profiles feature.

For more information on how to install a plugin, check out our guide on how to install a WordPress plugin.

Then, you can follow this tutorial to set up your theme with SeedProd.

Now, to add the social icons to the sidebar, you will need to go to SeedProd » Theme Builder. Then, hover over the ‘Sidebar’ template and click ‘Edit Design.’

You are now inside the SeedProd page builder. The Social Profiles block should have been added by default to the theme template.

If it hasn’t, however, you can use the search bar in the left panel and type in ‘Social Profiles.’ After that, simply drag and drop the block to wherever is suitable for you.

Don’t forget to add a Text block on top of the buttons and write some call-to-action text.

This way, you are directing visitors’ attention to the social media buttons in the sidebar.

To customize how the social media profile icons look, just click on the ‘Social Profiles’ element. Here, you will see different tabs to customize the buttons.

In the ‘Content’ tab, you can add more icons and change the icon style, icon size, and alignment.

Besides the standard options like Instagram and Facebook, SeedProd also has buttons for Slack, Telegram, Github, and more.

To add a new social media icon that SeedProd doesn’t have by default, you need to click the ‘+ Add New Share’ button.

After that, select ‘Custom’ from the dropdown menu.

To edit the button, go ahead and click the gear settings symbol next to the arrow button.

Once you’ve done that, just select ‘Choose Icon.’

Now, you will be redirected to the Icon Library, where there are hundreds of brand icons to choose from, courtesy of Font Awesome icons.

In this example, we will use Airbnb.

Once you have selected an icon, you can adjust the color and add the link to the social media page.

Here, we’ve decided to stick with Airbnb’s brand color. When inserting the social account link, make sure to include the ‘https://’ as well.

Next is the ‘Templates’ tab.

If you switch to this tab, you can adjust the design of the icon. You can make it more square, circular, and/or monochromatic, depending on your preferences.

Lastly, the ‘Advanced’ tab offers more ways to customize your social media buttons.

The Styles section is where you can change the icons’ style, color, size, space in between, and shadow effect.

In Spacing, you can edit the block’s margin and padding. What’s great about SeedProd is it allows you to make the margin and padding different for desktop and mobile devices.

To edit the margin and padding, just choose one of the device icons and insert your margin and padding measurements like so:

Scrolling down, you will find Device Visibility and Animation Effects.

In the first setting, you can opt to hide the block on desktop or mobile. This may be necessary if you have chosen to use the Social Profiles block in another part of your website and don’t want duplicate social profile icons.

With Animation Effects, you can select an animation style for the block when the icons are loaded on the web page. This effect is not necessary if you don’t want to distract the visitor too much from the main content.

Once you have configured the Social Profiles block to your liking, simply click the ‘Save’ button in the top right corner.

Or, click the ‘Preview’ button to see how the sidebar looks first.

And that’s it! You have successfully added the social profiles block using SeedProd.

Here’s what the end result may look like:

As your WordPress website grows, you may need to redirect users from one post to another. You may also need to set redirects if you delete a post or page.

In this article, we’ll share our top picks of the best WordPress redirect plugins with their pros and cons.

What Are Redirects in WordPress?

Redirects allow you to send users to a different URL than the one they clicked on.

Usually, when you delete a post or page in WordPress or change its URL, then the old URL would start showing a 404 error page.

Search engines wouldn’t be able to find it, and you would miss out on the traffic and SEO rankings you were getting for that page.

Redirects allow you to fix that by sending users to new or similar content on your website. This helps you preserve SEO while offering a better experience for your users.

You may also need redirects if you move a WordPress website to a new domain name.

Why Set up Redirects in WordPress?

Redirects guide visitors from old, broken, or changed articles to new and relevant ones. Following are some of the reasons that make redirects important.

1. Preserving Your SEO Juice

Search engines cannot find a page if it’s deleted or moved to a different URL. Redirects tell them, “Hey, the content is in this new place now!” That helps preserve your WordPress SEO and traffic.

2. Enhancing User Experience:

Imagine clicking a link and landing on a 404 error page. This can be really frustrating for users. Redirects let you prevent this by ensuring that your users can always find what they are looking for.

3. Managing Affiliate Links

Many websites make money online by recommending products to their users. They earn a commission when users buy a product by clicking one of their links. Redirect plugins allow you to use your own short URLs or branded links for these URLs. They also allow you to redirect users to the right product properly.

4. Preserving Social Media Shares:

Have you ever shared a post on social media and later changed its URL? Redirects ensure that when someone clicks the shared link, they land on the updated page, not an error. This maintains your social media presence and prevents potential visitors from bouncing away due to broken links.

Basically, it is like keeping a map updated. It ensures both search engines and visitors can navigate your website effortlessly.

What Are Different Types of Redirects?

There are different types of redirects that you can set up, but they all mean something different for search engines.

Your WordPress website sends an appropriate header code when a page is requested.

This code (usually invisible to human users) lets search engines and browsers know what kind of redirect it is.

The common types of redirects used by WordPress websites are 301 Redirects (Permanent Redirects), 302 Redirects (Temporary Redirects), and 304 Redirects (Cached Not-Modified Redirects).

Luckily, there are excellent WordPress plugins available that make setting all of these up super easy for you.

Now, let’s look at the best redirect plugins for WordPress that you can use.
