How do I start over on a Faaaster site?

There's no "reset" button in the Faaaster interface. To start again from a blank WordPress, you create a new site and archive the old one.

Steps to follow

1. From your Projects, click New site.
2. At the Website parameters step, leave the blueprint set to Blank WordPress website — it's the default choice.
3. Finish creating the site.
4. If the old site had a domain, reconnect it to the new one from the Domains tab.
5. Archive the old site from its Tools tab, Danger zone section — an action reserved for the organization's owner and admins.

⚠️ Do it in this order. The new site has its own subscription: make sure the old one is actually canceled so you don't pay twice, and only archive it once the domain has actually been switched over.

If you only want to clear the content

Starting over isn't always necessary. Depending on what you're trying to do:

• Undo an update that broke the site → restore a backup. A backup is taken automatically before every update.
• Get WordPress back in shape without losing content → the integrity check compares your files with those published on WordPress.org and flags what has been modified.
• Clear only the database → import a blank SQL dump from the Tools tab.

A reset is irreversible, and archiving deletes the backups. Before anything else, export files and database from Tools › Backup & migration.
