wordpress help (mass posting management)

by GeorgR.
4 replies
need a plugin to fully delete ALL posts/comments quickly AND (preferrably) also empty/purge the posts from the database.


Basically to make a WP blog "virgin" again but leave all other settings intact.

Deleting manually is a joke, especially since i also had to emtpy SQL tables by hand on phpadmin. There must be another way?

    Why don't you try creating a template installation. Basically setup your wordpress plugins and themes before uploading them to your sites. Then you don't have to worry about deleting tons of posts.

    Then the only thing you will have to do is upload the entire folder and then:

    1. Create the MySQL DB
    2. Run the Install for WordPress
    3. Activate the plugins
    4. Select the theme
    5. Configure your plugins

    This is bound to be a lot quicker than manually deleting posts from what I am assuming is a blog that you are wanting to create duplicate installations of with different posts.

    I think there are a few different versions out there, but this should work for you.

    GeorgR,
    All you need to do is go into PhpMyAdmin and go to your post table and click on "empty" (its a red button) .. Just one click it will empty the entire table in a second ..

    Either that or Just install a dummy blog, then go into PhpMyAdmin, go to your database and click on export and do the following

    SQL compatibility mode: MySQL40
    Check Add Drop Table
    UnCheck Extended inserts
    Check Save File As
    File Name Template (default shows __TABLE__) : Add any name you want such as myblogbackup

    Then click on the "GO" button..

    This will download a fresh empty wordpress database.. Next time you want to empty a database just to into mysql and import just make sue you change the database name on the downloaded .sql file.
