INT Fresh Start is a selective WordPress cleanup plugin for administrators who need to remove chosen content, plugins, or themes from a website. Use it to clean up a new, staging, or demo WordPress site before hand-off, or to remove selected items after testing.

Manage WordPress cleanup from one screen. Browse searchable lists of posts, pages, comments, media attachments, revisions, installed plugins, and themes. Select individual items or all items in a category, then review your complete selection before confirming permanent cleanup.

Features

Browse WordPress posts, pages, comments, media attachments, plugins, themes, and revisions by title or name and ID.
Search within each category to find specific items.
Select individual items or select all items in a category.
Review the exact items selected for cleanup before confirming deletion.
Permanently delete selected posts, pages, comments, revisions, and media attachments in small batches.
Deactivate and uninstall selected regular plugins using WordPress plugin APIs.
Delete selected themes using WordPress theme APIs.
Protect INT Fresh Start itself, the active theme, and parent themes required by installed child themes.
Track cleanup progress, view a detailed operation report, and resume interrupted jobs.
Optionally change the permalink structure to Post name.

Important behavior

Nothing is selected by default. Only items you select are submitted for cleanup.
Unselected items are not directly processed. However, WordPress may automatically remove associated comments and revisions when their parent post or page is deleted.
Deleting a media attachment permanently removes its attachment record, original file, and generated image sizes.
Uninstalling a plugin may remove its own settings, database tables, or other data if its uninstall routine does so. If it has no uninstall routine, its database data may remain.
Deleting a theme removes its files but does not run a standard theme uninstall routine. Theme-specific database tables, options, and other data may remain.
Must-use plugins and hosting-managed drop-ins are not shown or removed.
Custom post type entries are not listed for direct deletion. Their individual revisions may appear in the revisions list and can be deleted separately.
User accounts, menus, widgets, and unrelated site settings are not directly modified. The optional permalink setting changes the permalink structure and rewrite rules.

INT Fresh Start is a manual cleanup tool, not an automatic full-site reset or database optimization plugin. It does not include orphaned metadata cleanup, unused media detection, or saved cleanup profiles.

Privacy

INT Fresh Start does not send site content, personal data, or usage telemetry to an external service. A link to the developer website appears in the plugin’s admin screen and is opened only when clicked.

Support

For help, bug reports or compatibility feedback, please use the Support forum on the INT Fresh Start page in the WordPress.org Plugin Directory once the plugin is published.
