 * Hi guys!
 * I have problem with this theme. It started to “act” really strange, I could not
   find the source of problem so I decide to re-inastall it.
 * From past I know when you delete theme and install it once again, WP finds it
   like it is a “virgin”.
 * But not this one. I delete the theme, install it once again and WP remebers everything(
   background, colors and all the other things that I don’t need).
 * Any idea how to make WP forget about this ex-theme?
 * PS: I’m running WP on a hoste server, not original WP server.

 * You probably need to edit the wp_options table in your database to remove the
   theme’s settings.

 * Hi premiumwp!
 * I search for ” *wp_options* ” and “wp_options” on my cPanel but search engine
   can’t find file like this. Is it possible that this file has other name?
 * So I search and delete everything that has “broadcast” (name of theme) in their
   name. It looks like WP loste some of info about this theme, but there are still
   some remeberd stuff.
 * Is there any option to search _in file_** for this keyword for all the files 
   on server?**

 * To modify database tables you need to use something like PhpMyadmin. However 
   unless you know what you are doing, I wouldn’t recommend trying it. You might
   be better to hire someone to help you out with it.
