Title: WordPress reset plugin Last modified: December 24, 2018 --- # WordPress reset plugin * Resolved [Anaelle2206](https://wordpress.org/support/users/anaelle2206/) * (@anaelle2206) * [7 years, 9 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/wordpress-reset-plugin/) * Hello everyone 🙂 * I needed to reset to default my blog website. So I installed the WORDPRESS RESET plugin and launched it. * Instead of going back to its default start, I got a page telling me I needed to click on REPAIR because some files weren’t available. I did and it gave me this result: [https://example.com/wp-admin/maint/repair.php?repair=1](https://example.com/wp-admin/maint/repair.php?repair=1) * In case you cannot get to the page, here what the repair action gave me: wp_posts: Table ‘XXXX.wp_posts’ doesn’t exist wp_comments: Table ‘XXXX.wp_comments’ doesn’t exist wp_links: Table ‘XXXX.wp_links’ doesn’t exist wp_options: Table ‘XXXX.wp_options’ doesn’t exist wp_postmeta: Table ‘XXXX.wp_postmeta’ doesn’t exist wp_term_relationships: Table ‘XXXX.wp_term_relationships’ doesn’t exist wp_commentmeta: Table ‘XXXX. wp_commentmeta’ doesn’t exist * Please give this list on wordpress support forum for informations. * Thank you all for help and MERRY CHRISTMAS!

Since you have exposed the database name and your domain name in one place, I recommend you start over by removing WordPress and installing from scratch. That will give you a new database name that isn’t publicly known.

The right to erasure does not apply to exercising the right of freedom of expression and information, nor for archiving purposes in the public interest, scientific or historical research purposes. See Article 17. This, being a support forum for the open education of the world at large, falls under that. * Will we remove it on request? Sometimes. Depends on if it’s actually personally identifying or not. A domain rarely is. * I’ve flagged your account for moderation after you abused the modlook flag. Please don’t report topics like this repeatedly. * Keep in mind, Google’s already collected this and there’s nothing to be done about that. * ETA: Joy’s kind of wrong there. Posting that link WILL NOT get you hacked. As soon as you update your site and restore data, you’ve got no risk at all. You can go to that URL on anyone’s site. It’s not a secret. We removed the DB details but against that’s like saying “Someone knows my phone number! They might hack my phone!” Not a big deal. My domain’s ipstenu.org, my DB is `wordpress_database`, and my DB prefix is `wp_` … It’s really not a thing to be super worried about. If you had my PASSWORD, then maybe. * The tl;dr? Next time don’t post anything you don’t want to have public. - This reply was modified 7 years, 9 months ago by [Ipstenu (Mika Epstein)](https://wordpress.org/support/users/ipstenu/). * Thread Starter [Anaelle2206](https://wordpress.org/support/users/anaelle2206/) * (@anaelle2206) * [7 years, 9 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/wordpress-reset-plugin/#post-11024596) * Hello, thank you for all these info, as you might have understood I am quite ignorant about informatics and so I freaked out when I was told I could get hacked for posting what I did (not understanding a word of what was said in the repair windows). * And you’re right… I will definitely avoid posting in forums again… * Moderator [Steven Stern (sterndata)](https://wordpress.org/support/users/sterndata/) * (@sterndata) * Volunteer Forum Moderator * [7 years, 9 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/wordpress-reset-plugin/#post-11024620) * >> I will definitely avoid posting in forums again… << * That’s not the lesson to take from this! Please post here if you have questions. As a general rule, however, just avoid things like userids, passwords, personal email, phone numbers, etc. * We’re here to help. Sorry you got freaked out.
