Can I reset wordpress without losing posts, comments, media and widgets?

by

I a having too many errors on my blog recently. I tried everything (including posting in this forum), but couldn’t sort it out. Would it be possible to reset my WordPress website without losing posts, comments, media and widgets?

I have installed a plugin called WordPress Database Reset, but not sure about what options I should pick to keep posts, media, etc.

First thing first, please make a backup before make permanent changes…

If you want to keep just your posts, comments, media and widgets these tables are ones you do not want to reset:

  • wp_post and wp_postmeta – pages, posts, media, custom posts, etc
  • wp_comments and wp_commentmeta – all comments
  • wp_options – widgets

Also, if you reset wp_users table, make sure you can login…
