Q: wp reset versus sigmaplugin
Hi wpreset,
new to wordpress here.
i was wondering if you could help explain the difference between a wp database cleaner and a wpresetter?
..and does WPReset do both?
this competitor of yours has two separate solutions Advanced WordPress Reset and Advanced Database Cleaner by SigmaPlugin. Their limits suck compared to yours, I am just wondering if I also need a Cleaner in addition to wpreset Pro?

Thanks for taking an interest in WP Reset.
WP Reset can obviously reset your site/database, which means it will restore it to a prior version (you have stored in the form of a snapshot). So the reset would wipe everything that happened after that snapshot (you wouldn't have plugins/themes/code/any changes after that).
On the other hand, a database cleaner will help you clean your database from any orphaned items such as old revisions you haven't been using, and spam comments for example, but it won't reset/delete anything else (for example, plugins/themes you've installed, any extra code you added, etc.).
I hope this makes sense :)
BATCATPLUSthank you Ivan for breaking it down for a newbie like me. I now understand the difference to some degree in layman terms.
One follow up, does WP Reset have a database cleaner for those orphaned objects etc? or would I need a separate tool? it sounds like it does both, but just need to verify. thank you again

WP Reset is not a database cleaner, sorry. If you want to clean a database, you will need a separate tool.
BATCATPLUShaha no need to be sorry. if anything its me not understanding anything being my very first wordpress server i setup. after some digging, i understand they are two separate tool functionalities, just wanted to make sure WP Reset did both so I could refund other I bought. Sounds like I need both afterall now that I understand how they work. I also see comment about Lockdown thank ya for the help!!!
