So this is a really brief post, but in tinkering with Thesis on a test site of mine. I realized I needed to revert thesis back to its defaults. After 20 minutes of searching and playing with the database I ran across this gem on the forums via Kristarella:
delete_option('thesis_design_options');
delete_option('thesis_options');
Steps:
- Simply toss it into your custom_functions.php file and upload.
- Load your home page.
- Login to Wordpress and thesis will ask you to upgrade.
- TADA! You have the default install.
Hopefully you find this useful. This post is just as much for my future reference as it is for others. Enjoy :)

Don’t forget to delete those lines from custom_functions.php after loading the home page once, otherwise the options will be deleted over and over!
