So this is a really brief post, but in tinkering with Thesis Theme 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. Thanks to all the thesis theme designers out there and their work in the forum! This post is just as much for my future reference as it is for others. Rock and Roll and keep using thesis!

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!
what are the instructions for step 1 (Simply toss it into your custom_functions.php file and upload.)?
Based on my very thorough understanding of how themes work and my reading of the GPL, there is no question here!!
Will this “turn off” the skin I’m trying to get rid of? Or do I need to “deactivate” the skin in some other way as well?
