Restore Thesis to Default Settings

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:

  1. Simply toss it into your custom_functions.php file and upload.
  2. Load your home page.
  3. Login to Wordpress and thesis will ask you to upgrade.
  4. 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!
