No. DB Reset Pro only resets the database. Your uploaded files in wp-content/uploads remain untouched.

No. All installed themes and plugins will remain on your server. However, they will be deactivated after reset. You can configure DB Reset Pro to automatically reactivate certain plugins after reset.
-
How can I have this plugin auto-reactivate after reset?
-
Add this line to your wp-config.php file:
define( ‘REACTIVATE_DB_RESET_PRO’, true ); -
Can I have other plugins auto-reactivate as well?
-
Yes. Add an array called $reactivate_wp_reset_pro_additional to your wp-config.php file with the plugin paths:
$reactivate_wp_reset_pro_additional = array( 'hello.php', 'akismet/akismet.php' ); -
Is this plugin compatible with multisite?
