    Safest Full Reset Method
    Step 1 — Backup First

    Before deleting anything:

    Export database
    Backup public_html

    Use:

    Hosting backup
    or UpdraftPlus
    OPTION A (Recommended)
    Delete Only WordPress Site Files

    In File Manager:

    Go to:

    /public_html/

    Delete:

    wp-admin
    wp-content
    wp-includes
    all WordPress files

    BUT KEEP:

    .htaccess

    (optional)

    and:

    cgi-bin

    (if hosting created it)

    Then:
    Reinstall fresh WordPress
    Install:
    WooCommerce
    WoodMart theme
    WoodMart Core
    Setup again

    This is the cleanest method.

    OPTION B (COMPLETE RESET)
    Delete Everything Including Database

    Only if you want a totally new website.

    Delete:

    all files in public_html
    MySQL database
    Create fresh database
    Reinstall WordPress
    VERY IMPORTANT

    If using Cloudflare:
    After reinstall:

    Go to Cloudflare
    Clear cache
    Enable SSL again if needed
    Can i apply that as update are not coming..?

    Hello,

    You can first try resetting your site using the WP Reset plugin instead of manually deleting files from File Manager. It is a safer method and helps reset the website properly without risking missing important server files.
