    We having been using EME in a test environment and are getting ready to move the site to production. Because multiple people have been testing and EME is fairly intricate in its design, we want to make sure to delete all test data when moving to production.

    What is the recommended approach to this? Do we have to delete and reinstall? Or can you provide a list of tables/data we can just delete by hand? Thanks!

    It depends on what you want to delete.
    If you want to delete all data and settings, go in the EME settings interface, tab “General” and check the option “Delete all EME data when upgrading or deactivating”. Then deactivate and reactivate.
    If you just want to remove test events, people, etc … then delete all content from wp_eme_* tables. You can even leave some tables untouched (for examples if you want to keep templates you created, or event categories, the names of the relevant tables are pretty straightforward). I’ve been meaning to include an option to just delete EME data (not settings), but just always seem to forget this … I’ll change that for the next version ??

    FYI: I added extra cleanup actions to the next version

    Thanks Franky!

    One question, if we choose to “delete all EME data when upgrading or deactivating”, would that also reset any changes we made in the settings as well? For example, would changes we made in settings under the different tabs like the “Access” tab or the “RSVP” tab also be deleted/reset?

    Yes, that’s why in the next version you’ll be able to choose what you want (even added extra cleanup options, so no deactivation/reactivation is needed).
    If you want, you can take the current dev version and try that one out.
