• I got wordpress installed, and got an email with a username and password, but it does not recognise the password. When I try to plug in my email address to get a new password, it doesn’t recognize my email. It sent me an email at that address with the password, so I don’t understand the issue.

    I tried deleting my entire wordpress folder from the server and dragging a new folder over to the server, and then doing another install, but it says I have already installed it and need to delete my tables first. How do I delete the tables?

    Suggestions?

  • Before explaining how to drop MySQL tables .. why do you think a reinstall is going to fix your problem?

    This isn’t Windows ??

    Having planted that seed, I’ll direct you here:

    https://www.tamba2.org.uk/wordpress/empty-drop/

    those instructions are specifically for emptying plugin tables, but the gist is the same – just instead of emptying them, you drop them, and you do it for all the tables that begin with your chosen prefix inside wp-config.php
