Don&#8217;t worry! Reinstalling WordPress can be an answer to your problem. WordPress is a versatile content management system that can run from simple blogs to complicated e-commerce websites. It&#8217;s diverse, with vast plugin and theme options, and highly personalized. But sometimes, like any other software, WordPress may malfunction. And you may have to reinstall it from scratch. In this article, we will guide you through the confusing maze of WordPress reinstallation.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Before_You_Begin_%E2%80%93_Take_a_Deep_Breath_and_Backup_Your_Website\"><\/span>Before You Begin &#8211; Take a Deep Breath and Backup Your Website<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>First things first! Before you start, we recommend that you take a complete backup of your website. And we mean everything from your WordPress installation to your database and all your files. It&#8217;s best to be prepared for any eventuality. You can either take a backup of your site using plugins like BackupBuddy or Jetpack or use your web hosting control panel to take a backup. <\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Strap_On_and_Start_the_Reinstallation_Process\"><\/span>Strap On, and Start the Reinstallation Process <span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Now that you&#8217;ve taken a backup, it&#8217;s time to start the reinstallation process.
