Clean Slate: To Do or Not To Do?
Permalink 1 user found helpful
Hi everyone,
I have been playing with concrete5 now since January, installing, editing and changing many themes and add-ons, both paid for and free. The question is, now that I have a firm visualization of my needs, I realise that most of the themes and a lot of the addons that I have installed are not needed.
Would it be a good idea to do a complete delete and install only what I will be using.
The reason that I ask this question is that I wondered if just installing and having available these addons, without actually using them, would effect the maintenance of my site and the way that google would perceive it(ie additional code flying around). Could this also be a consideration for speed???
If this has already been covered a point in the right direction would be much appreciated.
TIA to all you wizards.

If you've modified the code of your addons or the core /concrete directory it'd probably be better to start fresh, just so upgrades will go smoothly.
Thanks Ryan,
Do you know if there is a big Red reset button, and will c5 know that I have purchased addons and allow me to reinstall?

sorry, there is no big reset button ;)
c5 will remember your addons ;)
all you need to do is delete your /config/site.php
and clear your db,
delete the packages you dont want out of /packages
clear the cache: /files/cache and /cache_objects also delete anyting that starts with numbers
