Reset all terminal behavior, UI preferences, and guest-mode settings to default.

If the terminal is behaving unexpectedly, or you made changes and want to go back to the original configuration, you can safely reset your settings.

This article explains:

• what settings the terminal uses
• where they are stored
• how to reset them manually
• how to fix corrupted or mismatched settings

---

🔹 1. Where Terminal Settings Are Stored #

All terminal settings are stored in WordPress options, not in usermeta or postmeta.

The key is:

cointacted_social_terminal_settings

Inside this option, the plugin stores:

• login URL
• register URL
• scroll behavior
• guest mode setting
• save-wallet-to-usermeta switch
• command content (social, brand, links, etc.)

Add-ons may store their own settings separately.

---

🔹 2. Reset Settings From the Admin Panel #

If the terminal is misconfigured:

1. Go to
   WP Admin → Cointacted → General Settings
2. Review each field
3. Restore them manually to defaults

Factory Defaults: #

Setting	Default
Login URL	/wp-login.php
Register URL	empty
Scroll behavior	Scrollable inside the terminal
Guest mode	OFF (visitors cannot use safe commands)
Save last wallet to usermeta	OFF

Command content settings (social, brand, legal, menu, etc.) are empty by default.

---

🔹 3. Hard Reset (Delete the Settings Option) #

If settings are corrupted or broken, delete the settings option entirely.

Option A — using WP-CLI: #

wp option delete cointacted_social_terminal_settings

Option B — using a plugin: #

Use plugins like:

• WP Reset
• Advanced Database Cleaner
• Option Optimizer
• phpMyAdmin via hosting panel

Search for:

cointacted_social_terminal_settings

Delete it → the plugin will recreate it automatically with default values.

---

🔹 4. Reset Command Content (Menus, Links, Brand Info) #

If the command content is misconfigured, go to:

WP Admin → Cointacted → Commands

Click “Reset” (if available), or simply clear the fields.

Defaults:

• Social links → empty
• Brand → empty
• Contact → empty
• Links → empty
• Support → empty
• Legal → empty
• Company → empty
• Menu → empty
• Fortune → empty
• Quotes → empty

If fields contain malformed entries (e.g. missing colon, invalid URL), commands may behave incorrectly.

---

🔹 5. Reset Guest Mode & Permissions #

If commands act differently between logged-in and logged-out users:

1. Go to
   Cointacted → General Settings
2. Toggle:

Allow logged-out visitors to use safe commands

Turn it off → save → turn it on (optional) → save.

This refreshes permission flags.

---

🔹 6. Reset User-Specific Data #

Each logged-in user may have:

• last connected wallet (if enabled)
• last login time (core WordPress)
• usermeta values used by add-ons (optional)

To clear the wallet stored in usermeta:

Go to:

Users → Select User → Custom Fields (if visible)

Delete:

cointacted_last_wallet

Or reset programmatically:

delete_user_meta($user_id, 'cointacted_last_wallet');

(Not required for normal operation.)

---

🔹 7. Reset Terminal Output & Command History #

History resets automatically when:

• you refresh the page
• you navigate away and back
• you close the tab
• the terminal reloads after a settings change

You do not need to delete anything manually.

---

🔹 8. Reset by Reinstalling the Plugin #

If all else fails:

1. Deactivate the plugin
2. Delete the plugin
3. Install it again from your ZIP
4. Reactivate

This does not delete settings unless you manually remove the option.

If you want a full reset, delete the option first.
