Theme settings saved as theme_mod will be reset.

Why did the plugin not reset a particular setting?

  2. Setting is using option type for storing values

Is reset reversible?

Yes, if you use “Backup & Reset”! The plugin now offers a backup feature that stores your settings for 30 days. Use the “Backup & Reset” button to automatically create a backup before resetting.

If you use the regular “Reset” button without backup, the action is irreversible and you’ll need to redo all modifications from scratch.

doesn't work with Divi

that was a waste of 3 minutes

Works great. No set-up required.

By Clarus Dignus on April 12, 2020

Once installed, a "reset" button is added to the top of the customizer sidebar (to the left of the "save" button). Reliable plugin. Great convenience.
