Forums messed up. How do I delete MySQL data?

    I’ve got 7 forums all named the same due to an issue mentioned in another post.

    How do I remove all bbPress files from the mySQL database before installing bbPress again once it’s ready for PHP7.1?

    Is there a plugin which will do this?

    I’m running latest WordPress with php 7.0.19 and mySQL 5.6.35.

    That would work if I had bbPress installed. I had deleted it because it wouldn’t run on php7.1 or php7.0.19

    I’ll have to use phpmyadmin. Are wp_bp files all related to bbPress?

    Or does wp_bp refer to BuddyPress?

    If wp_bp refers to BuddyPress what bbPress files should I remove from mySQL?

    wp_bp is buddypress

    bbpress uses custom post types for forums, topics and replies, and various ‘options’ settings, then of course users have meta data.

    Quickest way would be to re-install and reactivate bbpress then use that to delete as above and then remove bbpress again. Much better than messing with sql tables

    Thanks Robin. I’ll do that when bbPress has been updated for php 7.1
