 * I’m running your plugin Blogger Imported Extended and thanks, find it very useful!
 * I deleted all posts manually, ran the importer again but plugins marks posts 
   as completed.How to delete posts from the database?
 * I just want to run the import again from zero.
    Thanks in advance

 * Hi Yolanda,
 * the plugin stores some informations in order to remeber the status of the import,
   you can run this query to delete these:
 * DELETE FROM `wp_options` WHERE `option_name` LIKE ‘bie_status_%’;
 * Note: your `wp_options` table could have a different prefix
 * Best regards

 * Thanks yurifari,
 * Would like to ask what to do if the plugin displays the timeout message before
   all the tasks are done? It seems it doesn’t complete all tasks, only posts.

 * First of all, thanks to the author for such wonderful plugin! It is extremely
   useful.
 * I have a question: Using this plugin, I had imported all the entries, then deleted
   all to re-import due to some changes. The entries are somehow stuck somewhere
   and I don’t know what exactly to use in this code. What is the wp_options and
   option_name that I need to enter in the following? And after doing that, do I
   copy/paste the same at the end of the code in this plugin? On researching some
   place mentioned I need a table name. I don’t know what that is and where to find
   it.
 * LETE FROM wp_options WHERE option_name LIKE ‘bie_status_%’;
 * Thank you in advance.

 * Hi,
    I also need to be able to do this- but I’m not sure where exactly to run
   the query?

 * Any idea when you’ll be updating the plugin to have this functionality built 
   it? (to delete and redo import).
 * I don’t have access to the database and can’t run the query.
 * Thanks!

 * There are plugins out there that can restore the WordPress Database to it’s original
   form & structure.
 * But use them carefully.
 * This is for the people that are afraid to go ahead and run the query in the phpMy
   Admin panel.
