 * I’m going to be showing some people how to test themes soon. In preparation, 
   I imported the theme unit test file into a new WordPress site. I wanted to be
   sure they would be able to delete those pages and posts when they were done with
   them, so I deleted the users that came in with the file, and removed everything
   they owned rather than assigning to another user. That seemed to work.
 * Then, I wanted to go in and take a practice walk through some themes. I wanted
   to access the theme unit test data again, so I tried to reimport it. The categories,
   tags, and users reimport, but I get errors that the posts and pages already exist.
   I guess they’re in the database but I can’t see them through the WordPress dashboard.
 * Is it possible to remove that data completely so it can be reimported, or is 
   there some other way of making the posts visible through the WordPress dashboard
   again?

 * One solution would be to bring the whole wp installation back to its defaults
   using a plugin like this [https://wordpress.org/plugins/wordpress-reset/](https://wordpress.org/plugins/wordpress-reset/)
 * Keep in mind that this plugin will delete ALL user generated content (when you
   run it, it’s like installing a fresh copy of WordPress)
