Fresh Install Still has Old Settings

[mattdustin]

Okay guys, simplest question ever here that I just can't figure out.

My theme is messed up, and I'm not sure why. A bunch of little things are displaying wrong, when it was working fine for a long time.

I've been trying hard to fix everything, but decided to just do a fresh install since my customizations are very simple.

I switched to a different theme, deleted Altitude Pro from my themes menu, and re-installed a fresh download of it from Studiopress. When I installed/activated, my theme still had a lot of my old settings, and still has errors.

How can I do a real, fresh installation without deleting all of my content?

You've got to be a little more specific. What little things aren't displaying correctly? Without further details, we'd only be guessing at one or more of dozens of solutions. Please give one or two examples with links to the pages that display the issue.

Theme settings and options are stored in the database - not theme files. This is standard for all WordPress themes.

Reinstalling doesn't fix or change anything except corrupt files.

Genesis has a "reset settings" button on the Genesis Settings page.

Widgets and Menus are changed on their respective wp-admin pages.
