## FAQ

### How Do I Reset ASE Settings / Configuration?

If for whatever reason you need to remove ASE and reset the settings / configuration,
please follow these steps:

 1. Access your website via FTP and delete ASE plugin folder at /wp-content/plugins/
    admin-site-enhancements/
 2. Login to your site via the default URL, /wp-admin/ or /wp-login.php
 3. Install [SQL Buddy](https://wordpress.org/plugins/sql-buddy/) plugin, open it, 
    and click on the wp_options table
 4. Use the small filter icon at the top of wp_options table rows, and filter for “
    option_name” => “contains” => “admin_site_enhancements”. You should get 3 options.
    Click on each one and hit the “Delete” icon in the bottom-right corner.
 5. Re-install and re-configure ASE as needed.

You can skip step 1 and 2 if you still have access to your wp-admin dashboard.

### Does ASE Work With Multisite?

ASE does not officially support multisite. Please use at your own risk. That said,
several users have reported that it works fine on their multisite when activated
on each sub-site and not through network activation.

### 󠀁[Awesome But Add Script control for specific Pages](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/awesome-but-add-script-control-for-specific-pages/)󠁿

 [Underscore Sab](https://profiles.wordpress.org/underscoresab/) April 14, 2026

I use ASE on every single site I build for the optimization and control it provides.
It does a fantastic job of giving us the core functionality that WordPress honestly
should have included by default. ​However, I find myself still needing to install
additional plugins specifically for Script Control (enabling/disabling scripts and
styles on a per-page basis). This feels counterproductive; adding another plugin
just to manage scripts introduces more overhead, which is exactly what we’re trying
to avoid when optimizing a site for peak performance. ​Please consider adding a 
Script Control module to ASE. Having the ability to control exactly where scripts
and code blocks load would make ASE the ultimate “all-in-one” tool for developers.​
Keep up the great work, this plugin is already a vital part of my workflow. Trying
to Grab attention of Admin and Site Enhancements Developers . Thanks .
