• Just a heads up: I couldn’t figure out why a product page was crashing Chrome, taking 15 seconds to load in Safari, and taking a few seconds to load in Firefox. Furthermore, clicking Update to save the page redirected me to /wp-admin/edit.php instead of returning to the edit screen for that product, and changes weren’t being saved. I discovered a row in my wp_posts table, wo_di_video_product_videos, that contained 7,864,389 backslashes (“\”). No, that’s not me typing some random large number; that was the actual count. Deleting this row made the page load in just a second and restored my ability to actually save changes to a product. Since the plugin had been deleted long ago, I went ahead and deleted the rest of the wo_di_video_product_videos and wo_di_number_of_videos rows. Now my database is smaller and my site loads faster, front and back end. Ahhh I can breathe again. Hope this helps!
