 * We have a Data Tables error consistently returned on WooCommerce products and
   a couple of general server errors returned whilst in the WP dashboard which do
   not follow an obvious pattern at the moment.
    (It started when my laptop crashed
   whilst editing a Woo Product.)
 * Rebuilding the shop from scratch would not be onerous at the moment, nor restoring
   the whole site from a backup be excessively disruptive. So …
 * 1) Would deleting the WooCommerce plugin and reinstalling it be likely to help?
   
   2) If we restored the whole site, would it be beneficial to restore EVERYTHING,
   or would restoring the SQL database alone be viable?

 * 1. No.
 * 2. Start with the DB.
 * A crash on your laptop should not have corrupted anything on the server. Did 
   you try repairing your database? [https://www.a2hosting.com.co/kb/cpanel/cpanel-database-features/optimizing-and-repairing-mysql-databases-with-phpmyadmin](https://www.a2hosting.com.co/kb/cpanel/cpanel-database-features/optimizing-and-repairing-mysql-databases-with-phpmyadmin)
