 * Well, I was doing some maintenance (repurposing a site) and deleted WooCommerce
   from the plugins list, this caused a 500 error and I had to rename the plugins
   folder via FTP and name it back again to disable all plugins, I then deleted 
   WooCommerce as I had originally intended, re-enabled all my other plugins and
   got back to work.
 * Fast-forward 10 minutes, I check to see if everything still works on the front-
   end, it does with the exception of the blog posts, the /blog/ slug they previously
   had (added through Permalinks like so: /blog/%postname%/) now rename/redirect
   themselves to /blogs/ and I get 404 errors on them.
    If I remove the /blog bit
   from the permalink it works fine, but I need the slug there to differentiate 
   posts and pages (and to justify spending 2 hours styling the blog archive page).
 * Has anyone ever encountered a problem like this before, know what I have done
   wrong or know how I can fix this?
