 * Drop the ewwwio_images table, and remove everything with ‘ewww’ from the options
   table.

 * Then you’ll have to do that for each site. Not sure why it matters, the data 
   doesn’t get used if the plugin isn’t installed.

 * I installed this and then couldnt add media to posts. Have uninstalled and its
   still as if my media library is empty when I go to add images. The timer just
   keeps going round and round. Do I have to delete stuff from the server files 
   in the back end (dont know much about this type of thing)

 * If you’ve uninstalled EWWW IO, and still have problems, then EWWW IO wasn’t the
   problem. If you’re not convinced, delete the plugin (you can do this directly
   from the Plugins page if you haven’t already). Once the plugin is gone, it cannot
   affect your site at all.

 * Disable all plugins, then re-enable them one at a time. It obviously isn’t EWWW
   IO, but you will have a hard time tracking it down without disabling everything
   first.

 * Deactivated them all and still nothing, ewwwio is deleted too. Everything worked
   before installing ewwwio but maybe its just coincidence

 * OK problem solved. I downloaded WP 4.0 again and that shifted what ever was casing
   the issue. Maybe it was coincidence with installing EWWW IO.
    Also, I uninstalled
   it because i didnt have gifsicle and something else for PNG’s. Could I suggest
   you do a YouTube on how to install these? Thanks for all the replies and suggestions.

 * Unfortunately, optipng and gifsicle can vary too much to make a reliable video
   beyond what is in the installation instructions. If you have shell access, start
   a new thread for that issue, and I’ll see if I can walk you through it if you
   have problems.
