 some point to something valid.

 some cases it triggers the `Unknown column 'wp_' in 'field list' for query
 SELECT wp_` error, which should be silently discarded, not displayed to
 the user.

 Ahh I see. I'll have to revisit this then because I couldn't replicate the
 `wp_` prefix error, only with the `7e1_` prefix.
