I downloaded and installed the plugin. Activated, no problem.
When configuring the settings, all of the fields are visible (and initially blank) down to setting the “Dashboard Widget or Admin Page” option.
Below that, it says “Can’t Select Database”, followed by several WordPress diagnostic tips. The “Save Changes” button isn’t visible.
So, I can’t save any of the “Database Settings” fields.
This seems like kind of a chicken-and-egg problem. I can’t save the setup info unless it can access the database, but I can’t access the database unless I’ve already saved the setup info.
I’m probably doing something wrong. This seems like the same question that “bowfins1” asked many months ago, but that thread was closed without any info about how it was fixed.
]]>The instance of Edit Any Table on my site will not show the edit and delete buttons on the records. The plugin has full access to the database both in a password sense and a settings sense. I am using WordPress 4.7.3 and the database is a simple structure as listed:
mr_gideons_cards_inventory
Column Type Null Default Comments
Description varchar(50) No
ItemNumber varchar(10) No
Quantity int(5) No
OrderLot int(5) No
Cost decimal(10,0) No
This is a link to an image of the settings page and the save/update button disappeared. Any way to get that back so I can finalize the settings? The other save button issues in previous threads seem to be once the connection works. I can’t get past this screen.
I have tried unloading and reloading the plugin with no luck. latest versions of plugin and WP being used.
]]>Hi, after connection I can select a very small list of tables. In this case I need media tables, but however next time other tables could be useful.

]]>We had an administrator (who is no longer with us) setup the editanytable for us to manage our MySQL vendor database listings. We have a field for a long description, and the process given to us at the time was to include a block of   in the text between paragraphs before pasting the copy into the field and updating the record. I’m afraid I’m not very technical, but I assume there must be a simpler process than editing copy to include these HTML tags? (we also do it to remove the \ striplashes problem)
Our new tech team is suggesting another plugin, but I’d like to stay with the editanytable. Can you suggest a simpler process for paragraph breaks?
Thanks.
]]>I need to view the table data in descending order. Is there any way to do it ?
]]>This looks like a promising plugin.
And as I read elsewhere, you can connect to any database because you can provide the access details.
Could you be so kind as to implement a setting (switch?) that enables to connect to the local WP database without the need to re-enter the wp-config settings? Please also in such a way that it is not showing the connection details as I would like to keep them hidden.
That would make life so much easier when starting to use the plugin.
It would also make it much easier to transfer the implementation from a development server to a live site which has other credentials.
]]>I’ve got the latest wordpress installed (4.2.2) and I can retrieve records from the table, but can’t do anything because there are no Save or Delete buttons to take action. The table is real simple with only 3 columns, 365 rows.

If this is an easy fix post the code line(s) and include in your next release at your leisure.

]]>Hi,
Wordpress is V4.1-en_AU & Edit Any Table is 2.1.1
I’m attempting to use Edit Any Table to change the site ID. Database & WordPress are on a local windows server. I’ve entered localhost as the server name (which is in wp-config.php, database, username, password as per wp-config.php, however I have this message Unable to connect to your external database on the configuration page. I also tried the local IP address of the server but that also doesn’t work.
How do I connect to the database to enable me to change the site ID please?

]]>Hello,
When I edit a table, I display 10 rows but I can’t save all my modifications at the same time. It only save the columns where I clicked “Save”.
Would it be possible to have a button that “Save all modifications” ?
I have a varchar field that has a default value set but this text value does not show up in edit-any-table. If I open the table to insert a row in phpmyadmin the value auto fills in for that field.
Is there a way to make a default value fill in for a field in edit-any-table?
]]>The sentence
Edit any Table displays best in a one column layout. If you are using more than one column you may want to change how some elements are displayed

]]>Hi I love your plugin.
But when i want to add or modify a record that has a single quote like this: “Sally’s Bag”
It gets stored like this: “Sally\’s Bag”.
so when we look at the record after the edit we get : Sally\’s Bag AND NOT Sally’s Bag
For now we have to go in PHPmyadmin to fix it manually.
I have a little database table where the first field = index and auto_increment and 2 records (testing).
In Edit any table when I’m listing the database with 2 records with Open–>Find I get 2 boxes with beneath two options DELETE OR SAVE. The SAVE Functions operates well, but the DELETE function gives an error at line 1. (Unable to delete record)
DELETE from tarieven where index=2.
phpMyAdmin – 2.11.11.3
MySQL client version: 5.1.73
Edit any table : 2.0.1
What I’m doing wrong?
]]>I can see tables and even add records but “find” never finds anything, always returns “no results found”
]]>I have a simple table with a primary key on a unique text field. To my surprise, one of our users needed to change the value in this field, but in Edit Any Table it is not editable (the other fields are editable).
This is a great plugin (thank you!), but it would be a big help if editing this field could be enabled.
]]>Hello,
Well, so as the title says, I’ve set up the plugin and see my tables just fine, including its entries when searching. But I don’t have any save or delete button on any table, not even the WP ones (unlike kseni14’s thread, because my primary keys are here).
I’ve just upgraded to WP 3.9 right before installing the plugin, would this have something to do with it?
Thanks.
]]>I’m new here, so maybe what I’m going to ask is rather silly, but…how to you edit the entries from a table after a search? I mean, I’ve configured the database, introduced the correct information (the name of the tables display in the widged) but when I search in tables *I* created, it returns the results but there is no “save” or “delete” button at the bottom (as it is showed in the screen captures); so actually I can only use it to look at the already created DB entries or create a new one, but cannot modify. Which was all the point because MyPHPadmin still confuses me and I wanted to find another way to work with existing tables and entries.
The strange thing, is that the button appears when I open one of the WordPress created tables (for instantance, wp_users) so I can modify those. At the beggining I thought it was because of the type, but I changed them to VARCHAR (string) and still nothing.
Any help would be really appreciated!
]]>Is it possible me (a novice of php) to add a Date Picker function to this plugin when fields types are “date”?
]]>I just added this plugin after messing around with myPHP for way too long. I’m so new to dealing with this and have no background other than using technology.
When it asks for the “host”, what is it looking for? What login? what pass?
I know we are hosted by liquidweb, but I don’t know if it wants the cpanel information, liquidweb or the actually database. So far I have tried all three with no success.
Thanks for the help!
