    Dear @grungyape,

    Due to personal circumstances, I am currently not able to answer your question. I’ll get in touch as soon as possible.

    Hope you understand,

    Hi @grungyape,

    It looks like you are using the Data Publisher for the first table and Data Projects for the second. Please note that these tools have different purposes. The Data Publisher is meant for (read-only) publications. Data Projects are meant for data management.

    A publication is usually styled correctly by itself when you put it on a web page. A Data Project is meant to run in the back-end. If you put it on a web page, you need to add additional styling. This is documented here:
    https://wpdataaccess.com/2020/12/07/styling-a-data-project/

    Please note that shortcode wpdadiehard has limitations if you use it on a web page. The premium version of the plugin supports Data Forms, which does not have these limitations. With the free version running Data Projects in the back-end gives more stability as well.

    Does this help?

    I am going to guess it is my ignorance on understanding how to use your plugin correctly.

    The final table display only needs to be read only, but it has to link two tables to get all of its data, the bottom table (Data Projects) is the same as the top, but this one is linking two tables to display and I thought that was what needed to be done based on a video I saw.

    If you’ll note, the top table is missing the department name, the bottom is not.

    To be 100% open, I am trying to give some co-workers of mine a reason to consider your plugin WP Data Access instead of using WP Data Tables. I believe you have more features we can use, but they seem stuck on how quickly they can output linked tables with default themes.

    I’m clearly struggling to properly use multiple tables for output.

    I will keep digging and see?what I can do.

    Hi @grungyape,

    If you want to join multiple tables, please consider to create a view and use your view in the Data Publisher. The plugin supports views just like tables. That if often be the simplest way to create a publication.

    Thanks for being so open! I like that! ??

    Does this help?
