    Hi there

    I have a database with data I want to display, a running WordPress website, and an installed “Exports and Reports” plugin.
    Is there any tutorial that can help me to understand how to use the
    Exports and Reports plugin? I can’t figure out how to display on myhome page the example page reports and example post reports.

    This plugin is not meant for the front of the site, it’s definitely admin-focused.

    Exports and Reports enables admins to create reports that can be viewed and then exported, based on data aggregated from the database. The report can be filtered, sorted, and has built-in pagination handling.

    Also, there are no videos that I’m aware of, I just never had the time to put any together.

    @boitetrash You can of course:

    1. Create a report (setup).
    2. Create a front-end page that imports json.
    3. Run the report as an Admin from the WP Admin Dashboard and export it as json. You will need to be sure to choose your own unique file identifier for the json file so it will always be the same.

    This will allow site users/members to view the latest report that was run by an admin. (Obviously, no guarantee the data will always be up-to-date but, you could use a smidge of PHP to get the date/time of the json file, and display it at the top of your front-end page along with the data.)

    Or you can take advantage of the REST API in WP 4.4 and add a custom endpoint through that way.
