    Hello, I’ve been trying to figure out how the plugin works for a few days now and I just can’t seem to start. I have used table designer to create new tables in the wordpress database. In the designer tool, they’re all listed as created and in the right database. Now when I go to explorer (or when I try to select them in other tools like app builder or forms builder) they’re not listed anywhere.
    I’ve tried refreshing, clearing the cache, I have even disabled all other plugins, but they’re still not created.
    What am I doing wrong ?

  • There are two parts to creating a table. The designer defines the attributes of the table values. The table is not created in the database until you select the “Create Table” button. Then the actual table will show up in the explorer.

    Hi @palantir974,

    @hlsautter is correct. Thank you, Henry!

    Here’s a short demo just in case: https://share.zight.com/bLuQGK0r

    Hope this helps!

    I feel so dumb right now… Thank you very much.

    Though I’d say UI wise, the ‘create table design’ does seem a bit far away and not as highlighted as ‘save table design’. Given the fact that the other two buttons in between (Alter and drop table) are greyed out before I hit ‘create table’, my eyes were seeing this one greyed out as well.

    Sorry for the dumb question and thank you for you.

    Hi @palantir974,

    You’re welcome!

    Data Designer will be improved soon, and we’ll make sure to set up proper documentation for it too to help users.

    We appreciate your patience and for working with WP Data Access! ??
