I found this one. It is secure and very easy to create/modify tables and add/modify fields/ records without knowing SQL… I just love it. The table can be used as any other database table in wordpress (the table name you gave is just prefixed with “customtables_table_” and each row of the table is prefixed with “ct_”, all data can be accessed via $ wpdb… Data can be extracted and displayed using a PHP function. Perfect in my case. ![](https://secure.gravatar.com/avatar/fbbea320c0a15cbe348355ae261840757b7e7346ce53a3358cd6b84a5008e6ca? s=60&d=retro&r=g) ### 󠀁[Looking for a Simple Elegant Easy Soultion expandable](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/looking-for-a-simple-elegant-easy-soultion-expandable/)󠁿 [matn1](https://profiles.wordpress.org/matn1/) February 19, 2025 1 reply I have been looking for a Simple Elegant Easy Soultion expandable for custom tables and forms in mysql database and this so far is checking off all the boxes.
