    Hi,

    Being a theme/plugin developer, I would like to know about following capabilities:

    1. Create a custom data table through theme/plugin code without actually going through the Table Creation (UI) process, so that when my client installs my theme/plugin the required wpDataTables are pre created. (or any alternate method to automate table creation)
    2. Create a separate dashboard menu item/page to allow Admin user to CRUD wpDataTables data. Say for example my theme uses 3 custom tables so, I would like to provide 3 Admin dashboard pages to manage table data separately/individually for each table. (I know, my users can navigate to Dashboard > wpDataTables > wpDataTables > Edit Data/Edit in Excel-like Editor). The reason I ask this is because, most of my clients are non-tech and I would not like them to mess around with table config/settings.
    3. Please point me to an example that shows a way to read/query the wpDataTables data in my theme/plugin code. If possible, I would like to select and loop through wpDataTables data to create dynamic Radio Buttons or dropdown select options within my custom input forms. 

    Thank you and Congrats for creating this wonderful and practica plugin!

    Hi joy,
    Thank you for your interest in wpdatatables.

    Unfortunately, at the moment we don't have such integration with themes. It is not possible with built in features for make table out of table wizard in wpdatatables.

    You can take a look in our documentation about Actions and Filters which are defined in wpDataTables plugin for customization's by developers.

    Best regards.

    Kind Regards, 

    Isidora Markovic
