We're Moving to a New Support Platform – Starting June 1st!

We’re excited to let you know that starting June 1st, we’ll be transitioning to a new support system that will be available directly on our product websites – Amelia, wpDataTables, and Report Builder. In fact, the new support platform is already live for Amelia and wpDataTables, and we encourage you to reach out to us there.

You'll always be able to reach us through a widget in the bottom right corner of each website, where you can ask questions, report issues, or simply get assistance.

While we still do not offer live support, a new advanced, AI-powered assistant, trained on our documentation, use cases, and real conversations with our team, is there to help with basic to intermediate questions in no time.

We're doing our best to make this transition smooth and hassle-free. After June 1st, this current support website will redirect you to the new "Contact Us" pages on our product sites.

Thanks for your continued support and trust – we’re excited to bring you an even better support experience!

    Hi all,

    Initial situation: I have a price list (products, description, price, etc.) in an external MySQL database. I would like to read the external DB (e.g. using an SQL statement) from an independent WordPress instance with GF and fill it into e.g. GF - dropdowns or other elements.

    Where the data are stored after submitting the complete form is secondary (WP or mySQL).

    Can one of your plug-in establish the connection between WP / GF and the mySQL-DB to address my requirements?

    Thanks for your support .....

    Hello Hansjürg

    Thank you for your interest in wpDataTables.

    The plugin can be connected to multiple databases, regardless if those databases are on the same server or not. If you can configure the setup so data is stored in your desired tables, you would be able to pull that into wpDataTables.

    Gravity Forms Integration for wpDataTables is a paid add-on, but it only works one way - it can create tables from existing Gravity Forms that contain at least one entry. Creating the Form from an existing table is not possible, so I don't believe what you're trying to achieve is possible with wpDataTables.

    Kind Regards,
