I want to display my database on one page in a non-editable format but also display it in an editable format elsewhere on the same site. I do not see how to achieve this. Thanks.
- There could be a couple of ways to achieve this...
For example, if you want to make a duplicate table :
"Duplicate Option" 1. If you leave this unchecked - it will create an exact copy of this table which means all changes to the values made in one of the tables will be reflected in all copies(including the original).
but they will not reflect table settings or visual customizations.
( So, you will be able to set one as editable, and the other non-editable)
2. Checked - will create separate database table so changing one table won't affect other copies.
Each will have it's own shortcode, so you can place them wherever you need on your site.
-
Another way of achieving this, can be, for example, you can make the first table, but it has to be in the database, such as Manual type, SQL-based or table made by importing data(which turns it into a Manual table);
and then you can create a new table using an SQL Query to pull the data from that table. So it's the same result, depends on what is easier for you.

Let me know if this is what you needed to achieve, or if not, and if you have any more questions, don't hesitate to reach out for further assistance. Thanks.
