Hi, Howard 

Thanks for reaching out to us

Sorry for the delay, we don't work on weekends.

-

As the custom posts/fields, are a part of the WordPress database;

pulling this data can only be done through MySQL query-based tables.

Please note: Using this plugin feature requires at least a basic knowledge of SQL. It is assumed that you can create the table in some MySQL data manager (e.g., PHPMyAdmin, MySQL Workbench), and prepare a SQL query that will return the data you need. 

A good way to achieve this can be experimenting using our WPDB SQL Query Constructor tool.

- Please note: this tool is not an ultimate query generator. It simply constructs a suggestion of a query. We are constantly working to improve it, but SQL is such a complicated and flexible language that full automation for constructing queries is next to impossible. 

Consequently, the more complicated the query, the higher is the probability that it will not return exactly what you need. So, you will often need to play around with the resulting query.

Please be advised that writing custom SQL Queries or debugging Queries does not fall under what our support covers.

You can check out this official page of WP codex,  for help with writing custom Queries.

Hi, Howard 

And i just forgot to add,

you can try out the full features of wpDataTables before purchasing on our sandbox Demo sites ( you can find links for the main plugin Demo as well as add-on Demos, in my signature),

and there is a 15-day money-back guarantee period, 

so if you purchase the plugin, you can safely fully test it out, and if it doesn't fit your needs you can request and receive a refund in that period. ( same goes for all plugins and add-ons)

- You can also try the SQL Query Constructor on our Custom Post Types on our Demo Database,

you can also connect if you have your database, by adding an external DB connection to our Demo ( if your DB is on a live server, not localost)

Let me know if you have any additional questions.
