Custom Tables in WordPress
Details
While the default WordPress database schema is perfect for most content related data types, there may be instances where you need to create custom tables in a WordPress database. One example of this is when a plugin has a specific use case that extends beyond what the custom post type functionality of WordPress offers.
In this session, we will look at what you need to know to create and manage custom WordPress database tables, how to create and interact with these tables, and some maintenance considerations.
If you want to work with me during this session, you will need the following:
- Access to a local WordPress install
- A text editor to edit WordPress files.
- (Optional) A way to access your local database.
I will be using Visual Studio Code as my code editor for the workshop.

This session is being held at an EU/Africa/US Eastern-friendly time. If you cannot get to the live session, keep an eye out for the recording we’ll be publishing on WordPress.tv and learn.wordpress.org after the session is completed :-)
See you soon!
