Last updated on September 25, 2022 @ 12:19 am

Database plugins can provide valuable information to WordPress users, but often that data is difficult to see or access. In this article, we’ll discuss how to display data from a database plugin in WordPress.

First, you’ll need to determine which database plugin you’re using. Once you have that information, you can begin to work on displaying the data.

To display data from a database plugin in WordPress, you’ll first need to install the plugin. After you have the plugin installed, you’ll need to activate it. Once the plugin is activated, you’ll need to create a plugin folder within your WordPress site.

Within that folder, you’ll need to create a file named “database.php”. Within that file, you’ll need to include the following code:.

connect(‘mysite.com’, ‘username’, ‘password’); // Select the database $db->select(‘wpdb’); ?>

After you have included the code above, you’ll need to create a loop that will iterate over the data in the wpdb database. Within that loop, you’ll need to include the following code:

// Get the records from the database $records = $db->query(‘SELECT * FROM wpdb.posts’);

Once you have the records from the database, you’ll need to display them in a widget. To do that, you’ll need to include the following code within the loop:

?>

After you have included the code above, you’ll need to include a stylesheet that will style the widget. To do that, you’ll need to include the following code within the loop:

?>

Finally, you’ll need to include a script that will initialize the widget. To do that, you’ll need to include the following code within the loop:

?>

After you have included the code above, you’re ready to display the data from the database plugin in WordPress.
