What's the best way to create data entry forms? (1 post)

    Hello - I am trying to create a form, hopefully within the WordPress interface, that will allow for my client to do data entry directly into a mapping database table that another consultant created. I would love for this form to have a couple of WYSIWYG editors and dropdowns.

    I have never created such a form before, and definitely not in WordPress. I spent some time with custom field plugins last night. Advanced Custom Fields seemed to have the user interface functionality that I want, but it seems to only be able to write to the wp_postmeta table.

    How should I go about this? Is there a way to write directly to the table that I want? Can I alter an existing plugin to meet my needs, or do I need to create my own? Is it easier / better to just make this as a webform seperate from the WP backend?
