Works well as it is intended. However, it breaks the media library and Gravity Forms(
doesn’t permit new forms to be entered.) Deactivating brings these functions back.

I’ve had trouble today loading the Thrive Apprentice page editor and the TA control
panel. I’ve tracked it down to this plugin. I notice it isn’t tested with the latest
version of WP. Might need a little tweaking…?!?

### 󠀁[Great alternative to phpMyAdmin](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/great-alternative-to-phpmyadmin/)󠁿

Usually I troubleshoot databases using phpMyAdmin, but this week I’m helping someone
with a site whose hosting doesn’t give me access to that. I need to see raw DB contents,
and wasn’t looking forward to writing a bunch of custom PHP/MySQL queries. Then 
I found this plugin. Thank you for writing it. What a time saver. Obviously it’s
doesn’t have nearly as many features as phpMyAdmin, and I’m fine with that. This
is a great, simple way inspect (and apparently update) the WP DB.

### 󠀁[works great, would like help with joins](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/works-great-would-like-help-with-joins/)󠁿

 [magdamunro](https://profiles.wordpress.org/magdamunro/) April 12, 2017

Works great, if a little crudely for some. Being able to get some help building 
simpler table joins would be really nice.
