 * Hi – plugin looks great!
 * Is there an option to create a TablePress table with data from a table that lives
   within the WordPress database, but is not part of the core installation tables.
   Sort of like a CRUD builder where I can provide the database credentials, and
   the table is automatically built.

 * Sorry Tobias – I just saw a previous answer on the CRUD.
    Not quite what I was
   looking for, but table press still looks great.

 * Hi,
 * thanks for your question, and sorry for the trouble.
 * Yes, TablePress can indeed only be used with its own tables, but not with e.g.
   mySQL database tables. Sorry 🙁
 * Best wishes,
    Tobias

 * interestingly, I have been thinking of writing a plugin to import some data from
   a separate mysql table into TablePress table for a better user interface. TablePress
   is great to present data as a table.
