 * Hi there,
 * I am currently trying to use this plugin to create a page a user can edit the
   values from a databse in.
 * In a page (to be found at [http://zzdomain_namezz.com/data_ukhaul/](http://zzdomain_namezz.com/data_ukhaul/)),
   I have used the shortcode:
 * `[cdbt-edit table="zzdb_table_namezz" entry_page="data_ukhaul" exclude_cols="
   ID,created,updated"]`
 * The table displays the data just fine BUT only a delete option is available, 
   the option/button for users to edit the data in any particular row is missing.
 * Can you help?
 * cheers

 * Thank you for your inquiry.
 * In order to enable the editing button at shortcodes of [cdbt-edit], there must
   be another page that is embedded a shortcode of [cdbt-entry].
    Then, an “entry_page”
   attribute in the shortcode of [cdbt-edit] must have post_id or post_name of its
   page (was embedded a shortcode of [cdbt-entry]). Yet an “entry_page” attribute
   is optional from plugin version 1.1.14. So that attribute does not have to specified.
 * Please ie try the following responses:
    - You create a post that `[cdbt-entry table="zzdb_table_namezz"]` is described
      in the post body.
    - You change the current shortcode to `[cdbt-edit table="zzdb_table_namezz" 
      exclude_cols="ID,created,updated"]`
 * Please try as above.
