    Hi all,

    I was looking to recreate something like this: in wordpress. It’s basically a searchable database that was created in Wix, however I want to migrate to WordPress and don’t know how to set something like that up.

    Each result is presented in a specific template and that template repeated over and over. Anyone have any ideas how to do something like this in WordPress?

    You might be able to find a WP plugin that does something similar, though you could be near certain that your table schema will not match that of the plugin. You’d need to develop a data conversion script to import your data into a compatible format.

    The alternative is to import the table onto your WP DB as-is and create a custom page template that’s coded to handle everything. You can make table queries with the global $wpdb connection object. Custom templates like this are best contained in a child theme.
