I am starting from scratch, building out a database to be part of a website. I&#8217;m using the App Wizard.<br \/>* I input all the App info (all original info)<br \/>* It asks me to select a database (the support docs give no info on which I should use or how to create a new one, this is question #1)<br \/>* It asks me to select a table (the support docs give no info on how to create a new table to begin with, this is question #2).<br \/><br \/>If I skip this and start with &#8220;Tables&#8221; &#8220;Create a New Table&#8221; it asks me similar questions about Database and Table\/view Name, and I&#8217;m not sure what settings to select\/create there, either. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Is there an obvious support link I&#8217;m missing\/not showing up? Or am I missing some obvious step I should be aware of? I&#8217;m quite comfortable working with tables but I don&#8217;t want to damage my brand new website by selecting existing things that have nothing to do with my table I want to create. Any help would be greatly appreciated!!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">-Mike<\/p>\n","protected":false},"template":"","class_list":["post-18248441","topic","type-topic","status-publish","hentry","topic-tag-how-to","topic-tag-tables"],"jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/wordpress.org\/support\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/topic\/18248441","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/wordpress.org\/support\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/topic"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/wordpress.org\/support\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/topic"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/wordpress.org\/support\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/topic\/18248441\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/wordpress.org\/support\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=18248441"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
