WP Data Access is a WordPress data administration and publication tool that helps you to manage your Wordpress data and database.

NEW - Create WordPress data apps that run in the WordPress dashboard. Supports standard CRUD functionality as well as parent-child forms and static pages.

Menus for generated list tables can be added to your WordPress dashboard, plugin or theme with or without coding.

== Installation ==
(1) Upload the WP Data Access plugin to your blog, (2) activate it and (3) navigate to the WP Data Access menu.
1, 2, 3 and you’re done!

== Documentation ==
Documentation was moved to the plugin and can now be accessed directly from the plugins menu (WP Data Access > Plugin Help).

Developers who are interested in using the plugins PHP classes can generate the API documentation as follows:
1) Start your command line interface
2) Move to the plugins root directory
3) Enter: composer update (this will install phpdocumentor and all its necessary dependencies)
4) Enter: php vendor/phpdocumentor/phpdocumentor/bin/phpdoc.php (this will generate the plugins API documentation in subfolder named docs)
5) Move to the docs subfolder and open the file index.html in your browser

Note
The documentation is currently not up to date. Sorry! I have to get to that. I just like programming more... ;-)
