    Can someone tell me where plugins or themes store their data?
    (Not sure if you would ever need to store data for a theme)

    I’m trying to figure out how to do something with a plugin – but need to store data somewhere

    For example, the data would be an array of numbers, each of which would contain further number – i.e. a multi dimensional array

    I would assume it wouldn’t be in the plugin directory itself?
    Else, future upgrades might cause a problem??

    Thanks

    i believe the plugin usually store them in wordpress option (mysql table name wp_options). a plugin / themes developer encourage to save their plugin setting in this table.

    no, if the developer follow the right direction.
