    I have a table full of mortgage rates and want to show a row at the top of the best rate (or lowest rate) from each column, here is the page I am currently doing this and the page I am trying to re-create it in my new wordpress site:

    Old Site: https://www.lowestratecanada.com/canada-mortgage-rates
    New Site: https://new.lowestratecanada.com/rates/

    I also want to be able to pull this rate data and post it on many other websites that I manage but only update this one table. I have done this in the past using MySQL and PHP but converting all my old sites to WordPress and having trouble getting this to work. I am clearly not advanced in this type of code. Is this possible using the TablePress plugin? On the old website I used code like this…

    <?php
    mysql_connect(“mysql”, “ratesheetdb”, “RSdata!!692”) or die(“Can not connect.”);
    mysql_select_db(“ratesheet”) or die (“Can not find database.”);
    ?>

    $variable_sql = “SELECT * FROM rates_main WHERE variable_rate != ” && variable_rate != ‘-‘ ORDER BY variable_rate ASC LIMIT 1″;
    $variable_result = mysql_query($variable_sql);
    $variable_row = mysql_fetch_object($variable_result);

    <? echo $variable_row->variable_rate; ?>

    This worked great in my old designs but can’t get it to work within my new wordpress designs so trying to use TablePress to recreate this?

    Hi,

    thanks for your question, and sorry for the trouble.

    Depending on how big your tables are, this might work, but it will need custom PHP programming as well.
    Therefore, as you have already set up everything in mySQL, I would suggest to stick with that.

    Regards,
    Tobias
