    I’m not a wordpress developer, but REST API plugins I’ve read so far, yours included mentions using CRUD operations on Posts, Pages, Tags, and other stuff of that nature.

    For my application I want to develop, I don’t care to use any of that. Instead, 90% of my interaction with the DB will be on custom tables and content.

    Could I use this plugin to create CRUD operations on my custom content?

    Yes, you could use the WP REST API for CRUD operations on a custom database table.

    There are at least a couple of considerations to be aware of:

    1. Doing so will require a moderate to substantial amount of development effort.
    2. You’ll need to re-implement much of WordPress’ capabilities system, to ensure your data is only being modified by authorized users.

    Hi, Daniel. I’m faced with the same problem, too.
    Can you provide a short manual/tutorial on this subject?

    Sorry, that’s outside our scope of free support for the plugin.
