    How to edit the content of an existing table linked to a CSV file?
    Have to edit or replace the CSV file each time?
    Is there another way for creating a table that is editable?

    Thanks.

    Hello John.

    When you create a table linked to an existing data source, the plugin reads the data from the CSV file, and displays it in the table. Tables created this way are not editable, so you would need to edit the file in ../wp-content/uploads/YEAR/MONTH/ folder. After you edit the file, the change will be seen in the table.

    Editable tables are server-side tables (manual tables, tables created by importing the existing data source and SQL Query based tables), but those features are not included in the Lite version of the plugin. Also, when you import the file to create the editable table, the wpDataTable will be editable, but changes in it will not be seen in the source file, or vice-versa.

    Kind regards.
