    Hello everyone!
    Please help me with a question. What plugins can be used to implement the following scheme on a website:

    1. On the first web page, the user enters data into the fields (see figure 1).
    2. The data is saved in a database.
    3. Data is taken from the database and shown in a table on the second web page (see second figure).

    Is it possible to somehow create a form (similar to the one shown in the first picture), or connect existing ones (there are many plugins in WordPress that offer the creation of forms) with a database so that data is entered through the form (into the fields on page 1)?

    There are custom form plugins that will maintain submitted data in a table, but the table is only in the admin area AFAIK, typically not a front end page. But as long as the data is saved in the DB, a custom front end page could query for it and display as appropriate.

    There are custom fields plugins that make it relatively easy to output field data on the front end, but the input side of things is in the admin area.

    I’m not aware of anything that does every thing on the front end. I’m not knowledgeable about every plugin available, they still might exist. I’d say a form plugin with a custom front end page would be the simplest solution given what I know is available.

    Thanks for the answer! Maybe you can suggest some tables and contact forms to try?

    I don’t have a lot of experience with custom forms plugins. I’m fortunate to have adequate coding skills to build my own forms without any plugin. To be clear, I am not trying to solicit any work here, that would be against our forum guidelines. I can tell you that both Formidable and Forminator are very popular.

    For similar reasons, I have even less experience with table building plugins. I will say that tables can be problematic with responsive design. Complex tables don’t work well on mobiles. If you can fit all of your columns on a sideways mobile screen and still have each cell be large enough to be readable it’s workable if not ideal. But you shouldn’t have any sticky headers taking up space if you expect mobile users to turn their mobiles sideways. Ideally all table columns would fit across a narrow, vertical mobile screen.

    Well, unfortunately I have zero programming skills, so I’ll have to use plugins. Thank you very much for the tips! I’ll try to make a good looking table. I hope it works out
