No interface and poor instructions (no FAQ)

  • Lost like 5-10 minutes to even search for the interface or where to find a menu item for this plugin. When heading to the description site, again nothing described where menu item should be found etc. Not thought through/documented well.

    Did you read the Readme file or wp-db-table-editor description page?

    Use of this plugin requires a basic knowledge of PHP, and SQL. It was written by a programmer to help accomplish his work and does not currently provide admin configuration screens (instead simple function calls in your theme’s functions file are used to configure the screens). This was preferable to me, because my configuration is safely in source control (a problem I had when DB-toolkit would upgrade and lose all configuration).

    There is no interface intentionally. I can understand that this may not be what you are looking for, but giving a 1-star rating to a plug-in for not being what it is not, doesn’t seem like what the rating system is for.

    Additionally the paragraph under the “Installation” documentation is:

    Adding an interface

    DB-Table Editor Interfaces are added by calling the add_db_table_editor function in your theme’s functions.php file. This supports wp_parse_args style arguments.

    If you can suggest any other way in which, I might be able to get folks to see this information, please let me know.
