Structure for displaying form data on pages

  • I’m new to WordPress and am looking to set up a site with an application form for subscribers (using Ninja Forms). I’d like some users (Authors, Editors and Admins) to be able to view and modify this data on front end pages.

    What’s the best structure / way to go about this? Should I develop a plugin or a child template or something else?

    Also, any tips or links to tutorials for getting started with displaying custom post data? It shouldn’t be too tough just to output basic form data (https://codex.www.ads-software.com/Displaying_Posts_Using_a_Custom_Select_Query) and I’m starting to grasp things but since I’m new to WP and PHP it seems like there’s a million functions which can be a bit overwhelming.

    Thanks in advance!

    Quick update: I decided to build a plugin. It’s going pretty well as I took a tutorial on Lynda.com and got a feel for the basics.

    For the structure, I think I’ll keep it real simple have an admin, public, and includes folder. I’ll have one shortcode for each wordpress page (just a few total) and keep most of my functions in an include/core-functions.php file.
