 * We would like to be able to query a MySQL database on another system, not part
   of a WP installation, and display the results within our WP installation. Is 
   this something WP phpMyAdmin can do? We have looked at other plugins that say
   they can do this, but they are all old and unmaintained, which doesn’t make us
   confident in them.
 * The page I need help with: _[[log in](https://login.wordpress.org/?redirect_to=https%3A%2F%2Fwordpress.org%2Fsupport%2Ftopic%2Fcan-wp-phpmyadmin-access-external-databases%2F%3Foutput_format%3Dmd&locale=en_US)
   to see the link]_

 * Hi.
    At this moment it’s not available if I correctly see it, but I’ll note it
   and in the next updates I’ll try to implement that if possible.
