 * Data is being entered properly. I hate to bother you again, but I have two questions.
   One is that the data entry form at the bottom of the page is showing the column
   names instead of the column labels I defined. I’m not sure where the style sheet
   is for that either. I’ve been digging around.
 * The second issue is the topic title. After I submit a record, it is written to
   the database but then it displays the message “ERROR: Wrong arguments [no data
   found]” which I assume is supposed to show the data just entered but is not.
 * The page I need help with: _[[log in](https://login.wordpress.org/?redirect_to=https%3A%2F%2Fwordpress.org%2Fsupport%2Ftopic%2Ferror-wrong-arguments-no-data-found%2F%3Foutput_format%3Dmd&locale=en_US)
   to see the link]_

 * Hi Karin,
 * There are two ways to define column labels:
    (1) From the Data Explorer > Manage
   > Settings > Column Settings See instructions here: [https://wpdataaccess.com/docs/documentation/data-explorer/table-settings/](https://wpdataaccess.com/docs/documentation/data-explorer/table-settings/)(
   2) From Data Projects > Manage Table Options This one is more complex but allows
   more possibilities as well. See video instructions here: [https://wpdataaccess.com/docs/documentation/data-projects/manage-table-options/](https://wpdataaccess.com/docs/documentation/data-projects/manage-table-options/)
 * I checked your page and added a few rows to test. Hope you don’t mind. The arguments
   do not seem to produce this error. Does your table have a primary key? This is
   not needed for an insert, but when the plugin tries to read to data back it needs
   a primary key. Can you please add a primary key and check again?
 * Don’t worry about bothering me! This is what I love to do… 🙂
 * Best regards,
    Peter

 * Hi [@peterschulznl](https://wordpress.org/support/users/peterschulznl/) As you
   can see this is a super simple table. I can’t have a primary key on name because
   there are many people with the same name. I added a third column to server as
   the primary key on the MySQL table. It’s INT, AUTO_INCREMENT but this is breaking
   the inserts. I’m a bit befuddled. Sorry I’m a back end DBA and don’t do a lot
   of front end stuff. I just volunteered to do this for some friends. Does the 
   PK need to be on a column that people are entering?

 * Hi Karin,
 * If you add an auto increment column the user wont need to enter a value. It just
   needs to be visible. Maybe you can add a hint to your column label to let people
   know it is auto generated.
 * Best regards,
    Peter
