 * Hi Chandran,
 * 1) This plugin makes use of your WordPress database. It creates tables in the
   database that are prefixed with “EWD_FEUP”. Of course it’s theoretically possible
   to change what database is used, but you’d have to go in every plugin file and
   change every query to the database to your own custom one.
 * 2) This isn’t something we’ve tested. If you’ve installed the plugin at the network
   admin level, and not the individual site level, and it doesn’t show the same 
   info in all sites/instances, then it’s unlikely that it’s possible.
 * 3) If it’s saving to the same database location, then you could use our available
   public functions ([https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bKiJAjq7PhQ&list=PLEndQUuhlvSolfe-rIpI3eK_TmfeEDPeH&index=9&t=5s](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bKiJAjq7PhQ&list=PLEndQUuhlvSolfe-rIpI3eK_TmfeEDPeH&index=9&t=5s))
   to retrieve the info you need.
