 * Hi I am trialing the premium version and looking good so far.
 * I am using the Data Publisher display a custon WordPress table I created. One
   of the fields is a link to a PDF created. This is a full url can they be hyperlinked
   to allow them to be clicked on or do I have to do the href myself?
 * Or can I replace this with a button?
 * Thanks

 * Yes you can do this.
    You have to define the field in the Explorer of WP Data
   Access in the Settings – Column Settings. There you have the opportunity to set
   the Column Type to “Hyperlink”. I am using this feature in my project [https://araber-sportpferde.de/pferde/](https://araber-sportpferde.de/pferde/)
   for the column “Pedigree” for an external link.
 * Maybe in your case you should use the Column Type “Attachment”, i would suggest
   to try both.

 * Hi I am not doing it this way I believe. I am using the data publishing – table
   option.
 * If I can do a better way then please let me know.

 * Do you know your explore option doesn’t work correctly as it always gets the 
   first table even if you click explore under a different table. You have to search
   for the table then click explore for it to work.

 * Hi [@gatestar](https://wordpress.org/support/users/gatestar/),
 * The explorer works fine on all my installations, but another plugin user was 
   complaining about the same issue this weekend. So I wonder if I’ve overlooked
   something? Can you clarify this issue? Maybe share some screenshots? Any help
   is appreciated!
 * ARE OTHER USER FACING THE SAME ISSUE…??? LET ME KNOW!
 * You can use dynammic hyperlinks (as mentioned by [@baschwa](https://wordpress.org/support/users/baschwa/))
   in the Data Publisher as well. 😉 This is documented here:

 * Hy [@gatestar](https://wordpress.org/support/users/gatestar/),
 * Thanks for the pictures! Your first three tables all show a red flag. I’m not
   sure whether that might be the cause of the issue. Is it possible to send me 
   an export of your first three tables? You can export without rows if you prefer
   and use the contactform on the plugin website to send this inforamtion in private.
 * Regarding the hyperlinks, you first need to create them, before you can access
   them in the Data Publisher. Here is the documentation for creating dynamic hyperlinks:

   Please let me know if this helps.

 * Sent through contact form. I have lost the ability to manage the tables is this
   connected and the explorer on these tables looks terrible and hard to read. See
   pic.

 * Sorted it on the manage side an explore. It somehow managed to restrict access
   on my user, now that I can manage again if I click explore next to table does
   that table. Still no idea why the red flag but working now. Thanks

 * Hi [@gatestar](https://wordpress.org/support/users/gatestar/),
 * Good it is working now!
 * Thanks for the export. I imported the file but I don’t get any issues (no red
   flags). Are you up to date with the plugin? Or using an older version? Can you
   please check and update if applicable?
 * You can change the number of columns displayed in the list table by clicking 
   on the Screen Options link in upper right corner and select/deselect the columns
   you want to see. The plugin remembers your settings for each table. You can also
   craete your own custom list tables and data entry form with Data Projects. This
   is documented here:
    [https://wpdataaccess.com/docs/data-projects/overview/](https://wpdataaccess.com/docs/data-projects/overview/)
 * Let me know if you need more assistance,
    Peter
