    Hi,

    Welcome! That’s complex issue… 😉

    Let me see if I understand your question correctly first:
    You already found a way to create a parent-child page with the post table as its parent and the postmeta table as its child table. Now you want to make the postmeta data “readable”, say display the data in table and its columns form. Do I understand your question correctly?

    The plugin works with database tables and columns. WordPress postmeta data contain their own json, objects, arrays and fields (and more…?). You cannot display this postmeta data as a “normal” table with its columns. But you could try to add “dummy columns” to your (postmeta) base table and then fill those dummy columns while you’re building the table.

    I think is will be hard if not even impossible to build a generic solution, but you should be able to build a specific solution. I you have a test set which I could use I can give it a try. If you prefer to send it in private you can send me a message from the plugin website. Please let me know…

    Best regards,
    Peter
