 * So unless I am missing something, I see plenty of ways to style the Data Publisher,
   but that doesn’t allow for table relationships like Data Projects or Templates.
 * How do we get both? For example, we have an employee table, that has a relationship
   with a department table, a job title table, and an on call group table.
 * Nothing complex in a normal MySQL query, but seemingly impossible without Project/
   Templates. This however does not appear to let us make a nice display.
 * What am I missing, I am on Premium.
 * The page I need help with: _[[log in](https://login.wordpress.org/?redirect_to=https%3A%2F%2Fwordpress.org%2Fsupport%2Ftopic%2Fshortcode-variables-display%2F%3Foutput_format%3Dmd&locale=en_US)
   to see the link]_

 * Hi [@grungyape](https://wordpress.org/support/users/grungyape/),
 * Projects can be executed in two ways:
    (1) WordPress look and feel (2) With Data
   Forms as a responsive app
 * (1) The WordPress look and feel works great in the back-end. No need to style!
   With shortcode wpdadiehard it can be used on the front-end as well. But restyling
   requires additional css. Examples can be downloaded from here:
    [https://code-manager.com/code/?wpda_search_column_code_name=WP-Data-Access-Data-Projects%](https://code-manager.com/code/?wpda_search_column_code_name=WP-Data-Access-Data-Projects%)
   Select your prefered styles and use the Code Manager to add these styles to your
   project. More info can be found here: [https://wpdataaccess.com/styling-a-data-project/](https://wpdataaccess.com/styling-a-data-project/)
 * (2) Data Forms is a premium features. It turns a Data Project into a responsive
   app. Here is a demo of the full Student Administration System running with Data
   Forms in read only mode:
    [https://wpdataaccess.com/docs/documentation/data-forms/project-demo/](https://wpdataaccess.com/docs/documentation/data-forms/project-demo/)
   You do not need to make any changes to your projects. You just need to run it
   with a different shortcode. This is explained here: [https://wpdataaccess.com/docs/documentation/data-forms/getting-started/](https://wpdataaccess.com/docs/documentation/data-forms/getting-started/)
 * If you use wpdadiehard as a premium user, you are not using the power of WP Data
   Access. Run one of your projects with Data Forms and you’ll see the potential.
   Let me know if you need further assistance.
 * Best regards,
    Peter
