# WP Data Access Display Widget?

 * I’m developing an app and social platform for my project – but it’s all no code…
   🙂
 * I’m looking for a way to allow the app user to press a submit button in the app,
   and send information from the app (stored in a database that isn’t WordPress)
   to a section on the social site – a little like an activity widget or similar,
   displaying the information intended to be sent.
 * The social site is using the Peepso platform on WordPress, and I’m using Xano
   as a database for my app.
 * Does this sound feasible with WP Data Access?

 * Hi [@rox-1](https://wordpress.org/support/users/rox-1/),
 * Hope I understand your use case correctly…
 * Where is your data stored? If this is a MySQL or MariaDB, you can create a remote
   connection from WP Data Access (presuming you are aloud to remote access the 
   database) and use that connection to create a publication. The publication is
   read only. Then create a widget for the publication to show your data on your
   WordPress server as well as external servers. This isn’t very hard to setup.
 * Is this what you are looking for?
 * Best regards,
    Peter

 * Thanks for the quick reply Peter. 🙂
 * It’s Xano, so it’s based on PostgreSQL. It allows remote access with APIs so 
   all my app data is stored and retrieved from there.
 * I’m a complete novice here, but if you think this is possible I’m more than happy
   to get signed up!
 * Is there a ticketing system where I can be a little more specific about my use
   case?
 * Thanks,
 * Paul.

 * Hi Paul,
 * It is not possible to directly connect to PostgreSQL. It can be done, but this
   requires you to setup a custom gateway as explained here:
    [https://wpdataaccess.com/docs/documentation/remote-database-connections/odbc-jdbc/](https://wpdataaccess.com/docs/documentation/remote-database-connections/odbc-jdbc/)
 * Wizard support (no coding) is planned for next year, but it is not yet available.
   Sorry!
 * >>> Is there a ticketing system where I can be a little more specific about my
   use case?
 * No ticketing system, but you can use the contact form on the plugin website to
   get in touch. 😊
 * Best regards,
    Peter
