Database Browser

Description

Ever needed to check some data in one of your WordPress database tables, but don’t have PHPMyAdmin available? Now you can easily query your data and export it in HTML, XML, CSV, SQL (insert statements) and JSON formats with a simple plugin.

There are other options, for example you can write your own ‘where’ and ‘order by’ clauses, and pagination is built-in. You can also see the complete query run against your database. And you can even save queries with custom names, so if there are queries you use a lot they are only a click away.

Installation

  1. Upload plugin-name.php to the /wp-content/plugins/ directory, or install from the Plugin browser
  2. Activate the plugin through the ‘Plugins’ menu in WordPress

FAQ

Can I delete my data?

Yes, it is possible to delete or modify data using the custom query, ‘Where’ and ‘Order by’ boxes. Be careful.

Who can export the data?

Only people with export permisions – the people who can run your WordPress export file.

I've had trouble today loading the Thrive Apprentice page editor and the TA control panel. I've tracked it down to this plugin. I notice it isn't tested with the latest version of WP. Might need a little tweaking...?!?

Usually I troubleshoot databases using phpMyAdmin, but this week I'm helping someone with a site whose hosting doesn't give me access to that. I need to see raw DB contents, and wasn't looking forward to writing a bunch of custom PHP/MySQL queries. Then I found this plugin. Thank you for writing it. What a time saver. Obviously it's doesn't have nearly as many features as phpMyAdmin, and I'm fine with that. This is a great, simple way inspect (and apparently update) the WP DB.
