Sekander Badsha Hello - newbie here....so will prob make you laugh with my question, but... I want to take the info from my user's submissions and use it elsewhere in my site. For instance, the image that they upload in one question and the answer they give to another I want to use on a page that combines other user's answers/images. How can I find, access, and then use this data? I thought I read that all form data was stored in it's own table, so I figured this would be possible, right? (Hopefully...) Any help or info is greatly appreciated... Thanks Guys, Ellie

Hello Elizabeth,
Doing this could be quite hard for a Noob. You should consider to hire a developer.

I’m not that much of a noob, I apologize…I have some programming skills under my belt. Can you just give me a push in the right direction?

Thank you

Hi Elizabeth,
The post’s data are being stored in the post table. and the other custom field’s data are being stored in the post meta table.

So you can get the data by calling get_title, the_excerpt, and get_post_meta functions.
