    Hello,

    We have 4 custom fields contained in the wp_geodir_gd_ourcustomposttype_detail table, that we need to update from an external data source (on another server), via an external API that we have created.

    Is there a way to do this?

    I’m not that familiar with the WP REST API (http://v2.wp-api.org/), but I believe that it can only interface with standard WordPress tables (i.e. postmeta), and we could therefore not use it.
    Is that correct?

    If not, how do you recommend that we populate our 4 custom fields?

    Thanks.

    Hi Dylan,

    You could extend the WP API to do this, you you would need to add authentications etc, i’m not sure what your skill set is but it’s a bad idea to mess with this unless you know what you are doing, otherwise you could allow anyone access to be able to change your DB.
