Wordpress: Creating a custom table for custom post type

3
votes

I have a custom post type defined in my Wordpress application, the data of which is stored inside wp_postmeta table in MySQL by default. However, since my custom post type has 16 form fields, it's not feasible to store each entry into wp_postmeta. I'm using the ACF plugin in Wordpress to create my custom post type.

So, is there a way to create a custom table in PHPMyAdmin for MySQL to store data coming from my custom post type?

The ACF plugin is great, but the PODS Framework for Wordpress allows you to register custom post types and store the data in a custom table, all via the Wordpress Admin UI.
