Tell us what you are trying to do?
I have a non-WordPress app with a MySQL database running alongside WordPress on a new website. Is there a way to use Toolset to register that app's data tables as WordPress custom post types?

Is there any documentation that you are following?
no

Is there a similar example that we can see?
no

What is the link to your site?
hidden link

Hi Cynthia,

Thank you for getting in touch.

Unfortunately no that's not possible to do. Toolset can only interact with the local database for your current install.

Any interaction with an external app/database will need to be done using custom code.

Thanks,
Shane
