Also, learn more about elgg-plugin.php structure

Thanks for your help. Everything works as hoped.

As for the "why": Let's just say that the way I'm an elggnoob, my users are general technoobs and the presence of the "add sub-page", "edit" and "add" buttons confused some of the users in such a way that we needed to find a solution to make it easier.

That said, I probably should take out the "friends" and "logged-in user" options from the "write access" drowndown menu in the "edit" page. Just in case. Let's see if I find out how to do that with what I've learned.

the "friends" and "logged-in user" options from the "write access" drowndown menu

The "Friends only" access level will persist in the menu. It's a bit more difficult to remove.

"Private" will be there by default and it will be fine for your users, IMO.

You should never insert data into the database manually, always use the Elgg APIs.

I see your script has a table '<prefix>users_entity' this table was dropped in Elgg 3.0, which ancient (unsupported) version of Elgg are you trying to use?

Hello, couple of points I would like to ask here

1. So the issue I think here is because I inserted data manually? What are the core Elgg API functions I need to use in my script?

2. I am using Elgg 6.1 version. The elgg_user_entity is the table which I have created. The elgg_entities and elgg_metadata tables have been already existing

3. Can you please guide me with issue? Should I use my existing python script to call for the correct API functions or can I build a custom PHP script for this to use css file to upload user data?

Is it possible to schedule a call here? I would highly appreciate if I can get some help here.

Hello, can you please help me with the above queries?
