    I can't seem to figure out how to use custom table API.

    "MB_Custom_Table_API::create( 'my_custom_table', array(
    'address' => 'TEXT NOT NULL',
    'phone'   => 'TEXT NOT NULL',
    'email'   => 'TEXT NOT NULL',
) );"

    Where should I put this code? I added it to functions.php where I have the metabox but it's no working for me.

    Hi,

    It's recommended to use a hook like 'plugins_loaded', 'init' or better - activation hook to create a new table. In case of a theme, you can hook into 'init', like this:

    add_action( 'init', 'prefix_create_table' );
function prefix_create_table() {
    if ( ! class_exists( 'MB_Custom_Table_API' ) ) {
        return;
    }
    MB_Custom_Table_API::create( 'my_custom_table', array(
        'address' => 'TEXT NOT NULL',
        'phone'   => 'TEXT NOT NULL',
        'email'   => 'TEXT NOT NULL',
    ), array( 'email' ) );
}

    For more info, please see the sub-section E. in the section Notes of the documentation.
