  I have a website that’s running fine on Wix.com, however it uses a Database feature which links an excel like table with a bunch of information such as title, multiple text pieces, image etc. – this information is then used to create a subpage per row of my table. Currently that’s over 1k different subpages.
  My question is how WordPress would handle such a feature if I transfer my site. What would happen to all those pages and is it straightforward to keep expanding these pages?

  For reference the feature is like a wiki, with users being able to search for an item or term and its corresponding page comes up.

  Good Morning –

  Are you able to provide a link to the current site? I’d just like to take a closer look at how things are set up there.

  We have an integration with Microsoft so that you can generate an embed code and simply add that to the post or page where you want the specific excel spreadsheet to be displayed. Take a look at this: https://wordpress.com/support/excel-web-app/

  Write back if you need more help or have any other questions.

  The current site is Pyreborn.com. It gets decent traffic for what it is and works fine, but it’s slow to load and has limitations such being unable to simply edit the translations of the blogs.

  Thanks for the assistance :)

  Those pages _should_ transfer as-is, but if anything goes horribly wrong, we can completely empty a site.
