    How to store an encryption key in a wpDataTables field?

    I want to store a (long text value) value like:

    However wpDataTables does not save this data.

    Thanks for your answer in advance.

    (Update: solved already: I have extended the field type to 'long text' in mySQL in PhpMyAdmin panel)

    Hi Peter,
    Thank you for your purchase.

    Glad that you solved the issue.
    In case you need it I will write you a note about mysql text size

    "TINYTEXT is a string data type that can store up to to 255 characters.  TEXT is a string data type that can store up to 65,535 characters. TEXT is commonly used for storing blocks of text used for brief articles.  LONGTEXT is a string data type with a maximum length of 4,294,967,295 characters."

    So maybe this can be useful.

    Best regards.

    Kind Regards, 

    Miloš Jovanović

    Thanks a lot for this answer Bogdan. I now have changed my data type to 'text' instead of 'longtext' as text lenght will be sufficient. 

    Regards,

    Peter
