Considering use of wpdatatables plugin with a wordpress site. Data would be coming from a MySql database.
Wondering whether the connection to between the plug and MySql is protected, either with SSL or some means.
I'm not a web security expert, but I'm thinking that I can use https:// for the wordpress site itself, so pages served to visitors is protected, and I can get data into MySql in a secure manner, but I wasn't able to find out any details about how the plugin accesses MySql
Plugin access the database that is used by WordPress, and we are fetching the data from it with MySQL queries and it is secured because we are using WordPress built-in methods that sanitize the data sent to query.
You can try our sandbox site: Front-end & Back-end - you can find a fully functional version there to try out all plugin features.
