On a related note, when a field is setup to be edited with the HTML editor, the editor comes up fine, accepts i nput with or without formatting, then appears to save the changes after clicking elsewhere. However, the change is lost and a blank value is saved.
In this case, the problem occurs whether or not ENTER is pressed after inputting the change.
I tried replicating the issues You are describing, but I'm unable to do that. Everything comes up fine on my end. When I create a table and allow front-end editing, it doesn't matter if I hit ENTER or not - when I click somewhere else, the text stays as it was typed. The same thing happens with the HTML editor.
Can You, please provide me a temporary WP-admin login for your site where this happens, so we could log in and take a look ‘from the inside’ as that’s the most efficient way to see and resolve the issue. We do not interfere with any data or anything else except for the plugin (in case that’s a production version of the site), and of course we do not provide login data to third party. You can write credentials here just check Private Reply so nobody can see them except us.
One other quick question - I noticed that any page containing a wpDataTable table for some reason displays the mobile menu in the upper left hand side of the header in any standard desktop browser (you can see it on the page I sent you) - here is a screenshot.
No other plugin or page/post or anything else in wordpress behaves like this - is there any way to get rid of this?
This "mobile menu" is not a part of wpDataTables plugin. It looks like it's a part of the theme, and there should be a way of turning it off.
I've tested the table, and I can now see Your problem. Could you, please, provide me a temporary WP-admin login for your site so that I can see all the settings. As I said, we do not interfere with any data or anything else except for the plugin (in case that’s a production version of the site), and of course we do not provide login data to third party. Just make sure You check the Private Reply slider so nobody can see the login information except us.
Can you please tell me which version of libxml do you use.
You should find the libxml version in your php.info file.
The version is probably 2.7.8 or lower. That's why the table didn't support breaks.
Now, I went into Plugins/editor in the dashboard, and selected wpdatatables from the top right drop-down. In the file wp-content/plugins/wpdatatables/source/class.wdttools.php and around line 823 I found this code:
if (self::isHtml($string)) {
$string = self::stripJsAttributes($string);
}
and commented it so the code look like this
// if (self::isHtml($string)) {
// $string = self::stripJsAttributes($string);
// }
It would make sense to ask for this. We found a fix for the issue, but there's no telling of how it may impact other plugins on Your page, or some other settings You'll run into along the way.
I am having an issue with multi-line editing. Steps to reproduce:
1) Setup a table with an editable VARCHAR or text field (manual or MySQL)
2) Open the table in a page, double-click the field
3) The multi-line edit box appears
4) Type a string but do not press enter
5) Click somewhere else - the value will be saved fine
6) Repeat step 3 but this time press enter after typing in a string
7) Click somewhere else - the value disappears and a blank value is saved
This seems to be a bug - please let me know.
Thanks
Dennis

Thanks for your reply Alexander. Please try the table on this page - it has one each of single line, multi line and HTML.
Please let me know how it goes (if need be I can setup an admin access for you - it is just a "sandbox" site)
Thanks

HTML also works without any issues.
Please let me know if we solved the issue.

Thanks - that did the trick!
libxml is version 2.7.6
Would it make sense to ask the hosting provider to upgrade libxml on my account?
Thanks again for your help!
Dennis
