Hi Dylan,
Thank you for your interest in wpdatatables.

In wpDataTables 2.1 and higher, additional settings for URL link columns are available:

1. You can configure how the link should be opened, in the new tab or the same tab.
2. This option allows you to display the link as a button.
3. You can set the button display text.
4. You can set the button CSS class.

When you insert name of the class there, then you need to made it in 

 in Custom wpDataTables CSS under the "Custom JS AND CSS" in main settings of wpdatatables.

.imagebutton {
    border: none;
    padding: 0px 0px;
    text-align: center;
    text-decoration: none;
    display: inline-block;
}

If you have conflict with theme or other CSS rule please use !important;

Also, you can insert your on HTML tags on columns that have column type string.

All useful information you can find in our documentation on this link.

Best regards.

Hi Dylan,

You can use HTML tags as I suggest you in previous post, and if you are using clases then you can set it in Custom wpDataTables CSS under the "Custom JS AND CSS" in main settings of wpdatatables.

You have a lot of examples on the Internet and here is one of them

Best regards.
