The plug-in doesn't save any changes suddenly and the update that was pending today failed as it says it doesn't contain any files.
Please fix this asap!
More details:
This is a bug tied to the URL-link type of column I think.
When I create the table with a column data type set to link it doesn't let me introduce the link when I edit the fields.Whatever format I insert it says it's not a valid link
If I create the table with the link column set to string and then change it to link I can enter a link first time i edit the field, but after that it just messes up everything and doesn't save any other fields too.
The update process is starting. This process may take a while on some hosts, so please be patient.

Thank you for your help so far.I managed to update the plug-in.I cleared the server cache and the browser cache but the table still doesn't let me edit the fields.It only works the first time I enter some data in the fields, after that even if it gives me that Green Text message Succes!Data has been added, the new data is not displayed.
Also the links displayed in the link field still look like this:
I created a new table and that seems to work properly with the link and multiple edits, but the one created yesterday still doesn't work.Please let me know if you fix this issue in the future and also maybe make it possible to place relative paths in the link field too.
Sometimes issues like this cannot be resolved in the current table, since it's settings have already been stored in the database. One example of a seemingly un-resolvable issue would be this:
You create a column with "Single-line" type, and it gets stored in the database as VARCHAR (255). Then, you decide to switch to "Multi-line" so the cells can accept longer texts, but once you exceed the 255 character limit, it says "Success! Data has been added", but it never does. You can try changing the column's type in PHPMyAdmin from VARCHAR to TEXT (which has no character limit), but that usually doesn't work. So, in order to use the Multi-line column, you need to add a new column which will initially be set as "Multi-line".

"<a href='<a href="/wp-content/uploads/2019/02/file.xlsx" target="_blank">filename</a>' target='_blank'><a href="/wp-content/uploads/2019/02/file.xlsx" target="_blank">filename</a></a>"
How is that a vaid link?But this format works.It's what it shows me after I entered the data and then hit edit!
And the update it wants to install is 2.3.2.Isn't it supposed to be 2.4 -as I read in other ticket?
Any help?

Hello bogdan.
Thank you for your purchase.
My suggestion is to update the plugin manually by following these steps:
1.) Download zip from this link
2.) Use FTP to open /yourwordpressfolder/wp-content/plugins
3.) Delete existing wpdatatables folder.
4.) Upload previously downloaded wpdatatables folder through FTP to plugins folder (unzip it)
5.) Go to WP-admin panel, open Plugins section.
6.) Deactivate wpDataTables, and then activate it again.
7.) Clear server and browser cache
IMPORTANT: Do NOT delete the old version from WP-admin (by clicking “Delete” in the plugins page) if you don’t want to lose all your tables!
Best regards.
Kind Regards,
Aleksandar Vuković

The amazing thing is that this kind of link actually works.It's actually linked to the file it's supposed to show.
Can you please fix these bugs?I have to deliver a project this week and I used your plug-in on many pages.

Hello again bogdan.
Glad to hear you resolved the issue.
Sometimes issues like this cannot be resolved in the current table, since it's settings have already been stored in the database. One example of a seemingly un-resolvable issue would be this:
You create a column with "Single-line" type, and it gets stored in the database as VARCHAR (255). Then, you decide to switch to "Multi-line" so the cells can accept longer texts, but once you exceed the 255 character limit, it says "Success! Data has been added", but it never does. You can try changing the column's type in PHPMyAdmin from VARCHAR to TEXT (which has no character limit), but that usually doesn't work. So, in order to use the Multi-line column, you need to add a new column which will initially be set as "Multi-line".
I think this would imply in your case as well.
We've noticed the issue regarding this:
<a href='<a href="/wp-content/uploads/2019/02/file.pdf" target="_blank">filename</a>' target='_blank'><a href="/wp-content/uploads/2019/02/file.pdf" target="_blank">filename</a></a>
It has been forwarded to our development team, and we'll add it to our list of ideas, so it may be fixed in one of our future updates.
Regarding the relative paths in the link field - can you please explain in a bit more detail what you are referring to?
Best regards.
