Hi Marc

I'm glad to hear you got it to work.

As for extra > and <, I believe this is caused by libxml.

You should find the libxml version in your php.info file.

If the version is less then 2.7.8

In file  wp-content/plugins/wpdatatables/source/class.wdttools.php  around line 927 find this code 

if (self::isHtml($string)) {
$string = self::stripJsAttributes($string);
}

and comment it so the code look like this 

//if (self::isHtml($string)) {
//$string = self::stripJsAttributes($string);
//}

It should work now for your version of libxml.

You're welcome Marc

If you have any further questions or issues, please feel free to open a new ticket, and we'll gladly help.

Hello George

No, this fix is for outdated libxml versions, and doesn't provide more features to the plugin.

Embedding media (like a YouTube video for example) works fine, however. You just need to paste the correct code in the cell.
