You're not missing anything. Parse shortcodes in strings does work for some, but not all shortcodes. We don't have a list of usable plugins and shortcodes, so we can't guarantee that it will work for the plugin you're trying to use.
wpDataTables is reading the shortcode, and that's why you see it as modified data in the cell. Try creating a new column - string, multi-line; and then try using the shortcode. If that doesn't work, unfortunately it would only tell us that the shortcode can't be used in wpDataTables.
Hello,
I would like to use shortcodes from other wordpress plugins inside of wpDataTable cells but cant' get this feature to work.
This for example:
[su_tooltip style="bootstrap" position="east" shadow="yes" rounded="yes" content="Tooltip Content"]<u>Click here</u>[/su_tooltip]
Gets rewritten as this, which of course is broken code and doesn't work:
<span class="su-tooltip" data-close="no" data-behavior="hover" data-my="center left" data-at="center right" data-classes="su-qtip qtip-bootstrap su-qtip-size-default qtip-shadow qtip-rounded" data-title="" title="Tooltip Content">Click here
I have selected the option "Parse shortcodes in strings" in the settings. What am I missing and how do I get this to work?
Thank you
