wpDataTables filters

Filters (hooks) in WordPress are a type of callback function that can be defined by the user and are applied to certain values – strings, integers, objects, etc. It is a simple way to adjust code output without actually having to modify the code. Essentially, you add a given function on top of an existing one, to override the logic. Then, when the plugin is updated later, you won’t lose any of your changes.

You can get a detailed description of WordPress hooks here in WP Codex. In this section, we will go through all the filters available in wpDataTables.
