“URL link” columns are used to render hyperlinks that can be clicked to open pages within your website, or in external websites.
- Rendering rules: If the content of the cells contains a combination of “two sticks” – || – everything to the left of this combination is used as an URL address for the link, and everything to the right as displayed text. For example:
https://wpdatatables.com||Check out wpDataTables
will be rendered as:
Check out wpDataTables
If the “||” combination is not found in the content, the entire content will be used both for the link and as the display value. For example:
https://wpdatatables.com
will be rendered as:
https://wpdatatables.com
- Sorting rules: alphabetical.
- Applicable filter types: text.
- Editor input type: One-line edit, Attachment
