 * Firstly, thank you so much for this awesome plugin. it has been very helpful 
   for me. however, i need to use datatable mrender fn lately and i failed to make
   it work. I am new in php and have no idea how to add the ‘mRender’: function (){}
   into the datatable option.
 * Please help.
 * Thanks in advance.

 * Hmm, this plugin uses DataTables 1.10, which does not have an `mRender` option
   as far as I know. It has a [`columns.render` option](http://datatables.net/reference/option/columns.render),
   though, which might be what you’re asking about? Either way, there are examples
   for that in the linked page.
 * Creating a custom function for your table is going to require some code no matter
   what, of course, so you may want to ask your question on [the DataTables support forums](https://www.datatables.net/forums/)
   since DataTables functions are not specific to this plugin and you’re more likely
   to get more help with that task there than here.

 * thank you for your prompt reply. the reason why i need to use the mrender fn 
   is to show a clickable link into a button like [Click Me](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/datatable-mrender-fn/...?output_format=md)
 * any idea on how to accomplish this is much appreciated.
 * Thanks.

 * or in other word, how do i apply the following code into the plugin?
 * “render”: function ( data, type, full, meta ) {
    return ‘[Download](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/datatable-mrender-fn/'+data+'?output_format=md)‘;}

 * You need to use the DataTables API to attach your custum function to the appropriate
   cell. Like I said before:
