The wpDataTables plugin stores the location of data sources using the full filesystem path to the data source file. We would prefer that file paths are stored relative to the project wordpress root.
Current state: When we deploy our website (i.e. copy files and database to another server), we have to manually edit the database directly – the wpDataTables data source path has to be either made relative or edited to point to the copied data source file.
Fix: The wpDataTables plugin should store the location of data sources in a “relative” format. For example, instead of “/shared/folder/installation_name/wp-data/data-tables.csv”, the location should be stored as” wp-data/data-tables.csv”
