Description
At8 Show IDs adds a compact ID column to almost every list table in the WordPress admin, so you can read the real database ID of an item — and sort the list by ID — without opening each item or digging through developer tools.
Supported list tables:
- Posts — every post type registered with an admin UI, including custom post types
- Pages
- Media library
- Categories
- Tags and any custom taxonomy with an admin UI
- Users
Features:
- The ID column is inserted directly after the checkbox column, so it always sits in the same predictable place.
- Click the ID column header to sort the list by ID, ascending or descending.
- Fixed-width, tabular-aligned numbers keep long lists readable.
- Zero configuration — activate the plugin and it works.
- Front-end output: none. No extra database tables, no external requests, no tracking, no phone-home.
- Nothing is written to the database, so deactivating or deleting the plugin leaves no leftovers.
Installation
- In your WordPress admin, go to Plugins Add New Plugin Upload Plugin.
- Choose the plugin ZIP file and click Install Now.
- Click Activate.
- Open Posts, Pages, Media, Users, or any taxonomy screen — the ID column is already there.
FAQ
-
Does it slow down my site down?
-
No. The plugin runs inside the WordPress admin only, adds no front-end assets, and issues no extra database queries of its own.
-
Does it work with custom post types and custom taxonomies?
-
Yes. Any post type or taxonomy that has its own admin list screen gets the ID column, including custom ones registered by your theme or by another plugin.
-
Can I sort by ID?
-
Yes. Click the ID column header on the posts, pages, media, taxonomy and users screens.
-
Does it change anything on the front end of my site?
-
No. Nothing is added to the front end and no existing output is modified.
-
Where is the plugin’s settings screen?
-
There is none. The plugin is deliberately zero-configuration, so it adds no admin menus or screens of its own.
