## 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

 1. In your WordPress admin, go to **Plugins  Add New Plugin  Upload Plugin**.
 2. Choose the plugin ZIP file and click **Install Now**.
 3. Click **Activate**.
 4. 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.
