Title: User Id's missing in 3.1 Last modified: August 19, 2016 --- # User Id's missing in 3.1 * [kyp83](https://wordpress.org/support/users/kyp83/) * (@kyp83) * [15 years, 4 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/user-ids-missing-in-31/) * It seems that the user ID’s have disappeared and I can’t seem to get them to show anywhere. Anyone have any idea how to tell what the user ID’s are now?

Since the update, that column no longer exists and I have plugins that require me to manually enter in that user ID. Any idea how to get that user ID column back? * Thread Starter [kyp83](https://wordpress.org/support/users/kyp83/) * (@kyp83) * [15 years, 4 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/user-ids-missing-in-31/#post-1932905) * I noticed that also the “Name” Column is now blank. That used to show what name you wanted the user to be shown as. * Hasn’t anyone else experienced issues with users since the update? * Thread Starter [kyp83](https://wordpress.org/support/users/kyp83/) * (@kyp83) * [15 years, 4 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/user-ids-missing-in-31/#post-1932946) * It also appears that Site ID’s are gone as well, which will make mapping domains rather difficult if you cannot see the site ID. * [Andrea Rennick](https://wordpress.org/support/users/andrea_r/) * (@andrea_r) * [15 years, 4 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/user-ids-missing-in-31/#post-1932955) * > which will make mapping domains rather difficult if you cannot see the site > ID. * um, no – you can still map sites by visiting the admin area of that site, then mapping it. * Network admin is the replacement of Super Admin. It’s a whole separate new area. * And hover over the site name in the listing, as well as the users. * Thread Starter [kyp83](https://wordpress.org/support/users/kyp83/) * (@kyp83) * [15 years, 4 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/user-ids-missing-in-31/#post-1932968) * I understand that their is a new admin area, but important columns are no longer showing. That is my entire point. * Hovering shows the normal options, but I still do not see where the User ID / Site ID columns went as well as why the Name columns are now blank for the users. * By domain mapping, I meant Network Settings->Settings->Domain that asks for the site ID (whose column no longer shows up when you look under sites). * Do you see what I am talking about? Is there a genuine problem with columns missing or am I the only one experiencing this issue? As a sidenote I have been using Multisite fine for a few months now. * [Andrea Rennick](https://wordpress.org/support/users/andrea_r/) * (@andrea_r) * [15 years, 4 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/user-ids-missing-in-31/#post-1933071) * > By domain mapping, I meant Network Settings->Settings->Domain that asks for > the site ID (whose column no longer shows up when you look under sites). * Yes, I know where that is. i’m suggesting you go to the SITE itself and look under Tools -> Domain Mapping. You can map the domain from there without inputting the ID becasue it assumes the site you are on is the one you are mapping. * > why the Name columns are now blank for the users. * i’m seeign this too, but I still see the username. IME many users don’t fill out the name anyway, so for me this is a minor issue. * Yes, the ID column is gone. But you can still SEE the ID when you hover over the name of the site. I just checked. you see a string in the bottom of your broswer that ends with site-info.php?ID=3 or whatever number it is. * Thread Starter [kyp83](https://wordpress.org/support/users/kyp83/) * (@kyp83) * [15 years, 4 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/user-ids-missing-in-31/#post-1933216) * Ok I see what your saying about seeing the ID in the browser link, but that seems rather counter-intuitive. No idea why the ID columns would be removed. The name column may seem minor, but I always change my users appearance to something different than what the actual username is. That column being blank or filled is how I check if I have updated the username properly. * Are both of these issues bugs with the new update or was this change meant to be like this? * [raywaldo](https://wordpress.org/support/users/raywaldo/) * (@raywaldo) * [15 years, 4 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/user-ids-missing-in-31/#post-1933323) * I have been searching for the ID’s also. I even tried some of the plugins that used to work and nothing would bring them back to the lists. Thanks [@andrea_r](https://wordpress.org/support/users/andrea_r/) for the tip. But I agree with [@kyp83](https://wordpress.org/support/users/kyp83/) that such use is NOT intuitive. What is the reasoning of removing the ID fields from the respective lists. I used them to sort users – since the highest UserID is the newest and may need to be “moderated” at times. Although the “Registered” field does it, I was just confused. I have always thought that the default sort should be last registered at the top. Now, it is a two-step process to get there: sort on registered & then reverse sort. And for those of us with slow servers, that is a bit frustrating. * [Andrea Rennick](https://wordpress.org/support/users/andrea_r/) * (@andrea_r) * [15 years, 4 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/user-ids-missing-in-31/#post-1933330) * Or click on the upper right section where it shows a link to the last page of your user listing? * Also, the search box has been revamped. * [marikamitsos](https://wordpress.org/support/users/marikamitsos/) * (@marikamitsos) * [15 years, 3 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/user-ids-missing-in-31/#post-1933374) * @ raywaldo and kyp83, Have you tried this? [Reveal IDs](http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/reveal-ids-for-wp-admin-25/). I find it really helpful and well maintained as well. * [raywaldo](https://wordpress.org/support/users/raywaldo/) * (@raywaldo) * [15 years, 3 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/user-ids-missing-in-31/#post-1933376) * [@marikamitsos](https://wordpress.org/support/users/marikamitsos/) – yes but it does not work in the network admin (for site/blog ids or user id). At least, I could not manage to get it to do so. * Thread Starter [kyp83](https://wordpress.org/support/users/kyp83/) * (@kyp83) * [15 years, 3 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/user-ids-missing-in-31/#post-1933380) * The thing is, the ID columns (and the name column for users) were fine until the 3.1 update and the new Network Settings Interface. There are even new options to turn on and off what columns you want to be shown by default, but for some reason, ID’s is not one of those options. I am sure it was just an oversight, but it really is an issue that needs to be fixed. There are numerous reasons why ID’s are needed. Even for the simplest of reasons like list sorting. Hopefully this issue is promptly fixed. * Moderator [Samuel Wood (Otto)](https://wordpress.org/support/users/otto42/) * (@otto42) * WordPress.org Admin * [15 years, 3 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/user-ids-missing-in-31/#post-1933382) * The ID columns, like the ID columns on the posts and pages screens, have indeed been removed. They very likely will not be coming back. * [Andrea Rennick](https://wordpress.org/support/users/andrea_r/) * (@andrea_r) * [15 years, 3 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/user-ids-missing-in-31/#post-1933385) * I know it’s easier to see them all in a list but you CAN still get the IDs. * [kilwag](https://wordpress.org/support/users/kilwag/) * (@kilwag) * [15 years, 3 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/user-ids-missing-in-31/#post-1933533) * @ Otto.. Why won’t they be coming back?
