Install

Download source zip No release zip yet

This is the repository archive. It installs, but the folder name will carry the branch suffix and updates will not flow.

Install straight from GitHub with WP-CLI:

wp plugin install https://github.com/azanumer/wp-admin-columns-manager/archive/refs/heads/main.zip
No built-in updater. New versions won't appear under Dashboard → Updates. Install new releases yourself, or let Git Updater track the repository.
Readme github.com/azanumer/wp-admin-columns-manager ↗

Adds the columns WordPress forgot to the posts and pages list — so you can spot a missing featured image, a thin 200-word post, or a stale page at a glance, without opening each one.

What it does

Column Shows Sortable
ID Post ID Yes
Image Featured-image thumbnail (48px) No
Words Word count of the post content Yes
Last Modified Date + time of the last edit Yes
Comments Comment count Yes
  • Settings → Admin Columns toggles each column and picks which public post types get them (posts and pages by default; custom post types included).
  • Word-count sorting uses CHAR_LENGTH(post_content) as a cheap, correct proxy — longer content sorts above shorter content.

Installation

  1. Upload the plugin folder to wp-content/plugins/ and activate it.
  2. Go to Settings → Admin Columns to toggle columns or post types.
