A lightweight plugin that adds a sortable post ID column to the far right of the admin post/page/custom post type lists. Clean and simple.

Description

KISS (Keep It Simple, Stupid) Show Post ID Admin adds a clean and sortable "ID" column to the WordPress admin post list tables—works for all post types including custom ones like machine_specs.

Features

  • Adds a new sortable Post ID column to the admin list tables
  • Works with all post types (posts, pages, and any UI-visible CPT)
  • Lightweight: No settings, no UI clutter
  • Skips activation if Admin Columns Pro is active (to avoid duplication)

Installation

  1. Upload the plugin files to the /wp-content/plugins/kiss-show-post-id-admin/ directory, or install through the WordPress plugins screen directly.
  2. Activate the plugin through the 'Plugins' screen in WordPress.
  3. That’s it! You’ll see a new sortable “ID” column on the far right.

Frequently Asked Questions

Will it work with my custom post type?

Yes! It works with all post types that are visible in the admin (i.e. registered with show_ui => true).

Is the ID column sortable?

Yes. You can click the "ID" column to sort ascending/descending.

What if I use Admin Columns Pro?

This plugin will deactivate itself on activation if Admin Columns Pro is already active.
