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.

== Changelog ==

= 1.1.1 =

  • Fixed: Post ID column wasn’t appearing for some CPTs like machine_specs due to late hook timing.
  • Now hooks into admin_init for reliable registration.

= 1.1.0 =

  • Added support for sorting by Post ID column.

= 1.0.0 =

  • Initial release. Adds Post ID column to admin for all UI-visible post types.

== Upgrade Notice ==

= 1.1.1 = Fixed compatibility with custom post types (CPTs) like machine_specs.

== License ==

This plugin is free software licensed under the GPL v2 or later.
