Overview
This plugin shows post/page/category/tag/comment/media/user IDs on admin’s edit post/page/category/tag/comment/media/user pages. You can see the ID when you visit an edit post/page/category/tag/comment/media/user page.
Since this plugin hooks on ‘edit’ link, only users with priviledges can see IDs. For example, a user of author role can see post IDs, while a user of subscriber role cannot.
You can find a brief description in Japanese on a book Introduction to PHP for WordPress Users. (written in Japanese.)
