Overview
Simply shows the ID of Posts, Pages, Media, Links, Categories, Tags and Users in the admin tables for easy access. Very lightweight.
A common complaint about the edit posts, pages, media, links, categories, tags and users pages is that there is no easy way to see the ID of the specific item. This plugin will add a new column titled ‘ID’ that will display each items ID.
IDs for categories, tags and users will only display when using WordPress 2.8 or newer.
This plugin is very simplistic and thus very lightweight. To facilitate the need of a lightweight alternative to other plugins of its type this plugin was created.
Props to Joel Fisher for getting me moving on this plugin.

Nutze ich bei (fast) allen Projekten
by WP-Dummie·2 years ago
Macht das, was der Name sagt: Es zeigt im Backend die IDs von Seiten und Beiträgen. Diese braucht eins häufiger für Shortcodes. Es wird im Backend einfach eine Spalte hinzugefügt.
Das Plugin ist zwar uralt, aber ich hatte keine Probleme in den aktuellen Versionen.
Still Kickin’

Does what it says

Working flawless, no errors, 2 years old and still no update needed.
Still works

Maybe not the latest super trick plugin – but it still does what it says it will do, even if it hasn’t been updated in years. Why fix it if it isn’t broken. Who gave it three stars?
Works like a charm

Activate this plugin, or cull together scraps of code from across the internet? There’s no contest. This plugin does the job perfectly, even for custom taxonomies.
