Admin Module

Show IDs

Show IDs displays database ID numbers in admin list tables for posts, pages, categories, tags, and users. Developers frequently need IDs for custom queries, shortcodes, or theme development. Instead of hovering over links or checking URLs, see IDs directly in the list. Simple utility that saves time when working with WordPress at a technical level.
