There have been a lot changes to WordPress recently – but one that I don’t like is the loss of page and post IDs in the admin section.
Remember when you used to see the list of post and pages and there was a column with the page ID of each one? I found that really useful. Ok, it was probably because many of my plugins use the page IDs, but nevertheless, I miss being able to see them at a glance.
So, I set myself a mission to discover how to get them back and hopefully find an easy and simple way of implementing the solution across any blog. Well, it was indeed a journey of discovery, but persistence paid off in the end and I now have myself a plugin which will automatically add a new column to the Manage Posts and Manage Pages admin screen, containing the ID of the listed posts and pages.
As I say, this was one I created mainly for myself because so many of my other plugins make use of the post or page IDs, but I am hearing that other people also miss being able to see these IDs so here it is for everyone.
There’s no configuration or options, just upload and activate it and your IDs will appear.
By the way, I probably wouldn’t have been able to do it without the info provided by Edward Dale. Thanks buddy
