Simply Show IDs
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.

Thanks so much! I’ve been needing this.
Very important plugin, actually this should be basic feature of wordpress.. *****
Feature request: show also ID’s of categories.
@Jukka:
The hooks required to modify the categories table in the admin do not exist in 2.7 or before. 2.8 will add these hooks. I have already begun updating the plugin for WordPress 2.8 which will also show IDs for tags, categories and users.
@Matt: Nice plugin!
simple but useful
Matt:
This is a great little plug-in. While surfing, the net one day, I just happened to get a whiff of this little doozy and didn’t remember were I say it. Took me a coulple of days to find it after I realized how useful it would be. But I got it now.
Thanks for this simple but absolutely needed plugin.
This plugin is great – installs and works flawlessly. I hope this functionality is put back into the core for WP 2.9.
Thanks again – I’ll be at #wordcampnyc 2009 – I will try to thank you in person!
Thank you so very much for this plug-in. I absolutely love it! My very first sales page is up and running “Pretty Darned Quick” thanks to your great plug in. It was easy to upload and even easier to use. Thanks again!
Hello, I think i’ve found a bug which makes this plugin incompatible with other plugins which use the “manage_categories_custom_column” filter. your function, ssid_return_value looks like this:
function ssid_return_value($value, $column_name, $id) {
if ($column_name == 'ssid'){
return $id;
}
}
But, if there are multiple manage_categories_custom_column filters, and yours comes AFTER another, then that OTHER column’s value never shows up, because your function says ONLY if the column name is ‘ssid’, should ANYTHING be returned. if you add a “return $value;” at the end, the problem is solved.
function ssid_return_value($value, $column_name, $id) {
if ($column_name == 'ssid'){
return $id;
}
return $value;
}
Thanks for your great plugin!
@Jeremy: Thanks for catching that. I have just updated the plugin and tagged it. An update should show up shortly.
