What It Does

Show Pages IDs adds a column displaying the numeric ID of every post and page directly in your WordPress admin lists, and also surfaces those IDs on the admin bar when viewing content. This eliminates the need to open each post or use developer tools to find an ID, which is especially useful when configuring plugins, building shortcodes, or writing custom queries. The plugin keeps the interface clean by limiting the visible ID display to admin contexts only.

Who It's For

This plugin is ideal for developers and site builders who frequently need post or page IDs to configure plugins, set up custom fields, write WP_Query arguments, or build relationships between content types. Content managers running large WordPress sites with hundreds of pages, agencies handling multiple client installs, and anyone building custom post relationships will find it saves considerable time over manual ID lookups. It suits small to medium complexity sites where a quick visual reference is more practical than querying the database.

Who Should Skip It

Casual bloggers running small sites with under 50 posts or pages will likely never need to reference an ID and can skip this plugin entirely. Users comfortable using browser inspector tools or the REST API endpoint to grab IDs also do not need the extra admin clutter this adds.

The Bottom Line

Show Pages IDs does one job and does it well, earning a Quality Score of 80.41/100 with perfect user ratings and active maintenance. The lack of support threads and modest install base mean there is limited community troubleshooting available if something breaks, but the simplicity of the feature reduces the risk of major issues. It is a solid pick for developers and content managers who regularly work with post IDs, and a non-essential add-on for everyone else.
