What It Does

This plugin shows post, page, category, tag, comment, media, and user IDs on the admin's edit pages. You can see the ID when you visit an edit post, page, category, tag, comment, media, or user page.

Since this plugin hooks on the 'edit' link, only users with privileges can see the IDs. For example, a user with the author role can see post IDs, while a user with the subscriber role cannot.

You can find a brief description in Japanese in the book 'Introduction to PHP for WordPress Users.' (written in Japanese.)
