Frequently asked questions

Where do I see the post and term IDs?

After activation, post IDs will appear at the beginning of each row in your post list views for enabled post types. Similarly, term IDs will appear at the beginning of each row in your taxonomy term list views for enabled taxonomies.

Can I enable/disable this for specific post types and taxonomies?

Yes! Go to Settings > Quick ID Viewer to choose which post types and taxonomies should display IDs. This allows you to customize the plugin to show IDs only where you need them.

Does this work with custom post types and custom taxonomies?

Yes, Quick ID Viewer works with all registered public post types and taxonomies in your WordPress installation, including WooCommerce products, custom post types from other plugins, and any custom taxonomies you’ve created.

Will this slow down my admin panel?

No, Quick ID Viewer is extremely lightweight and only loads its resources on the specific admin pages where it’s needed. The plugin has been optimized for performance with minimal impact on admin page loading times.

Can I use this on a multisite installation?

Yes, Quick ID Viewer is compatible with WordPress multisite installations. You can activate it network-wide or on individual sites as needed.

Does this modify my database or content in any way?

No, Quick ID Viewer only displays information that already exists in your database. It doesn’t modify any content, create new database tables, or alter your existing data structure.

Will visitors to my site see the IDs?

No, Quick ID Viewer only works in the WordPress admin area. It doesn’t make any changes to your public-facing website, so visitors will never see the IDs.

Is this compatible with page builders?

Yes, Quick ID Viewer is compatible with all major page builders. It only affects the WordPress admin list views and doesn’t interfere with page builder functionality.

Can I copy multiple IDs at once?

The current version supports copying one ID at a time with a single click. We’re considering adding bulk copy functionality in a future update.

Does this work with Gutenberg?

Yes, Quick ID Viewer is fully compatible with the WordPress block editor (Gutenberg). It focuses on the admin list views rather than the editor itself.
