Show post ID in the title column
Hi, because I am not using the title field for my custom posts I would like to replace the post titles with the post ID’s. Is there an easy way to do this?
Hi Johan,
Admin Columns itself offers no quick feature for this, but you can easily achieve it by using a built-in WordPress filter. Applying the filter the_title selectively should work.
add_filter( 'the_title', 'myplugin_overview_post_title', 10, 2 );
function myplugin_overview_post_title( $title, $postid ) {
global $pagenow;
$post_type = 'my-custom-post-type';
// Only use the ID in the overview for the specified custom post type
if ( $pagenow == 'edit.php' && ! empty( $_GET['post_type'] ) && $_GET['post_type'] == $post_type ) {
return $postid;
}
return $title;
}
Best,
Jesper
