Slug Search and Admin Columns


This plugin really helped me save a lot of time on my client's site, which had more than 10,000 posts. Searching by slug makes finding content fast and stress-free compared to the default WordPress search. 



The slug and ID columns are super helpful and don’t slow down the admin at all.



Simple, lightweight, and a must-have for managing large WordPress sites.


This plugin really helped

Enhance your WordPress admin with powerful slug search, sortable ID and Slug columns, and flexible settings for better content management.
