Admin Columns lets you customize and organize the columns displayed in the WordPress admin list tables for posts, pages, users, comments and media.
Instead of the limited default list table, you get to display the information you actually need – like custom fields, featured images, taxonomies, file data and more.
Trusted by 100,000+ WordPress sites worldwide.
With a simple drag-and-drop interface you can:
<ul>
<li>Add any column to posts, pages, users, media and comments</li>
<li>Reorder and resize columns to match your workflow</li>
<li>Choose from 200+ column types including custom fields, taxonomies and file data</li>
<li>Display rich metadata such as images, dates, colors and relational fields</li>
<li>Create clean overviews for even the most complex websites</li>
</ul>
It works for any site from simple blogs to large WooCommerce stores.

<li>Keep track of large content libraries</li>
</ul>
