Description

Catch IDs is a simple and light weight plugin to show the Post ID, Page ID, Media ID, Links ID, Category ID, Tag ID and User ID in the Admin Section Table. This plugin was initially develop to support our themes features slider. Then we thought that this will be helpful to all the WordPress Admin Users. Just activate and catch IDs in your page, post, category, tag and media pages.

Check out our new modular plugin Catch Web Tools. Power up your WordPress site with powerful features that were till now only available to Catch Themes users. We currently offer Webmaster Tools, Open Graph, Custom CSS, Social Icons, Catch IDs and basic SEO Optimization modules and will be adding more.

Brilliant

Very useful. Makes me wonder why the WordPress core developers haven't thought of that. Without this plugin you have to find the ID in the URL.

Simple, Useful Plugin

This should be a part of core. Such a simple and obvious solution to finding post and page IDs. Very useful for developers!
