Take control of your WordPress admin list tables. Add, remove, and reorder columns for posts, users, media, and more - no coding needed. 

== Description ==

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:

* **Add any column** to posts, pages, users, media and comments
* **Reorder and resize** columns to match your workflow
* **Choose from 200+ column types** including custom fields, taxonomies and file data
* **Display rich metadata** such as images, dates, colors and relational fields
* **Create clean overviews** for even the most complex websites

It works for any site from simple blogs to large WooCommerce stores.

= Why Admin Columns? =

Default WordPress list tables are limited. They often show only the title, author and date.

Admin Columns turns them into useful management screens that show you what matters.

Examples:

* See **featured images, custom fields and taxonomies** directly in the post list table
* Display **media file size, dimensions or EXIF data**
* View **user metadata and roles** in the users screen
* Keep track of **large content libraries**

= Popular use cases =

Admin Columns is used by developers, agencies and site owners to manage content more efficiently.

Common setups:

* Managing **WooCommerce products** with price, SKU or stock columns
* Displaying **ACF custom fields** in post list tables
* Organizing **large media libraries**
* Reviewing **SEO metadata from Yoast**
* Organizing **custom post types** with the right columns

= Built for developers =

Admin Columns is open source and built to be extended. Use actions and filters to register custom column types, modify output or integrate with your own plugins.

* Full [hooks and filters reference](https://docs.admincolumns.com/article/15-hooks-and-filters/) for custom integrations
* Register column configurations in PHP for version-controlled setups
* Designed to work alongside page builders, custom post type plugins and third-party extensions
