supportHey there, in one of the reviews i saw another user (@florisassies) suggesting to include a sort function. Now i’m no coder but i asked ChatGPT and it tweaked the plugin and it works. <?php /** * Admin Slug Column (Streamlined Version) * * @package Admin_Slug_Column_Simplified * @wordpress-plugin * Plugin Name: Admin Slug Column (Streamlined) * Description: Adds a sortable "Slug" column to the admin posts/pages list without additional columns. * Version: 1.0 * Author: Adapted Plugin */ // If this file is called directly, abort if ( ! defined( 'WPINC' ) ) { die; } // Only run plugin in the admin if ( ! is_admin() ) { return; } // Add slug column to admin posts/pages lists function add_slug_column($columns) { $columns['slug'] = __('Slug'); return $columns; } add_filter('manage_posts_columns', 'add_slug_column'); add_filter('manage_pages_columns', 'add_slug_column'); // Populate slug column with the post slug function display_slug_column_content($column, $post_id) { if ($column === 'slug') { $post = get_post($post_id); echo esc_html($post->post_name); // Display the post slug } } add_action('manage_posts_custom_column', 'display_slug_column_content', 10, 2); add_action('manage_pages_custom_column', 'display_slug_column_content', 10, 2); // Make slug column sortable function add_slug_column_sortable($columns) { $columns['slug'] = 'slug'; return $columns; } add_filter('manage_edit-post_sortable_columns', 'add_slug_column_sortable'); add_filter('manage_edit-page_sortable_columns', 'add_slug_column_sortable'); // Modify the query to sort by slug when requested function sort_by_slug_column($query) { if (!is_admin() || !$query->is_main_query()) { return; } $orderby = $query->get('orderby'); if ('slug' == $orderby) { $query->set('orderby', 'name'); // 'name' represents the slug in the database } } add_action('pre_get_posts', 'sort_by_slug_column');
HAH… love that effort. There’s an issue for this from way back; the last “it works” didn’t. I do have a small refactor I’m slowly working on and I’ll look at this issue again. Feel free to add a comment to https://github.com/chuckreynolds/Admin-Slug-Column/issues/13 and see what I can do. Thanks!
@ryno267 Thanks. I pasted the code in the Github issue. Good luck and thanks for the work you have already put into this plugin.
