Columns

Three columns, each added only where it has something to say — plus the URL path, which isn't a column at all.

Modified

Added after the Date column (or at the end of the table when a screen has no Date column), on every post type the plugin touches.

Each cell shows the modified date, then a muted second line:

12 August 2026
#412 · 3 weeks ago · by Ada Lovelace

• #412 — the post ID, for when you need it in a query, a shortcode or a support thread.
• 3 weeks ago — the same timestamp, relative.
• by Ada Lovelace — the post's author, not whoever saved it last. WordPress does not record the last editor, so the column does not pretend to.

Sortable, on WordPress' native modified ordering.

Parent

Hierarchical post types only — Pages, and any CPT registered hierarchical. Added immediately after Title.

• Shows the parent's title, linked to that parent's branch view (see Filters & search) — one click to "show me everything under this".
• An em dash when the post is top-level.
• (no title) when the parent exists but has an empty title.

Sortable by parent title, not by parent ID. Sorting on the ID would group each branch together in an order nobody can read; the column adds a self-join to the parent row so A–Z means A–Z, with the row's own title as the tiebreaker.

Template

Shown only where the active theme registers page templates for that post type. Added after Title — after Parent, on hierarchical types.

• Shows the template's human name, linked to a filtered view of everything using it.
• An em dash for anything on the default template.
• When the stored template file no longer exists in the theme, the raw filename is shown instead of a name. That is the quickest way to find pages still pointing at a template a redesign deleted.

Not sortable — filter by it instead.

The URL path under every title

Not a column: a muted line directly under each title, so three pages called "Overview" stop being indistinguishable.

Overview
/services/europe/overview/

• The path is relative and decoded — /team/andré/, not a full URL with percent-escapes.
• Published and private posts show their real permalink, and the line is a link that opens in a new tab.
• Drafts, pending and scheduled posts show the pretty path they will get, as plain text — there is nothing to open yet.

WordPress escapes list-table titles before printing them, so markup appended to a title would show up literally. The path line is therefore collected while the table renders and injected under the title by a small script in the admin footer. One consequence worth knowing: it runs once, on page load, so a row that Quick Edit replaces over AJAX loses its path line until the next reload.

Next: Filters & search.
