AppRanks verdict
Generated from live marketplace data — refreshed daily
Admin Columns is a category-leading WordPress app with an established review history. It is listed in the Admin category on WordPress Plugin Directory, which AppRanks treats as the canonical taxonomy node for ranking and competitor comparison. 1,651 reviews show steady adoption but the app hasn't crossed the heavy-volume bar yet. Review accumulation at this stage tends to come from segment-specific use cases rather than universal adoption, so fit-to-stack matters more than category-leader brand recognition. Paid-only pricing means evaluating fit on the marketplace listing or via the developer's documentation before installing. AppRanks tracks rating, review count, pricing tier, and category position daily — the figures on this page reflect the most recent scrape from the canonical WordPress Plugin Directory listing.
Pros
- +High average rating (4.9★) signals consistent merchant satisfaction
- +1,651 reviews provide statistical reliability for the rating average
- +Published by Codepress — established developer track record
Cons

How Admin Columns works
Show full descriptionShow less
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

Display rich metadata such as images, dates, colors and relational fields
