## FAQ

### Does this plugin also show IDs in the backend?

No. This plugin is intentionally designed to remain lightweight and focused on a
single purpose: quickly accessing content by ID from the admin bar.

If you need to view IDs within the WordPress admin interface, there are other plugins
available that provide this functionality. Alternatively, you can often find the
ID by hovering over an “Edit” link, where it appears in the URL.

### Can I contribute?

Yes, contributions are welcome.

To help maintain the plugin’s simplicity and focused scope, please open an issue
to discuss any proposed changes before submitting a pull request.
