Code snippet integration
Very useful plugin, but would be much better if setting the desired ID number range was integrated into plugin as a setting rather than relying on a code snippet.

Perfect Plugin
I love this plugin. It easily solved a couple problems I was grappling with. It seems like such a simple concept that I'm pretty surprised more developers haven't come up with something similar. Would very much appreciate seeing confirmation that this plugin is up to date for the latest Wordpress versions.

Handy Plugin A+
Well built and does its job. Easy to customize for shorter ID's (16 digits was too much for my use, lol). Really a great addition to the WP repo, top-notch, my thanks to the dev! Saved me a nice chunk of time finishing this project :)
