More Information

Combined with the manage_pages_columns filter, this allows you to add or remove (unset) custom columns to the list page pages. Note that if you are using custom post types and it has ‘hierarchical‘ => true, then you will need to use this action hook and not manage_$post_type_posts_custom_column.

    To add “Template” column into page list:

    add_filter( 'manage_pages_columns', 'page_column_views' );
    add_action( 'manage_pages_custom_column', 'page_custom_column_views', 5, 2 );
    function page_column_views( $defaults )
    {
    	$defaults['page-layout'] = __('Template', 'textdomain');
    	return $defaults;
    }
    function page_custom_column_views( $column_name, $id )
    {
    	if ( $column_name === 'page-layout' ) {
    		$set_template = get_post_meta( get_the_ID(), '_wp_page_template', true );
    		if ( $set_template == 'default' ) {
    			echo __('Default Template', 'textdomain');
    		}
    		$templates = get_page_templates();
    		ksort( $templates );
    		foreach ( array_keys( $templates ) as $template ) :
    			if ( $set_template == $templates[$template] ) echo $template;
    		endforeach;
    	}
    }

    To add to other post types (not post, page or attachment…):

    The hooks to create custom columns and their associated data for a custom post type are manage_{$post_type}_posts_columns and manage_{$post_type}_posts_custom_column respectively, where {$post_type} is the name of the custom post type.

    // Add the custom columns to the book post type:
    add_filter( 'manage_book_posts_columns', 'set_custom_edit_book_columns' );
    function set_custom_edit_book_columns($columns) {
        unset( $columns['author'] );
        $columns['book_author'] = __( 'Author', 'textdomain' );
        $columns['publisher'] = __( 'Publisher', 'textdomain' );
    
        return $columns;
    }
    
    // Add the data to the custom columns for the book post type:
    add_action( 'manage_book_posts_custom_column' , 'custom_book_column', 10, 2 );
    function custom_book_column( $column, $post_id ) {
        switch ( $column ) {
    
            case 'book_author' :
                $terms = get_the_term_list( $post_id , 'book_author' , '' , ',' , '' );
                if ( is_string( $terms ) )
                    echo $terms;
                else
                    _e( 'Unable to get author(s)', 'textdomain' );
                break;
    
            case 'publisher' :
                echo get_post_meta( $post_id , 'publisher' , true ); 
                break;
    
        }
    }

    Example migrated from Codex:

    Once you have added your column (for this example, thumbnail), the featured image can be displayed for that page in the new thumbnail column.

    function custom_page_column_content( $column_name, $post_id ) {
    	if ( $column_name == 'thumbnail' ) {
    		$post_thumbnail_id = get_post_thumbnail_id( $post_id );
    		if ( $post_thumbnail_id ) {
    			$post_thumbnail_img = wp_get_attachment_image_src( $post_thumbnail_id, 'thumbnail' );
    			echo '<img src="' . $post_thumbnail_img[0] . '" />';
    		}
    	}
    }
    
    add_action( 'manage_pages_custom_column', 'custom_page_column_content', 10, 2 );
