Custom columns in the post list admin screen

In this example I've created new columns for a custom-post-type called "releases". This is referenced in add_action and add_filter, you'd need to change the name within, matching the format so the add_action would become manage_POSTTYPE_posts_custom_column and the add_filter would become manage_POSTTYPE_posts_columns, replacing POSTTYPE for the name of your custom-post-type.

This code goes in your theme's functions.php file.

Another note; you'll notice I've only had to specify content for four of the nine columns, this is because they're the only non "Built-in" column types. The full list of Built-in Column Types is as follows:

• cb
• title
• author
• categories
• tags
• comments
• date

I hope this helps someone. Have a magical day filled with wild monkeys and donkeys dressed as unicorns.

Great, it works! I just share my shorter code for only one extra custom field called "type", if it helps somebody:

  $cols = array(
  'cb'         => '<input type="checkbox" />',
  'title'      => 'Title',
  'author'      => 'Author',
  'date'       => 'Date',
  'type'       => 'Type',
  );
  return $cols;
}
function custom_columns( $column ) {
global $post;
	if( $column == 'type' ) {
	    $typ = get_field('type1');
	    if( $typ ) {
	        echo $typ;
		} else {
			echo '-';
		}
	}
}
add_action( "manage_job_posts_custom_column", "custom_columns", 10, 2 );
add_filter( "manage_job_posts_columns", "change_columns" );

Thanks @bolando!
