How to append Post ID at the end of the URL for a Custom Post Type

When we select postname in in permalink settings for pretty permalink, for a custom post type the URL is http://domain.com/custom_post_type/post-slug

But some people want to append post ID at the end of the URL, like: http://domain.com/custom_post_type/post-slug/post-id

You can include this code in your functions.php or as a wordpress mu-plugin for safety 🙂

Happy WordPressing 🙂
