SleekView Charts for Blog Designer: share dashboards
Blog Designer styles your blog grid and post layouts, but pairs naturally with social-share plugins that drop share counts into postmeta. SleekView Charts reads those values plus Blog Designer's post layouts and turns them into KPIs, network donuts, ranked bars, and trends.

Blog layouts plus share data deserve a dashboard
Blog Designer by Solwin renders attractive blog layouts (grids, masonry, cards) on top of standard WordPress posts and integrates with most popular social-share plugins. Share counts from those companion plugins land on each post as postmeta keys such as shares_total, shares_facebook, and shares_pinterest, but Blog Designer itself focuses on rendering layouts, not on analytics.
SleekView Charts treats wp_posts plus the share-count postmeta as the dataset they already are. Point a SleekView source at wp_postmeta filtered by share-related keys, join to wp_posts by post_id for titles and publish dates, and every chart card becomes possible. A Number KPI sums totals, a Donut splits the network mix, a Horizontal Bar ranks the top-shared posts in your Blog Designer grid, and an Area chart trends shares against the post_date column.
Blog Designer keeps doing what it does best: making the front-end layout look good. The chart dashboard sits inside WP admin as a reading layer on top of the share-related postmeta plus the same wp_posts rows the layout renders from, so editors finally know which posts in their carefully designed grid are actually driving shares.

Features
What SleekView Charts gives you for Blog Designer
Layouts plus analytics
Blog Designer makes the front-end grid look great while SleekView Charts answers which posts in that grid are actually pulling shares. The two together cover the design and the data with no overlap.
Networks ranked together
Group postmeta by meta_key so Facebook, X, Pinterest, and LinkedIn counts sit next to each other in a donut. One glance answers which network is actually driving shares across your Blog Designer grid.
Client-ready reports
Save chart views, scope them per role, and embed them on a frontend page or client portal so stakeholders see weekly share progress alongside the Blog Designer grid without needing WP admin access.
Audience
Who builds Blog Designer dashboards with SleekView
Editorial teams
A top-posts bar tells the editorial team which articles in the Blog Designer grid are actually being shared, while the donut answers which platforms deserve more attention in next month's plan.
Content marketers
Group by category and sum share-count meta to see which topic clusters in the Blog Designer grid earn the most shares, then plan the next campaign around the formats and topics that perform.
Agencies on client blogs
Build a share dashboard per client blog and embed it on a private frontend page so clients see weekly progress next to the Blog Designer layout, without needing access to WordPress admin.
The bigger picture
Pairing pretty layouts with real reading data
Blog Designer made its reputation by turning standard WordPress blog grids into layouts that actually look like 2024-era design instead of 2009-era defaults. What it does not do is help the editorial team learn from how those layouts are performing. Whatever share counts you collect through a companion plugin sit in postmeta with no in-admin reporting on top, and the carefully designed grid does not answer which entries are actually pulling readers and shares.
SleekView Charts treats the share postmeta plus the same wp_posts rows Blog Designer renders as the dataset they already are. A KPI for total shares, a donut for the network mix, a ranked bar of the top entries in the grid, and a publish-date trend all sit on one saved dashboard inside WP admin. The Blog Designer layout stays untouched on the front end; what changes is that the team finally has a real reading layer behind the pretty grid.
Questions
Common questions about SleekView Charts for Blog Designer
Blog Designer focuses on layouts and does not record share counts directly. Most installs pair it with a separate social-share plugin that writes counts into wp_postmeta. SleekView Charts then reads whatever share meta keys that companion plugin uses.
You configure the meta keys per chart card on the SleekView source. The convention is one key per network plus a total, but any consistent prefix used by your share plugin works. SleekView reads whatever your install already records.
Yes. The Horizontal Bar card groups by post_id, sums share meta_value, and joins to wp_posts so the axis renders the post titles that Blog Designer also displays in the grid, giving a direct ranking of grid entries.
No. SleekView only reads existing rows from wp_postmeta and wp_posts. Blog Designer keeps rendering its layouts on the front end exactly as configured, and your visitors see the same grid they always have without any changes.
Yes. SleekView lets you filter the wp_posts source by joined taxonomy columns. Build separate dashboards per category to see which sections of the Blog Designer grid earn the most shares, all from the same share meta keys.
Yes. Saved chart views support role-based visibility, so editors and SEO leads can read share dashboards while authors or subscribers see only what their role allows. The same scoping applies to embedded frontend dashboards for client portals.
Yes. Any saved SleekView chart view can be embedded on a frontend page or admin page with role-based access, useful for agencies who want to show clients how the Blog Designer grid is performing without giving them WP admin access.
No. SleekView Charts works with the standard wp_posts rows Blog Designer renders plus whatever share meta keys your companion plugin writes. No Blog Designer add-on is required, and Blog Designer's settings stay exactly as you configured them.
