MetaSlider Pro keeps the same data shape as the free plugin: the ml-slider taxonomy holds sliders, the ml-slide custom post type holds slides, and theme, type, dimensions, and ordering live in postmeta and termmeta. Pro adds extra slide types (post feed, YouTube, Vimeo, HTML overlay, layer), a schedule meta key per slide, and additional themes. The Pro admin is still the slider editor though, so catalog-level questions like which Pro features are in use, how schedules are distributed, and which sliders never received content stay invisible.

SleekView Charts reads the ml-slider taxonomy and ml-slide post type together with the Pro postmeta. A Number card counts total sliders across the catalog. A Pie splits slides by type so the Pro post-feed and video slides sit next to plain image slides. A Bar ranks sliders by slide count, surfacing the heaviest carousels and the empty drafts. An Area chart of slide post_modified dates reveals editorial cadence across years of campaigns.

The chart layer reads through the existing tables, so MetaSlider Pro keeps owning composition, scheduling, and front-end output. Even on stores with hundreds of sliders and several thousand slides, queries hit the indexed post_type, taxonomy, and post_modified columns, so dashboards stay quick.

MetaSlider Pro sits on a content type that grows the same way every other content type grows: campaigns add sliders, redesigns leave themes stranded, and nobody decommissions the result. Pro adds rich slide types and scheduling on top of the core taxonomy and slide post type, which means the catalog questions get richer too: Pro feature mix, schedule coverage, post-feed slider counts. The default Pro admin is still the slider editor, excellent for the next slider and quiet about the existing inventory.

SleekView Charts reads the ml-slider taxonomy, the ml-slide post type, and the Pro postmeta the plugin already maintains and turns them into a dashboard with the KPIs, distributions, and cadence trends a slider library actually needs. The visual editor remains the composition surface. The chart layer takes over for inventory, license review, and editorial-cadence reads the editor was never meant to provide.
