SleekView Charts for Otter Blocks: block usage and page footprint

Otter Blocks saves blocks straight into wp_posts.post_content as markers parsed by the block API. SleekView Charts reads the parsed block list and builds a dashboard of total Otter pages, top blocks used, author footprint, and edit cadence.

SleekView Charts dashboard for Otter Blocks

Read your Otter Blocks usage as charts, not page lists

Otter Blocks (by ThemeIsle) ships a wide library of themeisle-blocks/* blocks (themeisle-blocks/advanced-heading, themeisle-blocks/section, themeisle-blocks/button-group, themeisle-blocks/posts-grid, themeisle-blocks/icon-list, themeisle-blocks/lottie) that get saved straight into wp_posts.post_content as block markup. The default Pages screen lists titles, authors, and dates with zero awareness of which Otter blocks each page uses.

SleekView Charts calls parse_blocks() on post_content, extracts every themeisle-blocks/* block name, and exposes them as a real column. A Number card pins total pages that contain at least one Otter block. A Donut splits usage across the top Otter block types. A Bar ranks authors by Otter pages built, and an Area card maps edit cadence using post_modified.

This is not a replacement for the block editor. Otter still owns block rendering, the visibility conditions UI, and the patterns library. SleekView Charts adds the reporting surface Otter never shipped: which blocks the site relies on, how usage breaks down per author, and how active those pages stay, all from the same block markup the editor already writes into the post.

Workflow

From parsed themeisle-blocks/* to a dashboard

1

Point SleekView at parsed blocks

Add a SleekView data source for wp_posts with the block-parser column enabled. SleekView calls parse_blocks() on post_content and exposes the list of themeisle-blocks/* block names per post as a real column.
2

Switch the view to Charts

Flip the view from Table to Charts. SleekView opens a blank dashboard ready for chart cards built on the parsed Otter block column, plus post type, status, author, and modified date.
3

Add chart cards

Drop a Number card for total Otter pages, a Donut for the top themeisle-blocks/* types, a Bar for authors ranked by Otter pages built, and an Area card for edit cadence on those pages.
4

Save and share

Name the view ("Otter usage audit", "Block coverage review") and gate access by WordPress capability so agency leads, editors, and clients each see the cards that matter to their role.

Sample dashboard

Charts you can build from Otter Blocks data

Four cards that turn parsed themeisle-blocks/* markup into a working Otter usage dashboard inside WordPress.
Number · Default

Total Otter pages

A single big-number KPI counting posts whose post_content contains at least one themeisle-blocks/* block marker, scoped to published status across pages, posts, and CPTs.
Count
Pie · Donut

Top Otter blocks used

A donut split across the top Otter blocks (themeisle-blocks/advanced-heading, themeisle-blocks/section, themeisle-blocks/button-group, themeisle-blocks/posts-grid) parsed from post_content.
Count group by block_name
Bar · Default

Pages by author

A vertical bar ranking WordPress users by the number of Otter-bearing pages they own, resolved against wp_users so handover and workload audits become trivial.
Count group by post_author
Area · Gradient

Edits per week

A gradient area chart of edits per week on Otter-bearing posts, sourced from post_modified on the rows in wp_posts that carry themeisle-blocks/* markers.
Count group by post_modified

Comparison

Default Otter Blocks admin vs SleekView Charts

Default Otter Blocks admin

  • No built-in chart view, only a paginated Pages list with no block breakdown
  • Count of pages using Otter blocks requires manual auditing or SQL
  • Block type mix (which themeisle-blocks/* are popular) is not summarised anywhere
  • No time-series view of Otter-page edits per week or per month
  • Author workload and block ownership are invisible from the list view

SleekView Charts

  • Number cards for total Otter pages and total unique blocks used
  • Pie or Donut cards splitting the top themeisle-blocks/* names by count
  • Bar cards ranking authors or block types by pages built
  • Area or Line cards plotting edits per week from post_modified
  • Same filters (type, author, status, block name) apply to every chart card

Features

What SleekView Charts gives you for Otter Blocks

Real block markup drives real charts

Charts pull from wp_posts.post_content parsed with the standard parse_blocks() API. SleekView exposes themeisle-blocks/* block names as a real column, no exports, no shadow copy, no third-party scraper.

Filters carry across cards

Set a block filter, a date range, or an author scope once and every chart card on the dashboard respects it. The audit table and the chart view share one saved configuration across the whole site.

Editorial pulse as a curve

Group by post_modified truncated to week to chart Otter page edit activity over time. Quiet weeks, freeze periods, and campaign pushes become visible without manual log review.

Audience

Who builds Otter chart dashboards with SleekView

Agencies

Client-facing block usage dashboards with total Otter pages, top blocks in use, and edit cadence, refreshed on every visit without manual export.

Editorial teams

Pages-by-author and weekly edit volume on one screen so workload, block preferences, and handover risk are visible at a glance.

Site owners

A donut of Otter block types plus a stale-pages count surfaces unused blocks and housekeeping debt before redesign time.

The bigger picture

Why Otter Blocks sites deserve a usage chart view

Otter Blocks ships a large block library that overlaps with the ThemeIsle theme ecosystem, popular with sites running Neve and Hestia. On a long-running site, a single landing page can carry six or seven different themeisle-blocks/* blocks, and across hundreds of pages the long tail of which blocks are used where stays invisible from the WordPress admin. The data is already in post_content.

Every Gutenberg block is saved as serialised markup with a themeisle-blocks/* block name, parseable by parse_blocks() on read. SleekView Charts parses that once, caches the block list per post, and lets the chart view answer the questions content leads actually ask. How many pages use Otter at all.

Which blocks are the workhorses. Which authors lean on which blocks. Where edit activity concentrates.

Otter keeps owning the block library, the chart view finally gives the surrounding metadata a place where content leads, editors, and site owners can read it on demand.

Questions

Common questions about SleekView Charts for Otter Blocks

Directly from wp_posts.post_content parsed with WordPress's parse_blocks() API. SleekView extracts the list of themeisle-blocks/* block names found in each post and exposes that list as a real column, so chart cards can group by block name like any other field. No export, no shadow copy.

 

Yes. Group a Donut or Bar card by the parsed block name and SleekView ranks Otter blocks by how often they appear across the site. Filter further to a single block when an audit focuses on, for example, every page using themeisle-blocks/posts-grid before a query argument changes in an Otter update.

 

Group an Area or Line card by post_modified truncated to week or month, aggregated by Count, scoped to posts that carry themeisle-blocks/* blocks. The curve shows when those pages are being touched, useful for tracking campaign cadence and stretches of zero activity.

 

Yes. View-level filters such as post type, author, status, date range, and parsed Otter block name apply to every chart card on the dashboard. One saved configuration drives both the audit table and the chart view, so reporting and housekeeping stay aligned.

 

Yes. The expensive operation is calling parse_blocks() on every post_content. SleekView caches the parsed block name list per post so subsequent chart renders hit a lightweight indexed column instead of re-parsing the block markup, even on sites with tens of thousands of posts.

 

Yes. The parsed block column lists every block name found in post_content, core blocks and themeisle-blocks/* blocks side by side. Filter to posts that contain both themeisle-blocks/* and specific core blocks to map the overlap, useful before swapping an Otter block for a core equivalent.

 

Charts are read-only summaries by design. To act on a chart insight, switch to the audit table filtered to the same slice (for example, every page using a specific themeisle-blocks/* block) and open the row in the block editor from there. Inline edits route through the standard WordPress update path.

 

Otter Blocks does not ship a reporting screen for block usage, so there is nothing to replace. SleekView Charts adds a reporting surface on top of the post_content markup Otter already writes, so the plugin keeps owning the block library and the chart view owns the cross-site summarisation.
