Restrict Content (the free StellarWP plugin, formerly by Pippin Williamson) is intentionally lightweight: membership state lives in wp_usermeta under keys like rcp_status, rcp_subscription_level, rcp_expiration, and rcp_joined_date. Per-post restriction rules live in wp_postmeta on each restricted post. The default admin shows a basic users-with-membership list and no chart layer at all.

SleekView Charts reads the meta keys and exposes them as chart data sources. A Donut card splits active members by level. A Bar card buckets members by expiration window for renewal triage. A Bar card counts restricted posts by required level for content audits. An Area card plots signups by month from rcp_joined_date.

Because charts and the Table view share their source, drill-through is built in. Click the Premium Donut segment and the Table opens filtered to Premium members; click the Expiring This Week Bar column and the Table opens filtered to that cohort.

Restrict Content's lightweight storage approach (usermeta plus postmeta, no custom tables) is the right choice for the plugin's positioning but inherits WordPress's chart-layer gap. The default Users screen shows none of the rcp_ meta as columns; the default Posts screen shows none of the restriction meta. The plugin's own admin adds a basic users-with-membership list but no aggregate visualization, which means questions like which level cohort is largest, how the expiring-this-month cohort has trended, and how many restricted posts require Premium are answerable only through manual inspection or third-party tooling.

SleekView Charts reads both meta surfaces and provides a chart layer the plugin deliberately doesn't include. The plugin keeps managing access; the team running the membership gets the aggregate visibility that turns operational tasks into scheduled habits.
