SleekView Charts for WP Event Calendar
WP Event Calendar registers events as a custom post type tied to WordPress core. SleekView Charts turns those events and their meta into a configurable dashboard for editorial cadence and event mix.

Core-flavored plugin, real reporting layer
WP Event Calendar takes a deliberately WordPress-native approach: events register as a custom post type with start and end times stored as postmeta. The plugin uses core list table conventions in admin and core calendar UI patterns, but it does not add a reporting surface beyond what core provides.
SleekView Charts reads the WP Event Calendar events CPT through the same WordPress APIs core uses. Event start, end, type taxonomy, author, and status promote to columns. Aggregations run over those columns: events per type, monthly cadence, author activity, status distribution.
Because reads stay within core APIs, any meta layered on top of the events (through ACF, Meta Box, or a custom plugin) appears as columns automatically. The chart dashboard sits as a saved view next to the SleekView table and kanban built from the same dataset.

- Custom event fields stay inside the editor without a chart layer.
- Monthly cadence is invisible without external tooling.
- No saved chart views per role (planning, marketing, contributor).

Features
What SleekView Charts gives you for WP Event Calendar
Add a reporting surface
WP Event Calendar stays core-flavored. SleekView Charts adds the dashboard layer without changing the plugin or its data model.

Who builds WP Event Calendar charts dashboards with SleekView

Agencies on lean stacks
Sites that prefer core-flavored plugins still need reporting. The dashboard adds it without complicating the stack.
The bigger picture
Core-flavored plugin, core-grade reporting
WP Event Calendar earns its place on sites that want WordPress conventions all the way down: a CPT, the standard list table, the standard meta box, no proprietary schema. That choice keeps the stack lean and predictable, but it also means the reporting layer is whatever WordPress core ships, which is none. A planner who wants to see event-type balance, an editor who wants to see contributor activity, a program manager who wants to see monthly cadence all run out of admin support after the first question.
SleekView Charts treats the events CPT as a normal SleekView dataset and renders a four-card dashboard with the answers. Saved views become the planning rituals. The plugin keeps owning the calendar; SleekView just charts how the calendar fills up.
