WP Video Popup is a deliberately simple plugin: configuration lives in wp_options under the plugin's settings key, and popups are placed on pages and posts via the [wp_video_popup url="..."] shortcode (with optional attributes for provider, button text, autoplay, and dimensions). There is no custom post type, no popup library, and no admin chart of which pages embed which popup with which provider. The plugin gives a settings page and a shortcode reference; everything else lives in wp_posts.post_content.

SleekView Charts reads wp_posts.post_content for the [wp_video_popup] shortcode, parses out the url and provider attributes, and joins the results back to post type, status, and modification date. A Number card counts total popup placements across the site. A Pie splits placements by detected provider (YouTube, Vimeo, self-hosted). A Bar ranks post types by popup placement density. An Area card traces popup-placement cadence by the host post's post_modified.

Every card reads through the same wp_posts table WordPress already maintains, so popup playback, the settings page, and any cache layer continue to behave normally. The dashboard sits next to SleekView's table view of shortcode-bearing posts, with shared filters for per-template and per-section reviews.

WP Video Popup is intentionally small: a settings page, a shortcode, and a popup overlay. Its data lives in wp_options for configuration and inside wp_posts.post_content for every placement, which means there is no admin catalog, no library, and no chart of where popups exist on the site. That works fine on a site with two placements and becomes a problem the moment the team has dozens spread across post types and templates.

SleekView Charts reads wp_posts.post_content for [wp_video_popup] shortcode instances, parses the url and provider attributes, and joins the results back to post type and modification date. The dashboard then turns the catalog into chart cards: total placements, provider mix, per-post-type ranking, modification cadence. The plugin keeps rendering popups and managing settings.

The dashboard provides the placement visibility the shortcode-only model was never going to give natively, and the cross-section read that lets a content team plan video coverage at the site level rather than the page level.
