WPAdverts stores classifieds listings as the advert custom post type with status (publish, pending, expired), the advert_category taxonomy, advert_location, advert_price and an expiration date in postmeta. The default admin shows a posts-style list with limited filtering and per-listing edit screens, which is fine for moderating a single ad and not enough for understanding the listings catalogue or the cadence at which it grows.

SleekView Charts reads wp_posts filtered to post_type=advert, joined with wp_postmeta for advert_price, advert_location and expiration date, plus the advert_category taxonomy. A Number card counts active listings. A Pie shows the listings split across advert_category. A Bar ranks the top categories or locations by listing count. An Area trends new listings per day from post_date.

Filters on the underlying listings table view (status, category, price range, expiration window) narrow every chart card on the dashboard in one click. The cards read post and postmeta data WPAdverts already writes, so no second tracker is introduced.

WPAdverts captures something genuinely useful: a catalogue of listings with categories, locations, prices and expirations stored as a custom post type and postmeta. The default surface tucks that signal into a posts-style list, which is the right place to moderate a single ad and unhelpful for almost everything operators and editors do at the catalogue level. A total-listings KPI anchors monthly catalogue reports, a category pie surfaces editorial imbalance, a location bar identifies regional gaps and an Area on post_date tells the team whether promotions actually drive submissions.

Same wp_posts rows, charted instead of listed, which is the difference between moderating ads one by one and running the catalogue as a product.
