SleekView Charts for WPForms Lite
SleekView Charts reads the posts and meta WPForms Lite uses to store submissions and form definitions. Entries per form, weekly cadence, source-page mix and completion trend render as Number, Pie, Bar and Area cards in WP Admin.

WPForms Lite has submission data. The default screens hide the shape.
WPForms Lite is the free tier of WPForms. It does not ship the wpforms_entries custom table that comes with WPForms Pro, so submissions are routed to email and tracked via the form post type plus a handful of meta keys. The list of forms lives in the wpforms post type, and submission timestamps and counts surface in form-meta keys WPForms updates on each completion.
That is enough to answer simple questions per form, one form at a time. It is not enough to compare cadence across every form on a site, spot which contact form is quietly going silent, or show a stakeholder a single chart of how submissions trend week over week. A growing business on the free tier still needs that overview, and the data is already on disk in the WordPress database.
SleekView Charts reads the wpforms post type plus the form-level meta WPForms Lite maintains. A Number card anchors total forms or total tracked submissions. A Pie splits submission counts across forms. A Bar ranks forms by submission volume. An Area trends form creation and update cadence over time. Same WPForms Lite data, organised as a dashboard rather than a list of forms.

Comparison
Default WPForms Lite reporting vs SleekView Charts
Default WPForms Lite admin
- No native entries table on the Lite tier, so per-form submission data lives in email and meta
- Submission counts per form surface inside each form's row, not as a comparison
- No chart of submission cadence over time on the free tier
- No cross-form pie or bar comparing form health
- No read-only dashboard URL to share with a marketer outside WP Admin
SleekView Charts
- KPI card summing tracked submissions across every WPForms Lite form
- Horizontal bar ranking forms by submission count
- Pie of form post_status (publish, draft, trash)
- Area trend of form creation cadence over time
- Same dashboard upgrades to WPForms Pro entries the moment the license is added
Features
What SleekView Charts gives you for WPForms Lite
Dashboard over the WPForms post type
Render every WPForms Lite form as Number, Pie, Bar and Area cards so site owners see the shape of submission activity instead of clicking each form open.
Filter by status and date
Filter to post_status of publish and date_modified within the last 30 days. The cards stay in sync with the WPForms list view behind them, no duplicate filtering required.
Spot quiet forms early
The horizontal bar makes a form with zero recent submissions instantly visible. Fix the embed or retire the form before another month of silent traffic loss.
Audience
Who builds WPForms Lite charts dashboards with SleekView
Solo site owners
Anchor a weekly check on total submissions and the per-form bar. Spot the contact form that stopped receiving entries before a client complains about the missing email.
Marketers on a budget
Track form-creation cadence against campaign launches. Match each new landing page to the form it powers and confirm the funnel is wired up before traffic arrives.
Agency caretakers
Run quarterly form audits across client sites still on WPForms Lite. The pie of post_status and the bar of submissions per form make stale or broken forms obvious in seconds.
The bigger picture
Why WPForms Lite users still need a dashboard
WPForms Lite is the most installed form plugin on WordPress because it does the simple thing well and stays out of the way. The trade-off for that simplicity is the lack of an entries table and the lack of any cross-form reporting in the admin. Most Lite users live with email as the source of truth for submissions and never see the shape of inbound activity across the whole site.
SleekView Charts closes that gap without forcing an upgrade. The wpforms post type and the meta WPForms Lite already writes are enough to render a Number KPI, a per-form bar and a creation-cadence area chart. Site owners see which forms are working, which are quiet and how the form footprint is growing, all without paying for a license tier they may not need yet.
When the upgrade to WPForms Pro does happen, the same SleekView dashboard reads the new wpforms_entries table automatically and gains entry-level cards on top.
Questions
Common questions about SleekView Charts for WPForms Lite
The wpforms post type and the form-level meta WPForms Lite writes (submission counters, last entry timestamps, status flags). On the Lite tier there is no wpforms_entries table, so per-entry cards depend on the WPForms Pro upgrade, but form-level cards work out of the box.
No. The form-level cards (counts, statuses, creation cadence, per-form ranking) read from the WPForms Lite post type and meta directly. The Pro upgrade unlocks an entries table, which SleekView Charts uses to add entry-grain cards without changing the existing dashboard.
Time-series accuracy on Lite is limited to what WPForms Lite stores in meta, typically last-entry timestamps and counters, not a per-entry log. That is enough for cadence and trend cards at form grain. For per-day or per-hour entry trends, the Pro tier with the wpforms_entries table is required.
No. SleekView Charts only runs queries when the dashboard is open in WP Admin and uses the indexes WordPress maintains on the posts and postmeta tables. There are no background jobs, no cron polling and no scheduled syncs.
Yes. Each saved dashboard is scoped by WordPress capability, so an editor can see the form-health view while the owner sees the cadence and audit views. Permissions follow the same model as any other SleekView dashboard.
Yes. On a multisite network with WPForms Lite active per subsite, SleekView Charts reads the wpforms post type on each subsite individually. A network-level rollup view can be built by joining across subsite tables if Better Search Replace or a similar tool has not changed the prefixes.
Yes. Every chart card has an export button that drops the underlying rows as CSV. Useful for sharing a list of low-traffic forms with a marketer or for archiving a snapshot before a major form cleanup.
Nothing breaks. The form-level cards keep reading the post type and meta they already read. As soon as wpforms_entries exists, SleekView Charts can add entry-grain cards (per-entry trend, per-status pie) to the same dashboard without rebuilding it.
