SleekView Charts for wpForo
wpForo stores forums, topics, posts, and members across wp_wpforo_* tables. SleekView Charts groups those rows into Number, Area, Pie, and Bar cards so moderators and site owners see activity and moderation pressure at a glance.

From wpForo widgets to a real dashboard
wpForo's admin centres on dashboard widgets — useful at a glance, but limited to fixed views. Topic, post, and member data live in wp_wpforo_topics, wp_wpforo_posts, and wp_wpforo_profiles, with parent forum context in wp_wpforo_forums. The data behind a trend chart or a per-forum leaderboard is all there, just not exposed as configurable charts.
SleekView Charts treats those tables as the source for a real dashboard. Each card picks a column to group by (forum ID, status, user group) and an aggregation (count of topics, sum of replies, average report count). The dashboard runs against the live tables, so the moderation queue length on the moderator's chart matches the queue length in their saved view.
Site owners get topics-per-day and reply-per-forum cards; moderators get a reported-content trend; community managers get a top-contributor leaderboard. Each card is a few clicks: source table, group column, aggregation, chart shape.

Features
What SleekView Charts gives you for wpForo
Cards over the wp_wpforo_ tables
Each card runs against the same tables wpForo uses for its own admin and front-end queries. No nightly export, no drift between the moderation grid and the management chart.
Trends from created timestamps
Group on created for daily, weekly, or monthly trends in topic creation, reply volume, or signup velocity. Spots after-launch spikes and seasonal slumps.
Per-forum leaderboards
Bar cards grouped on forumid rank forums by topic count, reply sum, or report count. The anchor forums and the silent ones become visible.
Audience
Who builds wpForo charts dashboards with SleekView
Forum moderators
Daily reported-content trend plus a status-mix pie. Sees moderation pressure rising before the queue overflows and where it's coming from.
Community managers
Top-contributors bar from per-author topic counts and per-forum reply leaderboards. Surfaces the members and forums carrying the community.
Site owners
Headline KPI for monthly topics and a 30-day trend line. The board-meeting view of forum health in one screen.
The bigger picture
Why forum owners need charts, not just widgets
Forums grow or stall slowly and the difference shows up first in trends, not in single-day snapshots. wpForo's widget dashboard answers "what's happening right now" reasonably well but not "is it more than last month". The data is all in wp_wpforo_topics, wp_wpforo_posts, and wp_wpforo_profiles, and the operational questions — is topic creation rising, are replies per topic going up, which forum suddenly went quiet — are aggregations away.
SleekView Charts is the in-admin tool that runs those aggregations against the same tables the moderation grid uses. The moderator's queue count and the manager's KPI match because they come from the same source rather than two reconciled dashboards.
Questions
Common questions about SleekView Charts for wpForo
