No. SleekView Feedback reads directly from whatever table or post type you already collect feedback in. You point it at the source, pick the columns for votes, status, category, author, and title, and the board renders. No ETL, no sync, no duplicated data, and nothing to reconcile on release day.

Yes. SleekView ships with anonymous voting backed by cookies, so visitors can upvote ideas and bug reports without registering. You can also require login if you want the board limited to paying customers or beta testers, and the same view handles both modes with one attribute.

Each visitor gets a cookie scoped vote token per item, and logged in users are tracked by their WordPress user ID. The plugin exposes a rate limit so a single IP cannot spam the board, which keeps the score honest without forcing a signup wall in front of casual readers.

Yes. SleekView accepts a WHERE clause when you wire up the data source, so you can scope the board to a particular category, release version, or any meta key Astra already stores. Different boards on different pages can use different scopes, which is useful for keeping the front page focused on the current cycle.

Status is just a column on the row. Maintainers update it from the standard WordPress admin or from any custom triage screen you already run. SleekView reads the new status on the next page load and re renders the pill, so the team does not need to learn a separate moderation tool to keep the board accurate.

Both. Because votes write back to the source column, any list table, REST endpoint, or query that already sorts on that column starts ordering by the new score. Several teams use the same column to drive the private internal queue and the public board, with no extra wiring.

Both. SleekView ships as a Gutenberg block, an Elementor widget, a Bricks element, and a classic shortcode. Developers can call the render function from PHP and pass a configuration array, so you can mount the board on any Astra template or child theme without touching the page editor.

The view paginates server side and only loads the rows it needs to render the current page. Indexed columns stay fast even on very long tables. For huge backlogs, scoping the board by release or status keeps both the query and the audience focused, so the page feels snappy even when the archive is enormous.
