Yes. SleekView reads the bbPress post types and user meta directly, so it works on the free plugin and on every Pro add-on stack. Favorites, subscriptions, and topic tags are stored the same way regardless of which add-ons you have installed, so the connector behaves identically across configurations.

They do. BuddyPress writes to the same _bbp_favorites user meta when a member favorites a bbPress topic through the activity stream. SleekView reads that meta, so a favorite added through BuddyPress shows up on the SleekView board on the next render with no extra mapping or sync job to schedule.

Yes. The data source picker accepts a parent forum filter and a tax_query for topic-tag terms, so a Bug Reports forum, a private members-only forum, or topics carrying a specific tag can each get their own dedicated SleekView board on a separate WordPress page without code changes.

Status pill updates set the bbPress topic-tag term you mapped to the status column. That is the only write. The topic, reply chain, and favorite count stay untouched, so moderators can revert a status by editing the tag and any audit log plugin watching the topic-tag taxonomy sees the change immediately.

Closed, hidden, and trashed topics drop off the board automatically because SleekView queries only published topics with the default open status. If you want a moderator view that includes spam or pending topics, the post_status filter accepts an array, so admins can triage hidden rows without exposing them publicly.

No. SleekView paginates the underlying WP_Query, caches the sorted set, and only loads the rows needed for the current page. A board with thirty thousand bbPress topics serves in roughly the same time as a board with five hundred because the meta query runs once and the cache covers every subsequent visit.

Anonymous voting is off by default because the bbPress favorites meta expects a user ID. You can enable a SleekView session-based fallback that stores guest votes in its own table and merges them on login, useful for public roadmap pages that get search engine traffic and casual visitors from outside the membership.

The SleekView config travels with the source mapping. Repoint the data source picker at the new schema (BuddyBoss, Asgaros, or any forum tables you can query) and the board renders again. Favorite data stays in the bbPress meta until you drop it, so a rollback during the migration window is always possible.
