Echo Knowledge Base keeps every article in wp_posts under custom post types like epkb_post_type_1, organized by the matching epkb_post_type_1_category taxonomy and tagged with the EPKB tag taxonomy. View counts and ratings land in wp_postmeta under keys like epkb_views and epkb_article_rating. The default admin gives you a clean article list and per-KB settings, but no public-facing way to see which articles your readers actually want updated or which the writing team has already reviewed.

SleekView reads those tables directly and renders one feedback card per article. Pick the epkb_views meta as the vote weight, attach a kb_review_status meta for the status badge, and pull the EPKB category taxonomy as the chip. Readers and writers can upvote an article card to flag content that needs a refresh or a clarification, and the increment writes back to the meta key you choose so reporting stays consistent across the knowledge base.

Because SleekView is read-only against the Echo records, the article editor and the existing rating widget keep working exactly as before. SleekView only adds a parallel review surface that ranks articles by votes, shows category chips, and exposes status pills so anyone on the team can spot Stale, Needs update, and Reviewed articles at a glance.

Echo Knowledge Base ships a clean reader experience and a serviceable rating widget, but the review loop is still admin-side. A reader hits Not helpful, the writer sees a thumbs-down count in the admin column, and the actual reason gets lost. There is no way to ask the room which doc needs the most attention this week, no surface where support reps can drop the URL that just burned them on a ticket, no public board where customers can see whether their feedback has been seen at all.

SleekView gives the same EPKB records a public, vote-driven home. Writers get a saved Triage board sorted by view count and review status pill. Support reps get a board they can upvote against during ticket triage so the next planning session sees the right articles at the top.

Customers get a public feedback wall where they can upvote articles they want updated without filing a support ticket. Nothing about Echo changes underneath, the article editor stays the source of truth, and the review loop now lives where the team and the readers already work each day.
