Frontend Submission Manager stores every submission in front-end posted content stored as a custom post type with user-attributed meta. That layout is fast to query and easy to extend. The piece that has felt awkward is showing those submissions publicly in a structured way. The default options are exporting CSVs, building custom WP_Query templates, or paying for a hosted feedback board, and none play nicely with a tight Frontend feedback loop.

SleekView Feedback skips that round trip and reads the Frontend entry tables in place. You point a view at any Frontend form, pick the field that holds the title, the field that holds the category, the field that holds the status, and a numeric field that tracks votes. The board renders one card per entry, sorted by vote count, with status and category pills painted from your existing form choices.

Because submitted content stays as a custom post type, every Frontend Submission Manager feature keeps working. Front-end editing, role-based gating, file attachments, the moderation queue, and the email notification flow all run against the source post. SleekView Feedback adds a public, vote-driven render of the approved submissions without touching the moderation pipeline that the plugin handles inside WP Admin.

Frontend Submission Manager is usually one of the most relied-on plugins on the sites where it runs. It collects requests, leads, and feedback in one place, and teams rarely want to add another vendor just to make those submissions public. Yet whenever a client or product manager asks for a feedback board with upvotes and badges, the path of least resistance has been a hosted product like Canny or UserVoice.

That adds a second monthly bill, a second login, and a sync layer between WordPress and the board that breaks every time Frontend Submission Manager ships a meaningful update. SleekView Feedback removes all of that overhead. The board reads the existing Frontend Submission Manager entries, the Upvote button writes back to the same entry row, and the moderation queue stays in the standard Frontend Submission Manager entry list your team already uses.

For agencies, the practical impact is faster delivery on a common ask, no extra retainer for board administration, and a clearer story for clients about where their data lives.
