No. SleekView reads the highrise_deal CPT that Highrise CRM for WordPress mirrors locally, and any upvote increment lands on a WordPress postmeta key. Status pill edits update the Highrise status meta, which the Highrise CRM for WordPress connector can mirror back during the next sync.

Yes. The Upvote button supports guest votes with a per-IP and per-session lock to keep counts honest. If you would rather restrict votes to logged-in users or specific roles like Editor or Stakeholder, you can flip that in the view settings without touching any code at all on the WordPress site.

You map the synced Highrise deal status as the status pill source when you build the view. SleekView shows a colored pill for each value, and any deal without a status simply renders without a pill rather than blocking the card from showing on the board at all in public.

Yes. SleekView reads whatever Highrise CRM for WordPress has mirrored. Multiple categories, multiple Highrise accounts, and archived categories can be filtered into separate saved views, so a marketing page can show one category and a sales page can show another without conflicts.

Yes. Every saved view has its own role and capability scope, so you can publish a public client feedback board on an agency page and a separate internal triage queue that only PMs and Admins can see. Both views share the same Highrise data underneath.

When the underlying highrise_deal record is removed by the next sync, SleekView removes the card on the next refresh. If the deal is archived rather than deleted, the card disappears from the public view but the upvote meta is preserved on the archived row for export and history.

Yes. SleekView views render as shortcodes, Gutenberg blocks, and short HTML snippets. Most agencies drop a Top votes view scoped to a single client category inside a password-protected portal page so clients see the upvote board without needing a Highrise seat at all today.

SleekView paginates and sorts at the database level rather than loading every highrise_deal into memory, so a sync history with thousands of synced deals still renders the top of the feedback board in well under a second on a normal shared host with default caching enabled today.
