SleekView Feedback for wpForo
SleekView Feedback reads the wpforo_topics table, sorts every thread by likes, votes, or any custom meta you store, and renders a clean upvote board with category pills mapped to your existing wpForo forum tree so the loudest threads finally beat the latest reply.

Why wpForo deserves a vote-driven view
wpForo stores topics in wp_wpforo_topics, posts in wp_wpforo_posts, and per-post likes in wp_wpforo_likes. The default forum index sorts by last reply, which works fine for a small forum and stops working once your community grows past a few thousand members. High-quality feature requests slide off the front page within hours, replaced by support threads that bumped to the top thanks to a single drive-by reply.
SleekView Feedback reads those exact tables. Point it at wpforo_topics for rows, then choose the like count, the reply count, or a custom upvote_count meta as the numeric sort column. Status pills map to a topic meta field like Phase, and category pills map directly to the wpForo forum hierarchy so subforums become colored badges on the board with no manual taxonomy editing.
Each Upvote click writes a real wpForo like back through the standard like API, which means existing wpForo reputation, badge add-ons, and Pro reporting all stay in lockstep with the new board. The board does not duplicate the like table, does not run a parallel vote system, and does not need a sync job to keep wpForo and the board agreeing on which thread is the most popular.

Comparison
wpForo index versus SleekView Feedback
Default wpForo forum index
- Forum index sorts by last reply by default, with no vote-based sort option in any layout.
- Like counts from wpforo_likes never drive ordering on any public wpForo page out of the box.
- Status of a request lives in topic titles or a single sticky post, never as a colored pill.
- Filtering by forum requires clicking through the forum tree instead of using inline tag pills.
- Moderators have no roadmap-style overview, so triage means scrolling forum pages one by one.

- Category pills mirror the wpForo forum hierarchy automatically across every render.
- Upvote writes a real wpForo like, keeping reputation and badge add-ons fully in sync.
- Status pill stored as topic meta so existing wpForo Pro reporting picks up the changes.
Features
What SleekView Feedback gives you for wpForo
wpForo likes are votes
SleekView Feedback uses the wpforo_likes table as the upvote source, which means every like your community gave over the last three years immediately counts toward the new board's sort order. No backfill script, no parallel vote table, and no risk of two numbers disagreeing between the forum index and the public board on the same site.
Forum-tree categories
The category pill maps to the wpForo parent forum, so each subforum lights up with its own color on the board. Admins do not curate a separate tag list, new subforums appear as new pills automatically, and the forum tree members already understand becomes a visual filter on the public feedback view.
Reputation-friendly upvotes
Every Upvote click on the board calls the standard wpForo like API instead of writing to a private table. wpForo reputation points, badges, and any moderation plugin that listens for likes pick up the engagement exactly as if it came from a forum page, which keeps the gamification loop continuous across both views.
Audience
Where wpForo communities use the board
Public roadmap of forum requests
Replace the forum index for logged-out visitors with a SleekView board sorted by like count. New visitors see exactly which topics the active community has rallied behind, which reduces duplicate threads and gives the product team a clear public ranking of what to work on next.
Per-forum triage board
Scope the board to a single wpForo forum, set the sort to a Severity meta, and the result is an internal triage list ordered by impact. Moderators move cards from Open to Fixed via the status pill, and replies inside the topic keep the long-form context exactly where members expect to find it.
Shipped-only changelog page
Filter the board to topics with the Shipped status pill and place it on a Changelog page. Each closed wpForo topic becomes a release card with the original request, the moderator's notes, and the like count earned before the change went live, which works as instant social proof for the release.
The bigger picture
Why wpForo communities outgrow the default index
wpForo is one of the fastest forum plugins on WordPress, but speed alone does not solve community signal-to-noise. As your forum grows, the default last-reply sort starts working against you. The most valuable feature request collects ten likes the day it is posted and then sinks below twenty support threads bumped by a single one-line reply.
Members who liked it never see what happened next, and product owners scrolling for inspiration get the wrong picture of what the community actually wants. SleekView Feedback uses the like data wpForo has been collecting all along and rearranges it into a public board with category pills, status pills, and a clean upvote button. Members get a vote-driven roadmap instead of a reply-driven river.
Moderators get a triage queue ordered by impact instead of by recency. Product teams stop guessing because the data the forum was already collecting is finally rendered in a shape that makes the answer obvious, and the rest of wpForo, reputation included, keeps working exactly as it did before the board went live.
Questions
Common questions about SleekView Feedback for wpForo
Yes. SleekView reads the standard wpforo_topics and wpforo_likes tables, which are present on the free wpForo and on wpForo Pro. Pro adds extra meta fields you can use as the sort column or the status source, but the base board works fully on a free wpForo install without any Pro license requirement.
Yes. SleekView reads the live wpforo_likes counts when it renders the board, so every like collected before SleekView was installed counts toward the sort order from the first page render. No migration, no backfill, and no risk of double-counting any historical likes on the topics.
Yes. The query builder accepts a forum ID or a parent forum filter, so you can build a board for a single subforum, a board scoped to two related subforums, or a global board that pulls every topic across the site. Filters compose, so a Bugs-only Premium-members-only board is a few config clicks away.
Yes. The Upvote click routes through the wpForo like API, which honors whatever per-role rate limits and permissions you configured in the wpForo admin. A role that cannot like topics on the forum index also cannot upvote topics on the SleekView board, which keeps the two views consistent for every member tier.
Yes. wpForo Pro reactions are stored in the same likes table with a reaction type column. SleekView can sum all reactions, sum only positive reactions, or use a single reaction type as the vote source, depending on which numeric value you pick in the data source mapping during configuration of the board.
Moves update the parent forum ID in wpforo_topics, which SleekView reads at render time, so a moved topic immediately picks up the new category pill on the board. Likes stay attached to the topic regardless of which forum it ended up in, so the vote count is preserved across any reorganization of the forum tree.
No. SleekView is a read layer on top of wpForo. Topics, posts, likes, and reactions continue to live in the standard wpForo tables. Deactivating the plugin removes the board from the page but leaves every wpForo row exactly where it was, and reactivating restores the board without any reconfiguration of the data source mapping.
Yes. The query builder accepts a status filter so you can show only Planned items on a roadmap page, only Shipped items on a changelog page, or every status on a triage board. The same data source can power multiple boards on different pages by changing only the status filter for each one.
