Bricks saves builder data in postmeta under _bricks_page_content_2 on the page or template it belongs to, plus _bricks_editor_mode and template-condition keys. Reusable templates use the bricks_template custom post type with their own metadata for type (header, footer, section, single, archive, popup, error). The default WordPress admin treats those as ordinary posts and templates split across separate screens.

SleekView reads every post that has _bricks_page_content_2 in postmeta plus the entire bricks_template CPT and joins them into one queryable table. Filter to Bricks-built pages only. Filter by template type to find every header, every footer, every popup, or every archive template. Sort by last edited descending to spot active campaign pages or ascending to surface stale layouts untouched in over a year.

Inline edits to status, slug, and author write through standard WordPress update calls. The Bricks layout array under _bricks_page_content_2 isn't touched (that's the Bricks visual editor's job) but the surrounding metadata is fair game for housekeeping. CSV export of an audit slice gives an agency a clean inventory of every Bricks page on the client site with last-edited dates and authors.

Bricks Builder has grown rapidly in the WordPress space and most production Bricks sites have been running through multiple redesigns. Each redesign leaves pages and templates behind: the old launch page, the seasonal popup, the abandoned archive layout. The default WordPress admin lists those as ordinary posts and templates split across separate screens with no indication of which were built in Bricks or when they were last touched in the editor.

Stale layouts pile up quietly. Templates with conditions pointing to deleted content go unnoticed. Drafts owned by former staff sit in the database indefinitely.

None of this is Bricks' fault, it's the operational debt any high-volume builder accumulates without an audit surface. A queryable inventory changes the cost of an audit from a multi-day project to a half-hour pass through the grid. Filter to stale pages and review them in batches.

Find every header template at once and confirm which one is actually live. Spot popup templates targeting pages that no longer exist. Agencies running Bricks across dozens of client sites use this kind of audit as a routine handover deliverable; in-house teams use it as quarterly housekeeping.
