SleekView for Commento for WordPress
Commento hosts the conversation; WordPress owns the embed footprint. SleekView reads the commento_* postmeta and options the plugin writes and renders the per-post coverage as a sortable, filterable audit grid inside WP Admin.

Hosted comments do not mean hosted audit data
Commento is a privacy-first commenting platform that embeds via a small script tag, with comment threads stored in Commento's own backend (self-hosted or managed). The WordPress plugin is responsible for inserting the embed, optionally per post type, and tracking which posts opt in. The default plugin screen exposes those options as toggles; what it does not expose is a per-post audit of where the embed actually runs.
SleekView reads wp_posts joined to wp_postmeta on commento_enabled and any related commento_* keys, and renders the configuration as a queryable grid. Filter to posts missing the embed to find rollout gaps, scope by author to spot writers who forget the toggle, or sort by enablement date to verify the migration window held. Saved per-role views give migration leads a rollout grid, editors an authoring audit and site ops a CPT coverage check.
Scope stays honest. SleekView does not mirror Commento's threads, votes or moderation actions, all of which live in the Commento backend and would only rot if duplicated. It charts the WordPress side of the bridge: which posts run the embed, when and where the gaps are.

Comparison
Default Commento plugin screen vs SleekView
Default Commento plugin screen
- Plugin screen surfaces options, not a per-post coverage grid
- No way to filter to posts missing the embed inside the plugin UI
- Per-post enablement date is buried in postmeta
- Inherited vs explicit-enabled status is not exposed as a column
- Per-author adoption rollups require raw SQL on postmeta
SleekView
- Read directly from wp_posts and join commento_* postmeta as columns
- Distinguish explicit-enabled, inherited and disabled posts in one filter
- Filter to one post type, one author or a missing-embed cohort in a click
- Save filtered views per role ("Rollout audit", "Author adoption")
- Same dataset the chart view reads, so table and dashboard stay in sync
Features
What SleekView gives you for Commento for WordPress
Embed footprint as a real grid
Render the per-post embed configuration as configurable columns instead of a toggle screen. Migration leads finally see where Commento is live and where it is silent.
Privacy posture preserved
Commento's privacy-first model keeps conversation data off WordPress. The SleekView grid reads only the embed configuration WordPress already stores.
Compose precise filters
Combine post type, author, enablement date and embed flag into one saved filter. A view like "Posts, missing embed, last 30 days" is one query against wp_posts.
Audience
Who uses SleekView for Commento for WordPress
Migration leads
Audit the rollout to Commento with a per-post grid of enablement dates and embed flags, exporting the gap list as a CSV for the editorial follow-up.
Editorial teams
Spot authors that consistently forget the embed toggle by grouping rows by post_author and filtering to commento_enabled=false.
Site ops
Watch the embed footprint as content scales and confirm that new post types added to the site are correctly included in the Commento rollout.
The bigger picture
Why privacy-first comments still need a WordPress-side audit grid
Commento intentionally keeps conversation data off WordPress, which is a feature for privacy-conscious teams and a constraint for teams that want one place to see how the integration is performing. The data WordPress still owns is the embed footprint: which posts run the widget, when it was enabled and which authors and post types are in scope. The shape of the audit matters: a per-post grid of post_id, post_type, author, embed flag and enablement date shows whether the rollout is sticking, where it skipped post types and which authors quietly drop the toggle.
Same plugin options, same per-post meta, completely different posture toward the rollout. The grid renders the WordPress half of the integration as a row-level audit, which is the difference between assuming Commento is everywhere and proving it.
Questions
Common questions about SleekView for Commento for WordPress
No. Comment threads live in Commento's backend and stay there, in line with the platform's privacy posture. SleekView reads only the WordPress-side embed configuration: which posts have the widget enabled, when and across which post types.
 Not from WordPress. Active-user metrics live in the Commento dashboard. SleekView covers the coverage side of the integration, which is the data WordPress actually owns.
 Posts without explicit meta inherit the plugin's default behavior. The table buckets the explicit-enabled cohort separately from the inherited cohort so the audit reflects reality rather than only toggled rows.
 Yes. Filter by post_type to scope the grid to posts, pages or any registered CPT. Stack a commento_enabled filter to find rollout gaps within a single content type.
 Yes. Toggling commento_enabled from the row updates postmeta through WordPress core, so any filter the plugin registers on the rendered embed continues to behave the way it would from the post editor.
 No. SleekView reads WordPress tables directly. The plugin's communication with Commento stays untouched, which preserves the privacy posture the platform is chosen for.
 Yes. Combine a WordPress capability gate with a filter for one post_author so an author sees only their own coverage, while editorial sees the site-wide view.
 Yes. Any filtered view exports as CSV with the same columns the table shows, including the embed flag and enablement date. Migration leads typically use the export for project closeout reports.
