Move comment threads out of a per-row queue and into an audit table
Comments wpDiscuz (the plugin slug-form of the core wpDiscuz plugin) replaces the WordPress comments UI with AJAX threading, voting, follows and subscriptions. Comments stay in wp_comments and wp_commentmeta, while the new interaction patterns write to dedicated wpDiscuz tables for subscriptions, votes and per-user follows. The default Comments screen surfaces none of it, which makes per-post moderation, subscriber audits and top-commenter outreach effectively invisible.
SleekView reads wp_comments joined with wp_commentmeta and the wpDiscuz subscription, vote and follow tables, then renders the comment stream as a queryable audit table. Filter to pending comments on a specific post for a per-post moderation pass. Sort by comment_author_email to surface top commenters for community manager outreach. Filter to subscribed-without-comment cohorts to spot lurkers ready for activation. The same data the chart view aggregates becomes a row-level surface for moderators, editors and community managers.
The plugin keeps owning the comment UI, subscriptions and voting frontend. The table view owns the audit grid, so the thread data wpDiscuz already maintains stops requiring custom dashboards and becomes something moderation can query.

Comparison
Default wpDiscuz admin vs SleekView
Default WP comments admin
- Default Comments screen is a per-row moderation queue, not a cohort audit
- Subscriber counts per post aren't surfaced anywhere in admin
- Top commenters by comment count require raw SQL on comment_author_email
- Per-post moderation passes mean filtering screen by screen
- Subscription, vote and follow tables stay invisible in admin
SleekView
- wp_comments rendered with Subscribers and Follows as real columns
- comment_post_ID resolved to post title for cross-post moderation
- Stacked filters on comment_approved, comment_author_email, post and comment_date
- Status edits through wp_set_comment_status() so Akismet keeps learning
- Same dataset the chart view aggregates, so table and dashboard stay in sync
Features
What SleekView gives you for Comments wpDiscuz
wpDiscuz tables as columns
Join the wpDiscuz subscription, vote and follow tables onto wp_comments so subscribers, follows and votes show inline rather than hiding inside meta tables.
Composable thread filters
Stack filters on comment_approved, comment_post_ID, comment_author_email and comment_date to build per-post moderation passes, outreach shortlists and lurker activation lists in one query.
Status edits through WP hooks
Bulk-approve, spam or trash actions write through wp_set_comment_status() so Akismet and notification hooks observe writes identically to the default Comments screen.
Audience
Who uses SleekView for Comments wpDiscuz
Moderators
Filter to pending comments on a single post for a per-post moderation pass, then bulk-approve or spam through wp_set_comment_status() from the same audit table.
Editors
Sort by Subscribers and filter to posts with comment_approved=1 to surface threads worth editorial follow-up, refreshed against live wpDiscuz data each load.
Community managers
Group rows by comment_author_email to surface top commenters for thank-yous and ambassador shortlists, or filter to subscribed-without-comment cohorts for activation nudges.
The bigger picture
Why comment threads deserve a real table
Comments wpDiscuz creates rich interaction data on top of every blog post: who comments, who subscribes, who votes, who follows and at what cadence. The default Comments admin renders that as a per-row moderation queue, which is right for triaging spam and wrong for almost everything editorial and community managers need to do at scale. SleekView reads wp_comments joined with wp_commentmeta and the wpDiscuz subscription, vote and follow tables and renders the result as a queryable audit grid with subscribers, follows, post title and author email as real columns.
Filters stack into a single query so the per-post moderation pass, the top-commenter outreach and the lurker activation list become one-click views rather than spreadsheet exports. Status edits stay routed through wp_set_comment_status() so Akismet keeps learning, while moderation and editorial finally get the per-row audit grid the discussion data always deserved.
