SleekView for Easy Photo Gallery: galleries and image rows as tables

Easy Photo Gallery stores galleries as a gallery custom post type with the image attachment ID list, layout type, lightbox toggle, and captions in postmeta. SleekView pivots that into one workspace where image counts, layout, and per-image overrides become first-class columns.

SleekView table view for Easy Photo Gallery

Easy Photo Gallery on one screen, not one editor at a time

Easy Photo Gallery stores galleries as a custom post type with the image attachment ID list, layout type (grid or masonry), columns, lightbox toggle, captions style, and target link mode kept in wp_postmeta. The default WP post list shows title, author, and date for galleries. None of the layout flags surface, image counts are buried, and there is no way to filter for, say, galleries using lightbox on the masonry layout or galleries last modified before a recent stylesheet change.

SleekView pivots the gallery postmeta into proper columns. Image count, layout type, columns, lightbox toggle, captions style, and last-modified date all become sortable. Saved views like masonry galleries without lightbox, galleries with more than 50 images, or galleries last touched over 90 days ago load with one click. Sort by image count descending to plan a pagination rollout or filter by lightbox status to audit interactive behaviour across the site.

The image list unpacks into a per-image view joined back to the parent gallery and to wp_posts (attachment rows). Alt text, caption, link target, and gallery membership all become editable columns. Inline edits route through standard wp_update_post for attachment metadata so any plugin listening for image changes (image optimizers, lazy-load) reacts correctly.

Workflow

From gallery CPT to a galleries dashboard

1

Pick the source

Choose the gallery CPT as the primary source. SleekView unpacks the image list and layout postmeta automatically so image counts, layout flags, and per-image data arrive as columns.
2

Compose columns

Drag in image count, layout, columns, lightbox, captions, and last-modified. Open a per-image view if alt text or caption coverage matters across the whole site.
3

Save and scope per role

Save views per shoot, per client, per layout, or per last-modified bucket. Scope each so working photographers see active galleries, accessibility leads see the per-image audit, and editors see refresh candidates.
4

Edit inline or bulk

Inline-edit layout, lightbox, columns, captions, and per-image alt or sort order. Bulk actions route through the gallery save path and the standard attachment save path so caches and image-optimizers stay correct.

Sample columns

Comparison

Default Easy Photo Gallery admin vs SleekView

Default Easy Photo Gallery admin

  • Galleries list shows title and date only, no image count or layout
  • Layout type, columns, and lightbox toggle are hidden at list level
  • Per-image alt text and caption need the WP media library plus the gallery editor
  • No way to filter for galleries on the masonry layout or galleries without lightbox
  • Bulk-changing layout or columns means saving each gallery one by one

SleekView

  • Pivot gallery postmeta layout flags into sortable columns
  • Filter by layout, columns, lightbox status, and last-modified date together
  • Unpack the image list into a per-image audit view across every gallery
  • Inline-edit layout, lightbox, columns, and per-image alt without leaving the row
  • Save views per shoot, per client, or per layout for working studios

Features

What SleekView gives you for Easy Photo Gallery

Layout as columns

Image count, layout type, columns, lightbox, and captions style unpack from postmeta into first-class columns. Sort and filter without opening the gallery editor.

Per-image audit

Drop into a flat view of every image across every gallery: file, gallery, alt text, caption, link. Filter for missing alt and fill them inline before the next accessibility review.

Inline-edit with attachment hooks

Image edits route through wp_update_post for attachments so image optimizers, lazy-load plugins, and any listener for attachment changes react the way they would after a media-library edit.

Audience

Who uses SleekView for Easy Photo Gallery

Working photographers

Track every shoot gallery with image count, layout, and last-modified date at list level. Filter for galleries older than a quarter to archive or refresh, and inline-edit layout for a quick site-wide tidy-up.

Accessibility leads

Run a per-image view across every gallery on the site. Alt text coverage becomes a single filterable column and inline edits write back through the standard attachment save path.

Site editors during a refresh

Standardise layout or lightbox across the site by filtering for the old setting and bulk-updating inline. The refresh sprint compresses from a week of clicking to an afternoon of saved views.

The bigger picture

Why a small-footprint gallery plugin still needs a list view

Easy Photo Gallery is intentionally simple, which is exactly why it ends up scattered across hundreds of posts and pages over time. A working photographer or a small studio adds one gallery per shoot and three years later the install has 300 galleries with no consistent layout, no audit of image counts, and no easy way to find which galleries still use the old lightbox setting after a site refresh. The default WP post list never reads gallery postmeta, so even the simple questions like which galleries have over 50 images stay hidden behind individual gallery editors.

SleekView reads the postmeta once at the database layer and exposes every layout flag as a column. The same studio that had no overview suddenly has saved views per shoot, per layout, and per refresh candidate, with inline edits routing through the standard save path so nothing breaks. A simple plugin still benefits from a serious list view, and that is what SleekView gives Easy Photo Gallery installs that have grown over time.

Questions

Common questions about SleekView for Easy Photo Gallery

Yes. The image attachment ID list stored in wp_postmeta unpacks into a per-image view joined back to wp_posts for each attachment. Alt text, caption, link, and gallery membership become editable columns and edits route through the standard attachment save path.

 

Yes. Layout type, columns, lightbox toggle, and captions style all become filterable columns. Build saved views per layout or per lightbox to standardise the look across many galleries without opening each one.

 

Easy Photo Gallery uses shortcodes to embed galleries into posts. SleekView surfaces the gallery list separately from the post list, so an editor can audit which galleries exist regardless of where they are embedded. A separate report can scan post content for gallery shortcodes if linking coverage matters.

 

Yes. Per-image edits route through wp_update_post for attachments, which is the same path the media library uses. Image-optimizer plugins, lazy-load, and any listener for attachment changes react the same way they would after a media-library edit.

 

Yes. Image sort order is part of the per-image view. Inline-edit the order column or drag rows to re-sort. Writes update the image list in gallery postmeta and the gallery output reflects the new order on the next render.

 

Per-image views paginate at the database level so a 1,000-image gallery loads as fast as a 20-image one. Sorting by alt-text coverage stays responsive at full size because SleekView queries the unpacked image rows rather than re-deserialising the gallery's postmeta on every render.

 

Yes. Any view exports to CSV including layout type, image count, lightbox status, and last-modified date. A studio hands a client a CSV manifest of every gallery shipped during a quarter without writing a single SQL query.

 

Yes. SleekView registers the gallery CPT per site so a network admin can build a network-wide gallery audit by aggregating views across sites. Useful for franchise photographers running one network with one site per studio location.
