SleekView for EDD Content Restriction
SleekView joins wp_posts with the _edd_cr_restricted_to meta directly and renders every paywalled post with its unlocking product, author and modified date as sortable, filterable, inline-editable columns.

A paywall is only useful if you can see what is behind it
EDD Content Restriction stores its rules as postmeta. The _edd_cr_restricted_to key holds the download IDs that unlock a post, and _edd_cr_restricted_variable_pricing holds the price-tier IDs when variable pricing is in use. The default admin shows the rule per post in the editor sidebar.
SleekView reads the same posts and meta. Post title, post type, author, modified date and the unlocking product sit as real columns. Filter to posts behind one product, to posts an author has been quietly gating, or to posts modified since a strategy change, all without opening each one.
Inline edits go through the standard WordPress postmeta APIs, so Content Restriction hooks still fire and any plugins listening on save stay consistent. The table is the estate-wide view the per-post sidebar can never give you.

Default editor sidebar

- No saved per-role view for editorial, product owners or ops
SleekView
- Read directly from wp_posts joined with the _edd_cr_restricted_to meta
- Unlocking product, author and modified date as sortable columns
- Inline edits through standard postmeta APIs so plugin hooks fire
- Save per-role views ("Posts on Acme Pro", "Recently gated")
- Switch between table and kanban of the same restricted-posts set
Features
What SleekView gives you for EDD Content Restriction
Paywall coverage as a table
Every post carrying a restriction rule sits in one filtered table with the unlocking product in the row. The paywall stops being a per-post checkbox and becomes a portfolio view.
Bulk re-gate posts
Switch the unlocking product across many posts in one pass after a catalogue change. The retro stops being a manual sidebar dance.
Compose precise filters
Combine post type, author, status and unlocking product into a saved filter. A members-only-briefings view becomes a single named slice.
Audience
Who uses SleekView for EDD Content Restriction
Editorial leads
Restricted posts per author and per post type, with modified date in the row, plans the editorial cadence against actual coverage instead of memory.
Product owners
Posts unlocked by one product sit in one filter. Useful for retiring products that unlock nothing meaningful and for repositioning the catalogue.
Ops and governance
Paywall coverage filtered to recently modified posts catches strategy drift and gating mistakes before subscribers do.
The bigger picture
Why a paywall needs an estate-wide audit table
EDD Content Restriction is straightforward to apply: open a post, pick a product, save. The hard part is the estate. How many posts are gated, behind what, by whom and how has the mix moved over time.
A real table with post title, unlocking product, author and modified date as columns turns a per-post checkbox into a portfolio view. A filter by unlocking product becomes a catalogue retro. A filter by author becomes an editorial conversation.
A filter by recently modified becomes a strategy audit. Same postmeta the plugin already writes, table surface that respects the fact that a paywall is a portfolio decision.
