Feed Them Social stores its configuration in wp_options keys (Facebook tokens, Instagram tokens, YouTube API keys, TikTok credentials) and caches API responses in transients prefixed fts_*. Individual feeds live as shortcodes embedded across posts and pages; the plugin admin shows a settings page per network and a few diagnostic tools, but it does not give a flat list of every feed instance, the network it pulls from, the last refresh, or the embedding post.

SleekView reads the shortcodes scattered across wp_posts.post_content, parses the network and source attributes (page ID, user ID, channel ID, hashtag), joins them with the cache transients and the credential health stored in wp_options, and exposes feed name, network, source, items per page, layout, last refresh, and error state as first-class columns. Saved views like all Instagram feeds, YouTube feeds with stale caches, or feeds with expired tokens are one click away.

Inline edits route through the plugin's own settings layer where the feed config lives (per-shortcode attributes update the embedding post via the standard save_post path; credential changes write back to the relevant wp_options key with the plugin's own validators). Bulk actions cover clear cache, force refresh, and rotate tokens. Token health and API quota counters surface as dashboard tiles so credentials and feeds live on the same screen.

A multi-network social plugin solves the integration problem and creates a monitoring problem. Each network has its own auth flow, its own rate limits, its own caching idiosyncrasies, and its own way of breaking. Feed Them Social handles the integration well; what it does not give you is a single screen that says which feeds are live across all four networks, which ones have expired credentials, which caches are stale, and which posts embed each feed.

The default admin has a settings page per network and a few diagnostic tools, none of which answer the multi-network monitoring questions a real site has. SleekView indexes the shortcodes across post_content, joins them with the token and cache state in wp_options and transients, and pivots the result into one table with network, source, embedding post, last refresh, and status as columns. Multi-network social teams use it to verify coverage.

Agencies use it to catch expired tokens before the client does. Editorial teams use it to clean up stale embeds before a content refresh. Feed Them Social keeps doing the API work, the caching, and the rendering exactly as it does today; SleekView just gives the operations layer the columns it needs to treat social embeds as observable infrastructure rather than fire-and-forget shortcodes.
