IdeaPush Pro turns a WordPress site into an idea-and-vote board. Each suggestion is a wp_posts row under a custom post type (commonly idea or ideapush), with vote tallies, category, and status stored as postmeta keys. The default admin lists ideas as generic posts with no vote-count column, so product owners can't sort by popularity or filter by status without opening each idea.

SleekView pivots the postmeta into proper columns: vote count, comment count, status, category, and submitter become first-class fields. Save a view for Top of week, Awaiting review, or Shipped last quarter and the team opens the same grid every standup. Bulk-updating status across thirty ideas after a roadmap meeting takes seconds instead of thirty page loads.

Inline status edits route through wp_update_post so IdeaPush's hooks fire on each change, keeping vote-state and email notifications consistent. Custom fields added through IdeaPush settings or a third-party meta plugin appear as columns automatically, so any internal taxonomy (priority, owner, target release) becomes filterable next to the public-facing vote count.

An idea board fills up fast. Active products attract a few hundred suggestions in a month, and the value is in the prioritisation, not the collection. IdeaPush stores all the data a product team needs (votes, categories, status, submitter, comment count) but presents it as a generic post list with none of those fields surfaced as columns.

The result is that PMs build a spreadsheet copy, or worse, they just don't look at the board between launches. SleekView gives them the shape they actually want: a sortable, filterable grid where status, votes, and category are first-class fields and bulk updates run in the same screen they triage in. The roadmap meeting opens with a pre-filtered view, decisions land back in the same grid via inline edits, and the notification emails IdeaPush already sends keep submitters informed.

For teams running customer-facing roadmaps, the difference is whether the idea board is a living document or a graveyard.
