SleekView for Looker Studio WP: report embeds and data source maps as tables
Looker Studio WP plugins store each embedded report as a custom post with the report URL, dimensions, and parameters in postmeta. SleekView joins those records into a grid so site owners can see every embed, its data source, and where it appears.

Map every Looker Studio embed and its parameters in one grid
Looker Studio WP bridges typically register a custom post type like lookerstudio_report or looker_embed, with the report URL, default parameters, iframe dimensions, and source data connector ID stored in wp_postmeta. Multi-tenant deployments often add a wp_options entry for tenant defaults and a log table such as wp_lookerstudio_log for impression and reload events.
The default WordPress list table for lookerstudio_report shows title, author, and date. Critical context like the underlying Looker Studio report ID, the default URL parameters, the embedded data source, and the page each embed appears on lives in wp_postmeta and never surfaces as a column. Auditing which embeds use which data source means inspecting each post.
SleekView reads the bridge's custom post type plus the supporting wp_postmeta rows and joins them with the log table when present. Report ID, data source, default parameters, iframe size, embedding page, and view count all appear in one row. Edits route through the bridge's own save hooks so iframe cache invalidation continues to fire when you change a URL or parameter set.

The bigger picture
Why Looker Studio embeds need a structured audit
Looker Studio is the easiest way to embed a free-tier dashboard into a WordPress page, which is exactly why most sites end up with sprawl. A marketing analyst adds one embed for a campaign in Q1, a content team adds another for a yearly review, an executive asks for a portal full of them, and a year later nobody can list which Looker Studio reports are embedded, which data sources they pull from, or which pages they appear on. The bridges that connect WordPress to Looker Studio almost universally store this as custom posts plus wp_postmeta, but they ship with the default WordPress list table that shows nothing more than title and date.
That works for a handful of embeds and falls apart at scale. SleekView treats the bridge's records as the structured data they actually are. Report ID, data source connector, default parameters, embedding page, and impression counts become joinable columns.
Analytics leads can find every dashboard still bound to a deprecated data source, marketing can see which campaign embeds carry the most weight, and editors can keep the surrounding page copy aligned with the dashboards they show. The result is a Looker Studio deployment that stays legible past its first dozen embeds.
Questions
Common questions about SleekView for Looker Studio WP
Any bridge that stores embeds as custom posts or wp_options entries. SleekView reads whatever fields the bridge writes to wp_postmeta or its own table, regardless of plugin vendor.
Yes when the bridge stores the embedding page ID as post_parent or a meta key. SleekView joins to wp_posts to surface the embedding page title and URL as a column.
No. Looker Studio has no public embedding management API at the time of writing. SleekView only edits the WordPress-side embed config; the report itself is managed in the Looker Studio UI as usual.
 
Yes for the WordPress-side config. If the bridge stores the data source connector ID in wp_postmeta, you can bulk update it across all matching embeds and the bridge's save hook will fire to regenerate the iframe URL.
Yes. Default parameters typically live in a serialized meta key. SleekView treats each known parameter as its own column with inline editing, so you can change a date range or filter across many embeds at once.
 
No. SleekView paginates against wp_posts and wp_postmeta indexes. Joins to the log table use a bounded subquery for the latest impression total per report.
Yes. Marketing can get a view scoped to their data source connector and embeds, and editors can get a read-only impressions table. Role checks happen before the query so unauthorized columns are never loaded.
 
Yes. Each subsite's lookerstudio_report posts and meta are scoped per blog. Network admins can switch subsites and see only the embeds registered for that site.
