SleekView for OceanWP: CPTs and Ocean Extra meta as tables
OceanWP and the Ocean Extra plugin add per-page meta options on top of any CPT registered by your child theme or addons. SleekView reads those CPTs and meta directly so you can sort, filter, and inline-edit without opening each post.

Ocean Extra adds the meta — SleekView surfaces it in the admin
OceanWP's customizer covers a lot of ground, and Ocean Extra layers on per-page meta options for every post and custom post type — sidebar choice, header style, footer visibility, custom CSS per page. Once a site grows past a handful of pages, those meta values matter for governance: which pages have a custom header, which sections override the global sidebar, which entries opt out of the footer. The default WordPress list table doesn't show any of it. SleekView reads wp_posts joined to wp_postmeta directly, so the Ocean Extra meta keys (like ocean_display_top_bar, ocean_post_layout, ocean_sidebar) become columns.
The same applies to any CPT a child theme or addon registered — portfolio, team, gallery, FAQ. OceanWP's addons (premium and free) ship CPT options through Ocean Extra; SleekView lists what's actually registered and exposes the meta keys present on each. ACF and Meta Box fields work the same way; sub-fields in groups and repeaters are joinable.
Inline edits route through wp_update_post and update_post_meta, so Ocean Extra's hooks fire on save and per-page meta options stay consistent. Bulk-flip the top-bar display across thirty pages, override sidebar choice for a section of articles, or correct a portfolio category across the catalog — every filter that would have run on a manual save still runs.
Workflow
How SleekView reads your OceanWP install's data
Pick the post type
Compose the column set
ocean_post_layout, ocean_sidebar, ocean_display_top_bar) and any ACF or Meta Box fields. The picker shows what's actually present on each CPT.
Save and scope the view
Edit inline and ship
wp_update_post and update_post_meta so Ocean Extra's render hooks see the new values.
Sample columns
A typical OceanWP page-options view
wp_posts joined to wp_postmeta, so Ocean Extra's per-page meta surfaces alongside the standard page columns.

Features
What SleekView gives you for OceanWP
Column sets that surface Ocean Extra meta
Layout choice, top-bar visibility, sidebar override, footer toggle — Ocean Extra writes them all to postmeta. SleekView lets you build a column set that shows them inline so governance happens at row level.
Inline-edit page options without opening pages
Flip layout from full width to right sidebar, hide the top bar across a section, override sidebar choice for a campaign. Edits route through update_post_meta so Ocean Extra's render hooks see the new values immediately.
Filter by Ocean Extra options
Find every page with a hidden top bar, every post on the right-sidebar layout, every entry overriding the footer. Save the filter as a named view ("Pages with custom layout") and reuse it during audits.
Audience
Who uses SleekView on OceanWP sites
Developers auditing page options
Ocean Extra's per-page meta accumulates over the life of a site. SleekView surfaces every override in one table — layouts, sidebars, footer toggles — so a developer can audit and normalize the configuration before a redesign.
Agencies running OceanWP retainers
Many client sites on OceanWP with addons that register portfolio, gallery, or testimonial CPTs. SleekView gives the team a portfolio table with category, featured flag, and Ocean Extra meta in one view — replicated across clients via JSON config.
Publishers using OceanWP
Editorial sites with article CPTs, sidebar variants per section, and Ocean Extra footer overrides on landing pages. SleekView lets editors review which articles use which layout and bulk-correct anomalies in one pass.
The bigger picture
Why OceanWP sites need a row-level view of Ocean Extra meta
OceanWP and Ocean Extra together give site owners fine-grained per-page control: layout choice, sidebar override, top-bar visibility, footer toggle, custom CSS per page. That flexibility is the theme's biggest selling point and, on a long-lived site, its biggest governance challenge. Two years in, a typical OceanWP install has hundreds of pages with at least one Ocean Extra option overridden somewhere.
The default WordPress list shows none of it. Title, author, date, and click into each page to see how it's configured. Auditing or normalizing the configuration before a redesign becomes a multi-day click-through.
SleekView surfaces every Ocean Extra meta key as a sortable, filterable column. Find every page with a hidden top bar, every article on the right-sidebar layout, every entry with custom CSS overrides — in one screen. Bulk-update where the configuration drifted, normalize where the team agreed defaults should apply, leave the genuine exceptions alone.
Ocean Extra's controls stay where they are, the customizer stays where it is, and rendering keeps using the same meta keys — SleekView just gives the admin a workspace that matches the granularity of OceanWP's per-page options.
Questions
Common questions about SleekView for OceanWP
No. OceanWP's customizer, theme panel, and Ocean Extra page options all stay exactly where they are. SleekView is a separate admin surface for the data those tools store. The customizer keeps controlling rendering; SleekView gives the back end a row-level workspace for the meta and content.
Any of them. Ocean Extra writes meta keys like ocean_post_layout, ocean_sidebar, ocean_display_top_bar, ocean_display_footer, and many more. SleekView's picker lists meta keys actually present on the post type, so you pick from a real list instead of typing slugs.
Yes. OceanWP's premium addons (Hooks, Sticky Header, Cookie Notice, etc.) write meta and sometimes register CPTs. SleekView reads what's registered and what's in postmeta, so any addon that uses standard WordPress storage works without configuration.
Yes. SleekView writes through wp_update_post and update_post_meta, the same path Ocean Extra reads from at render time. Any save_post handler, ACF save filter, or Ocean Extra hook your install relies on fires identically on inline edit and bulk operations.
Yes. ACF and Meta Box are common pairings on OceanWP sites for richer field setups. SleekView reads ACF field groups directly through the ACF API where useful and falls back to postmeta otherwise; Meta Box fields read out of postmeta with the same column-picker UI.
Yes — that's a strong use case. Filter the page list by every Ocean Extra meta key (custom layout, hidden top bar, overridden sidebar, custom CSS per page) to see which entries deviate from defaults. Useful before a redesign or when consolidating page templates.
Yes. WooCommerce has its own SleekView integration for orders, products, and customers. On OceanWP stores you can combine that with custom CPT views (lookbooks, brand pages) in one admin surface, switching between views via tabs.
Queries hit indexed columns directly — post_type, post_status, post_date, plus any meta keys you sort on. For very meta-heavy installs we recommend keeping aggregate columns off the default view since they're heavier; pagination is keyset where possible.
