Site Reviews splits its data thoughtfully: each review is a post in wp_posts, the rating sits in wp_glsr_ratings, and the connection between a review and the page or product it is about lives in wp_glsr_assigned_posts. The default review list shows the post side of that story but misses the assignment table, which is exactly the field a marketing or moderation team usually wants to filter on.

SleekView reads all three sources and joins them onto one row per review. Author, rating, excerpt, assigned post, submission date, and status sit side by side, with custom review meta and category fields available as additional columns. Inline edits write through the same review meta the public template reads, so a moderator can adjust a rating, post a response, or update status without opening the post editor.

The practical effect is moderation that scales: filter to pending reviews assigned to a specific product, bulk approve trusted authors, pull a feed of five-star reviews for the marketing site as a CSV. The data Site Reviews already captures becomes a workable testimonial pipeline rather than a list to scroll through.

Reviews are a small dataset that punches above its weight: they decide trust, they decide conversion, and they sit at the intersection of moderation, marketing, and support. Site Reviews handles the data side of that well — separate ratings, separate assignments — but the default list view collapses all of that back to a single post column, which makes the natural workflow questions awkward to answer. Show me every pending review on the Premium plan page.

Show me every one-star review with no response yet. Show me five-star reviews submitted this quarter that I can promote on the homepage. Each of those questions needs three tables joined and a custom filter, and each one is a routine moment for a marketing or support lead, not a special request.

Treating reviews as a real grid keeps moderation, response, and promotion in the same screen instead of bouncing between the post editor, the rating field, and the assignment list. That tightens the loop between a customer leaving a review and the response that customer sees.
