Read every Facebook feed and cached post as one table
Smash Balloon Facebook Feed (Custom Facebook Feed) stores feed instances as cff_feeds custom posts, caches Graph API responses in wp_cff_feed_caches and wp_cff_feed_posts, and keeps Page access tokens and source lists in wp_options. The plugin admin shows a feed list and an in-place customizer per feed. It does not show a flat table of every feed, its source Page, layout, last refresh, and post count side by side.
SleekView reads the cff_feeds post type alongside the cache and post tables and surfaces feed name, source type (Page, group, events, album), source ID, layout (list, grid, carousel, masonry), items per page, last refresh, cached post count, and error state as first-class columns. Saved views like all Page feeds, feeds with stale caches, or feeds throwing Graph errors load with one click.
Inline edits route through Smash Balloon's settings API so cache invalidation, Graph API re-fetch, and embed rendering all behave normally. Bulk actions cover refresh now, clear cache, and toggle moderation mode. The Graph API rate limit counter stored in wp_options surfaces as a dashboard view, so token health and feed usage live on the same screen.

Comparison
Default Smash Balloon Facebook Feed admin vs SleekView
Default Smash Balloon Facebook admin
-
Feed list lacks
source, layout, last refresh, and cached post columns - No saved view for stale caches or token-expired feeds
- Graph API rate limit info is buried in a separate settings tab
- Bulk refresh across many feeds means opening each customizer
- Cross-feed embed audit (which post uses which feed) needs manual shortcode search
SleekView
-
Pivot
source, layout, items, last refresh, and cached posts into columns - Filter by source type, layout, or cache state together
- Inline-edit items per page, moderation mode, and source ID
- Bulk refresh, clear cache, or rotate token across many feeds at once
- See Graph API rate usage and token health beside the feeds that consume them
Features
What SleekView gives you for Smash Balloon Facebook Feed
Feed configs as columns
Source type, source ID, layout, items per page, last refresh, and cached post count all become sortable columns. Spot stale feeds or empty caches at a glance.
Source and token filters
Combine source type, cache state, and token health filters. Page feeds with expired tokens or group feeds throwing Graph errors are one saved view away.
Bulk refresh and clear
Refresh caches or clear stored posts on multiple rows through Smash Balloon's own functions. The cff_feed_caches and cff_feed_posts tables update the same way the customizer updates them.
Audience
Who uses SleekView for Smash Balloon Facebook Feed
Social media managers
Audit every Facebook feed before a campaign launch. Filter by source Page to confirm the right Pages drive the right embeds across landing pages and templates.
Agencies on retainer
Hand clients a monthly feed health report. Sort by token status and last refresh to catch expired Page tokens before a blank embed appears on a key page.
Events teams
Track which event feeds pull from which Pages and how often they refresh, useful for verifying upcoming event embeds load fresh data before each event date.
The bigger picture
Why Facebook feed configs need a real list view
Facebook embeds are the kind of integration that works perfectly until a token quietly expires or a Page is unpublished, at which point the embed goes blank without anyone noticing for days. The default Smash Balloon admin treats each feed as a standalone object behind its own customizer, which is the right shape for editing one feed but the wrong shape for monitoring twenty. A flat list of every feed with its source Page, last refresh, cached post count, and token status answers the questions monitoring actually has.
Which Page feeds have not refreshed this week, which feeds had Graph API errors yesterday, which Pages share one access token that just expired, which embeds are still pointing at a Page the team retired: these need a queryable surface, not a per-feed dialog. SleekView pivots the existing cff_feeds post type and the cache tables Smash Balloon already maintains into the table view that operations needs. Social media managers, agencies on retainer, and events teams all benefit from one screen that ties feed identity to feed health.
The Graph API requests, the cache invalidation, and the embed rendering all keep happening through Smash Balloon's own code; SleekView just surfaces the columns that turn an integration into an observable system.
Questions
Common questions about SleekView for Smash Balloon Facebook Feed
Yes. Pro adds group, events, album, and review feeds, plus advanced layouts and moderation, all of which write to the same cff_feeds post type and the cache tables. SleekView surfaces the additional fields as extra columns automatically, including moderation status and review filters.
Smash Balloon stores Page access tokens encrypted in wp_options. SleekView never exposes raw tokens in the table view; instead, it surfaces a token health column showing valid, expired, or revoked. A bulk action triggers Smash Balloon's own re-auth flow for the selected feeds.
Yes. The bulk refresh action calls Smash Balloon's own cache refresh function so the Graph API request, the cache table writes, and the transient invalidation all behave exactly as a manual refresh would. Useful after rotating a Page token or after a Graph API outage.
Yes. The Graph API call counter that Smash Balloon already tracks in wp_options surfaces as a dashboard tile alongside the feed table. A view sorted by refresh frequency shows which feeds drive the most API calls so cache durations can be tuned per feed.
Yes. SleekView's usage column scans post content for the feed's shortcode and lists embedding posts. Click through to the embedding post directly from the row, useful when retiring a Page or rotating a token across many embeds.
Yes. Pro's moderation mode flags individual cached posts in wp_cff_feed_posts. SleekView surfaces a separate view of cached posts with moderation status, post text, post author, and approve or hide actions inline, so moderators triage from a single screen instead of per-feed dialogs.
Graph API error responses are written to the cache row and to the error log. SleekView surfaces error state as a filterable column, with the last error message visible on hover, and supports inline retry. A saved view of feeds in error gives the support team a single screen to triage broken embeds.
Yes. Each subsite's cff_feeds CPT, cache tables, and options are isolated by the standard WP table prefix. SleekView respects the prefix, so a per-site feed audit is straightforward; the network mode aggregates across subsites for agency dashboards.
