SleekView for Social Warfare: share counts & click data as tables
Social Warfare caches share counts per network in _shares meta keys and tracks share-recovery URLs per post. SleekView pivots those into one sortable grid with per-network columns, total shares, and recovery state per row.

Share counts and recovery URLs in one grid
Social Warfare's selling point is share recovery: when a URL changes, the plugin lets you pin previous shares to the new URL so the count survives the migration. That feature is excellent. The data behind it (recovery URL per post, original-URL meta, per-network share counts) lives as a half-dozen postmeta keys with no cross-post admin grid that surfaces it as a single dataset.
SleekView reads the _shares, _swp_recovery_url, and _swp_facebook_share_url meta keys and pivots them into named columns. Each row is a post; columns are Facebook, Twitter, Pinterest, LinkedIn, Total Shares, Recovery URL, and Last Refresh. Posts that have a recovery URL set (because they were migrated) show up as filterable cohort, which closes the gap between configuring share recovery and verifying it actually preserved the counts after the URL change.
The Total Shares column is the editorial workhorse. Social Warfare's own Top Shared Posts widget shows a leaderboard, but it does not give you the underlying queryable data. Sort by Pinterest descending and the visual-content posts surface; sort by total descending and the universal hits surface; filter by post type to scope to articles versus product pages. The grid is what the leaderboard widget hints at without delivering.

Features
What SleekView gives you for Social Warfare
Per-network share columns
Facebook, Pinterest, Twitter, and LinkedIn each get their own column. Sort by Pinterest to find visual-first hits, sort by total to find universal winners, all without leaving the post list.
Recovery-URL audit
Posts that were migrated to new URLs need a recovery URL set so share counts carry over. SleekView surfaces that as a filterable column, so 'migrated posts missing recovery' becomes a one-click cohort.
Refresh freshness
Social Warfare refreshes counts on a schedule. SleekView shows the last-refresh timestamp inline so editorial knows whether a campaign-report number is current or 12 hours behind the live count.
Audience
Who uses SleekView for Social Warfare
Editorial teams
Sort by Pinterest or by Total Shares to plan content refreshes. The grid replaces the Top Shared Posts widget for any workflow that needs more than the leaderboard view.
Migration owners
After a slug or domain migration, filter to posts missing a recovery URL and pin the originals in one pass. The share-count rescue work becomes a single saved view instead of a per-post hunt.
Marketing reporting
Filter to last-30-days posts and sort by total shares to assemble the monthly distribution report. Per-network columns export alongside totals for the spreadsheet pivot.
The bigger picture
Share recovery only works if you can see what is missing
Social Warfare's flagship feature is share recovery: keep your hard-won share counts when a URL changes by pinning the original URL via _swp_recovery_url. The feature is well-engineered, but the cross-post visibility into which posts have recovery URLs set, which were migrated and forgotten, and which still carry pre-migration counts is not first-class in the default admin. Editors and migration owners end up either trusting that everything was configured during the migration or running per-post audits that take far longer than a sortable grid would.
SleekView reads the postmeta keys Social Warfare already maintains and pivots them into a queryable surface: per-network columns, a Total Shares column for the editorial leaderboard, a Recovery URL chip for the migration audit, and a last-refresh timestamp for report-quoting honesty. The same data the plugin uses to render share-button counters becomes the data editorial uses to plan refreshes and migration owners use to verify rescues. Without the grid, share recovery is a configuration step you hope worked; with it, share recovery is a verifiable audit cohort.
Questions
Common questions about SleekView for Social Warfare
Per-network share counts under the _shares meta key, plus _swp_recovery_url, _swp_facebook_share_url, and a few other helpers used by the share-recovery feature. SleekView reads them directly and pivots into columns. The values come from the same cache the front-end button counters render from.
Yes, when set correctly. Social Warfare proxies count requests against the original URL when a recovery URL is present. SleekView surfaces whether the meta is set per post, so verifying the migration kept counts intact is a filter chip rather than a per-post check.
No. SleekView reads cached postmeta values. Refreshing counts stays Social Warfare's job through its scheduled jobs and on-demand refresh. The grid is a read-only surface over data the plugin already wrote.
You can edit the _swp_recovery_url column inline on individual rows. Bulk-setting recovery URLs is a Social Warfare task in the plugin's own UI for safety; SleekView surfaces the missing rows so you know exactly which posts need attention before opening the plugin's bulk tool.
Twitter discontinued public share counts. Facebook still returns counts via the Graph API for many configurations. The values in _shares reflect whatever Social Warfare's last refresh successfully retrieved. SleekView shows the cached values honestly; if Twitter is zero everywhere, that's the API state, not a plugin bug.
Yes. Post type is a standard column SleekView pulls in by default. Filter to posts, products, or any custom post type to scope share-count analysis to the right content. WooCommerce sites often want product-only views; blogs want post-only views; the grid handles both.
Yes. SleekView is multisite-aware and reads postmeta from the current site's wp_*_postmeta table. Each site in the network gets its own grid; share-count comparisons across sites stay a separate aggregate query if you need them.
Yes. CSV export honors the current sort and filter state. A typical export is 'last 90 days, sorted by total shares descending, missing recovery URL filter on' to produce the share-rescue queue at the start of a quarter.
