SleekView for Spectra Blocks: posts, pages, and block usage as tables
Spectra (formerly Ultimate Addons for Gutenberg) stores block markup in post_content as standard Gutenberg block comments. SleekView indexes that usage so every Spectra block becomes a filterable column.

Spectra block usage across the site
Spectra is the rebranded Ultimate Addons for Gutenberg, a Gutenberg-native block library covering Forms, Containers, Image Gallery, Post Grid, Tabs, and more. Block instances are stored as block markup inside post_content using comment delimiters like <!-- wp:uagb/forms --> (the namespace stayed uagb after the rename). Reusable blocks and templates live in standard WordPress CPTs.
SleekView reads post_content across pages, posts, and any public CPTs, indexes Spectra block usage by name, and surfaces each post with its block list as a filterable column. Filter to posts using uagb/forms to audit Spectra form coverage. Filter to posts using uagb/post-grid to find dynamic post lists across the site. Sort by last edited to spot recently touched pages.
Inline edits to status, slug, and author write through standard WordPress update calls. The Spectra block markup in post_content stays editable in the block editor. The grid handles the audit; the editor handles the content.

Comparison
Default Spectra admin vs SleekView
Default Spectra admin
- No way to filter posts by which Spectra block they contain
- Forms coverage across the site is invisible from any list view
-
Finding pages with deprecated
uagb/*block names needs SQL - Reusable block reference counts are not surfaced
- Bulk status edits across pages using a specific block are manual
SleekView
-
Filter posts by Spectra block used in
post_content - Saved views for forms coverage, deprecated blocks, or post-grid usage
- Inline edit status and slug without opening the block editor
- Reusable block reference counts as a filterable column
- CSV export of any block usage slice for handovers
Features
What SleekView gives you for Spectra Blocks
Block usage as a filter
Find every page using uagb/forms, uagb/post-grid, or any Spectra block by parsing block comments in post_content. Coverage audits become a filter pass.
Deprecated block detection
Spot pages still using deprecated uagb/* block names before the next Spectra upgrade. The grid surfaces them with last-edited and author so cleanup gets owned.
Metadata edits
Change status, slug, and author from the row for housekeeping. Block markup in post_content stays untouched and editable in the block editor where the Spectra controls live.
Audience
Who uses SleekView for Spectra Blocks
Agencies
Audit Spectra block coverage across client sites in one grid. Per-client saved views catch deprecated block usage before plugin upgrades cause render issues.
Development teams
Find every page using a specific Spectra block before refactoring or replacing it. Block-usage filters replace SQL on post_content for routine audits.
Site owners
Track which pages use Spectra Forms and which dynamic post lists exist across the site. Quarterly block audits prevent operational debt from compounding.
The bigger picture
Why Spectra sites accumulate block audit debt
Spectra positions itself as a Gutenberg-native block library with a deep set of layout, form, and dynamic-content blocks, which is why agencies and product teams adopt it for sites that need more than core blocks offer. The trade-off shows up at scale: uagb/* block usage accumulates across years of pages, with no admin surface to filter posts by which block they contain. Default WordPress admin lists posts and pages with no awareness of the Spectra blocks inside.
A page using a deprecated block name keeps rendering until the plugin upgrades and breaks it. Forms coverage across the site is invisible until someone audits page by page. Reusable blocks orphan when their parent pages are deleted.
None of this is Spectra's fault, it's what happens when a flexible block library meets long-running content. A queryable block usage index changes audits fundamentally. Filter by block name to find every page using Spectra Forms.
Surface deprecated usage before the next upgrade. Prune unreferenced reusables. Agencies use this as a pre-upgrade audit; in-house teams use it as the block coverage documentation they finally have.
Questions
Common questions about SleekView for Spectra Blocks
Block instances are stored as Gutenberg block markup inside post_content using comment delimiters like <!-- wp:uagb/forms -->. The uagb/* namespace stayed after the Spectra rebrand. Reusable blocks live in the wp_block CPT. SleekView reads both directly.
No. Block content stays inside the WordPress block editor where Spectra's controls and design panel all work as designed. SleekView edits surrounding metadata (status, slug, author) and indexes block usage as a filterable column. The block markup itself never gets touched.
 
Spectra is the rebrand of Ultimate Addons for Gutenberg. The plugin kept the uagb block namespace for backward compatibility, so block markup in posts created before the rename still uses uagb/* and works without migration. SleekView filters on the live namespace.
Yes. SleekView indexes block comment usage in post_content so each post can be filtered by which Spectra blocks it contains. Find every page using uagb/forms or uagb/post-grid in one filter pass.
Yes. Reusable blocks in the wp_block CPT surface alongside posts with reference counts showing how many pages use each one. Reusables with reference count zero are easy to prune during a redesign or housekeeping pass.
Yes. SleekView is read-mostly and inline edits use standard WordPress update calls. Block markup in post_content is never touched, which means the block editor and the front-end render behave exactly as before. Any plugin hooks on metadata changes still fire normally.
Yes. As Spectra evolves, older block names get deprecated or replaced. The grid surfaces deprecated block usage as a saved view so the team can fix or remove those pages before a plugin upgrade breaks them. That audit takes one filter pass.
 Yes. Every saved view exports to CSV with the visible columns including block usage list, status, and last edited. Agencies use forms-coverage and deprecated-block exports as recurring client deliverables; in-house teams use them as inputs to upgrade planning.
