Product Q&A moderation, finally a single workflow
WooCommerce Product Question (and similar Q&A plugins) typically store each question and its answers as a custom post type, often as product_question with answers as child posts, or as rows in a dedicated wp_woo_product_qa style table. Either way, the default admin screen lists questions one product at a time, or in a flat list with limited filters. There is no easy way to see all unanswered questions across the catalogue alongside the product, status, and submitter in a single sortable table.
SleekView reads the question post type (or plugin table) directly and joins it to the product post type by product ID. A moderator's daily view becomes a sortable list filtered to pending status, ordered by submission date, with the product name, the question excerpt, the submitter email, and the answer count visible inline. Approve, reject, or assign questions in bulk without ever opening individual records.
Inline edits go through the WordPress post API (wp_update_post, update_post_meta) so any hooks the plugin attaches to status transitions still fire: notification emails, customer-account messages, on-product Q&A widget cache invalidations. SleekView is not a replacement for the plugin's storefront experience, it is the admin moderation surface the plugin probably did not ship.

The bigger picture
Why bulk Q&A moderation wins back hours
Product question plugins solve a real problem on the storefront: shoppers ask, customers answer, the page becomes its own FAQ. The problem is that the admin side rarely scales with the storefront's success. Once a store has a few hundred products and an active community, questions arrive faster than per-product moderation can keep up.
The default admin treats each question as its own destination, hidden behind a row in a per-product list or buried in a flat list with weak filters. Support teams either skip moderation entirely (questions sit pending for days, damaging trust) or rotate moderation duty as a chore nobody enjoys. SleekView turns Q&A moderation into a queue that one person can clear in twenty minutes a day: filter to pending, sort by age, bulk-approve obvious ones, inline-assign the ambiguous ones, and move on.
The data is unchanged, the plugin's hooks still fire, and the storefront experience is identical, but the operational cost is a fraction of what it was. Same database, same plugin, much faster moderation.
Questions
Common questions about SleekView for WooCommerce Product Question
Most plugins in this category use a custom post type (often product_question with answer child posts) or a dedicated table like wp_woo_product_qa. SleekView detects which is in use and exposes the right schema; the column picker reflects whichever fields the plugin actually writes.
Yes, in two ways: an aggregate column showing answer count and last-answer date, or an expandable child-row that shows the full thread when you open a row. Most moderators use the count column for triage and expand individual rows when they need the full text.
Yes. Status writes route through wp_update_post (or the plugin's CRUD wrapper where one exists), so any hooks the plugin attaches to status transitions, such as customer notification emails or on-product cache invalidation, still fire as expected.
Yes. The join to the product post type brings in product taxonomies (product_cat, product_tag) which are filterable from the column picker. Useful when you want to triage questions for a specific category like "electronics" during a launch.
Yes. wp_postmeta keys attached to question posts appear in the column picker scoped to keys actually present in your data. Custom assigned_to, flagged_reason, or internal_note keys become first-class columns and filters.
Yes. An aggregate view rooted on the submitter email column with question count and approval ratio columns helps identify spam patterns or, conversely, your most engaged customers. Use it to ban-list or VIP-list as appropriate.
If your plugin stores questions as a translated custom post type via WPML or Polylang, SleekView's post-type filter respects the language column. Build separate views per language or one unified view with a language column visible, depending on how your moderators work.
Yes. Filtered views export to CSV with the columns you have configured. Many merchants use this to feed approved questions back into product descriptions, FAQ schema markup, or a documentation site.
