WP Event Manager Registrations adds attendee tracking on top of WP Event Manager by registering event_registration as a custom post type, with the event ID, registrant name, email, and status in wp_postmeta. The default admin shows registrations per event, which is the right shape for a single event and the wrong shape for door operations on a multi-event run.

SleekView reads the event_registration CPT and joins the linked event's title and start time onto each row. Custom registration fields, including any added through ACF or the plugin's own extension hooks, promote to named columns. The check-in cell is editable so staff mark attendance from a phone, and the timestamp records to the same attendee meta the plugin uses internally.

The grid is the cross-event view that the default admin does not ship. Filter to today's events, sort by check-in status, save per-role views for door staff, finance, and customer support. Each role works the same underlying CPT through a saved view tuned to its columns and filters, without anyone learning the registration meta key layout.

WP Event Manager Registrations is a clean addon that does one thing well: write attendee records into a custom post type linked to the event. The data shape is correct, and the default admin's per-event list is the right shape for a single small event. The shape breaks the moment a venue runs two events the same night or a conference splits into tracks, because door staff stop knowing which event a buyer is registered to before they look them up.

The default per-event admin then forces a tab-and-search routine that does not scale to a busy door. Treating event_registration as a cross-event grid with event title joined onto every row solves the door workflow at the data layer instead of asking staff to remember the layout. Saved views become role-aware surfaces: a phone-friendly door view, a per-event organizer view, an email-search support view.

The check-in cell writes to the same registration meta the plugin uses, so badges and reports stay consistent with the action staff just took at the door.
