SleekView for WP Social Share: button placement and per-post config as tables
WP Social Share stores its button placement and network selections as options in wp_options, with per-post overrides as postmeta. SleekView surfaces the effective configuration per post as a sortable, filterable WP Admin coverage grid.

Configuration and coverage as a queryable table
WP Social Share keeps its plugin-level configuration in wp_options (button networks, placement, post-type targeting) and writes per-post overrides as postmeta when a post deviates from the default. The default Settings page exposes the global config; per-post differences hide inside individual metaboxes.
SleekView reads both layers together and presents one row per post with columns for buttons enabled, placement, override source, and post-type. The Source column flags whether each post inherits the global config or overrides it, which is the audit surface relaunches and content reviews need.
Bulk actions on per-post overrides write the same postmeta keys the plugin's metabox writes, so a bulk 'reset to global' on a hundred selected rows behaves exactly as if an editor had clicked through one by one. The front-end share-button path picks up the change immediately.
Workflow
From plugin options to a coverage grid
Load the global config
wp_options. The agent extracts default networks, placement, and post-type targeting.
Layer per-post overrides
wp_postmeta for the plugin's override keys. Each row shows effective configuration with a Source column flagging global vs per-post.
Add post-type filters
Bulk-normalise on demand
Sample columns
A typical WP Social Share coverage view
wp_options (WP Social Share keys) + wp_postmeta (per-post overrides) + wp_posts
| Post | Post type | Networks | Placement | Source | Status |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Pour-over guide 2026 | post | FB, X, Pinterest | Above + Below | Global default | Active |
| Starter kit landing | page | FB, Pinterest | Above only | Per-post override | Active |
| Holiday gift guide | post | FB, Pinterest | Floating left | Per-post override | Reduced |
| Internal handbook | page | (disabled) | (none) | Per-post override | Disabled |

Features
What SleekView gives you for WP Social Share
Coverage inventory
One row per post with effective networks, placement, and source (global vs override). Coverage audits stop being 'open every post' and start being a saved view.
Override source filter
Filter to per-post override rows to spot posts that disagree with the global config. Governance decisions live in the chip, not a wiki page about intent.
Bulk normalisation
Bulk-clear per-post overrides on selected rows to revert to the global config. Useful before relaunches when accumulated overrides should reset.
Audience
Who uses SleekView for WP Social Share
Site editors
Inventory which posts run which networks in which placement. Migration prep and relaunch audits finish in a day instead of a week.
Governance and compliance
Document where social share buttons appear for cookie disclosure and policy review. The override-source filter turns 'is the button disabled here?' into a yes/no per row.
Maintenance teams
Bulk-revert outdated per-post overrides to the global default. The bulk action operates on the same postmeta keys the plugin's metabox writes.
The bigger picture
Per-post overrides quietly drift at scale
Share-button configuration is the kind of thing that drifts quietly. A post gets a per-post override because someone wanted Pinterest disabled on it; another gets one because the layout overlapped a unique block; a category gets an exclusion that nobody remembers granting. Years later the global config and the actual per-post behaviour disagree, and nobody has the surface to audit the gap.
WP Social Share's settings page shows the global; the post metabox shows one post at a time; nothing shows the gap. SleekView builds the coverage grid by joining the global option blob with every per-post override meta in the database, presenting one row per post with effective configuration and source. Editors audit relaunches in an afternoon, governance answers cookie-policy questions from a CSV, and maintenance teams bulk-normalise overrides that no longer match policy.
The plugin keeps owning configuration; the grid is where the inventory lives.
Questions
Common questions about SleekView for WP Social Share
Global config lives in wp_options. Per-post overrides are written as postmeta keys on individual wp_posts rows. SleekView reads both layers and computes effective configuration per row.
Yes. Select rows and apply the 'disable here' bulk action; SleekView writes the same per-post override meta the plugin's metabox writes. The front-end picks up the change immediately.
 No. SleekView runs inside WP Admin only. The front-end share-button rendering keeps reading the same options blob and per-post overrides as before.
 
Yes. The grid scopes to the active site by default; super admins switch sites and run the same audit per blog. Each site has its own options in its own wp_options table.
WP Social Share does not cache share counts in postmeta by default. SleekView focuses on coverage and configuration, which is where the actionable data lives for this plugin.
 Yes. CSV export honors current sort and filter, including the override-source chip. The export is the artifact governance asks for in policy reviews.
 
Yes. Filter the grid to any post type the plugin is enabled on. The per-post override meta works the same way regardless of post_type.
The bulk-reset action clears per-post override meta keys SleekView identified. It does not touch the global config in wp_options. A row labelled 'Global default' is unaffected by the action.
