SleekView for WPForms Lite
SleekView reads the wpforms post type plus the form-level meta WPForms Lite maintains (submission counters, last entry timestamps, status flags) and renders the form library as a sortable, filterable table with submission count and last entry as real columns instead of badges hidden inside each form card.

WPForms Lite ships forms. The library needs a real list view.
WPForms Lite is the free tier of WPForms and the most installed form plugin on WordPress. It does not ship the wpforms_entries custom table that comes with the Pro tier, so per-entry rows are routed to email and the form-level data lives in the wpforms post type plus form-meta keys WPForms updates on each completion.
The default WPForms admin lists forms as cards in a tiled library. That is friendly for editing one form at a time, but it hides cross-form comparison. Which contact form has not received a submission in 30 days? Which draft forms are still sitting on the shelf? Which forms produce the bulk of inbound traffic? The data is on disk, the default UI just never shows it as a list.
SleekView reads the wpforms post type and pivots the form-level meta into columns. Title, status, submission count and last-entry timestamp sit next to author and date. Sort by submission count to find the workhorses, filter to publish status with no entries this month to find the quiet ones, bulk-flip stale drafts to trash without opening each card.

Comparison
Default WPForms Lite admin vs SleekView
Default WPForms Lite admin
- Forms render as a tiled card library, not a comparable list
- Per-form submission count sits inside the card row, not as a sortable column
- No filter to forms with zero entries in the last 30 days
- Bulk actions limited to standard WordPress operations
- No saved per-role view for owners, marketers or admins
SleekView
- Read directly from the wpforms post type joined with form-level meta
- Submission count and last-entry timestamp as sortable, filterable columns
- Inline-edit status across many forms in one pass
- Save filtered views per role ("Quiet forms", "Draft library")
- Same dashboard upgrades to WPForms Pro entries the moment the license is added
Features
What SleekView gives you for WPForms Lite
Form meta as real columns
Surface submission counter and last-entry timestamp alongside title and status. The form library moves from a tiled grid to a sortable column set.
Filter to quiet forms
Filter to publish status with zero submissions this month and the table surfaces every contact form that has gone silent before traffic notices.
Inline-edit form status
Flip a stale draft to trash or a finished draft to publish without opening the form builder. Standard WordPress save hooks still fire.
Audience
Who uses SleekView for WPForms Lite
Solo site owners
Run a weekly check on submission counts and last-entry dates. Spot the contact form that stopped receiving entries before a client complains about a missing email.
Marketers on a budget
Audit which forms back which campaigns. Match each landing page to its form and confirm the funnel is wired up before traffic arrives.
Agency caretakers
Run quarterly form audits across client sites still on WPForms Lite. The status and submission columns make stale or broken forms obvious in seconds.
The bigger picture
Why WPForms Lite users still need a real table
WPForms Lite is everywhere on WordPress because it nails the basics and stays out of the way. The trade-off for that simplicity is the lack of a per-entry table on the free tier and the lack of any cross-form list view. Most Lite users live with email as the source of truth for submissions and never see the shape of their form library beyond a row of cards on the admin screen.
SleekView closes that gap without forcing an upgrade. The wpforms post type and the form-level meta WPForms Lite already writes are enough to render a real audit table: title, status, submission count, last entry, author and creation date as real columns the team can sort and filter. Site owners see which forms are working and which are quiet, marketers see how the form footprint maps to live campaigns, and agencies run audits across client sites without paging through cards.
When the upgrade to WPForms Pro does happen, the same SleekView setup gains an entry-level view automatically.
Questions
Common questions about SleekView for WPForms Lite
The wpforms post type and the form-level meta WPForms Lite writes (submission counter, last-entry timestamp, status flag). On the Lite tier there is no wpforms_entries table, so per-entry tables depend on the WPForms Pro upgrade, but form-level audit views work out of the box.
 No. The form-level table (titles, statuses, submission counts, creation dates) reads from the WPForms Lite post type and meta directly. The Pro upgrade unlocks an entries table, which SleekView surfaces as a second view without changing the existing setup.
 No. SleekView only runs queries when the view is open in WP Admin and uses the indexes WordPress maintains on the posts and postmeta tables. There are no background jobs, no cron polling and no scheduled syncs.
 Yes. Title, status and author edits flow through standard WordPress CRUD, so any WPForms save hooks fire exactly as if the change had been made inside the form builder.
 Yes. Each saved SleekView is scoped by WordPress capability, so an editor can see the form-health view while the owner sees the cadence and audit views. Permissions follow the standard SleekView model.
 Yes. On a multisite network with WPForms Lite active per subsite, SleekView reads the wpforms post type on each subsite individually. A network rollup can be built by joining across subsite tables if prefixes have not been rewritten.
 Yes. The current filter set exports to CSV. Useful for sharing a list of low-traffic forms with a marketer or for archiving a snapshot before a major form cleanup.
 Nothing breaks. The form-library table keeps reading the post type and meta it already reads. As soon as wpforms_entries exists, SleekView surfaces the entry table as an additional view on the same dataset.
