SleekView for XenForo Bridge: cross-system users & threads as tables
XenForo Bridge links WordPress accounts to XenForo users and mirrors threads where configured. SleekView pivots bridge meta from wp_usermeta, joins to xf_user and xf_thread, and shows the lot as flat moderation tables.

XenForo and WordPress, joined as one workspace
XenForo Bridge syncs WordPress users with a XenForo install: shared logins, optional thread mirroring, and a queue to handle eventual consistency. The bridge stores per-user mapping in wp_usermeta with keys like xf_user_id, xf_username, and xf_last_activity. Reads against the XenForo schema use a secondary database connection to xf_user, xf_thread, and xf_post; the sync log lives in a custom WordPress table or option array.
The bridge admin handles configuration. It does not give community leads a flat user-mapping list, integration ops a sync-queue view, or moderators a divergence audit between locked threads on XenForo and their WordPress mirrors. The data is there, across wp_usermeta, the XenForo tables, and the sync log, but stitching it together with SQL each week scales poorly.
SleekView pivots wp_usermeta bridge keys into columns, joins to wp_users and xf_user, exposes the thread-mirror table for divergence filters, and renders the sync log as a queryable workspace. Bulk re-sync of failed rows routes through the bridge's API; orphan-mapping cleanups go through delete_user_meta with conflict detection.

Comparison
Default XenForo Bridge admin vs SleekView
Default XenForo Bridge admin
- Bridge admin is configuration only, no flat user-mapping list
- Sync log lives in a custom table or options blob, not a queryable view
- Cross-system divergence on locked or moved threads is invisible
- Stale mappings (no XenForo activity in N days) aren't surfaced
- Bulk requeue of failed syncs needs a custom WP-CLI script
SleekView
-
Flat user map across
wp_usermeta,wp_users, andxf_user - Sync queue and failure log as a filterable view
-
Thread-mirror divergence filter on
xf_thread.discussion_state - Bulk re-sync of failed rows through the bridge API
- Save per-role views (community lead, integration ops, moderator)
Features
What SleekView gives you for XenForo Bridge
Cross-system user map
Joins wp_usermeta.xf_user_id to xf_user.user_id over a configured connection. Last activity, mirrored thread count, and link status all become first-class columns.
Sync queue with replay
Pending and failed sync rows appear in a dedicated view. Multi-select failures and requeue them through the bridge's API; each retry is logged.
Thread-mirror divergence
Flags rows where xf_thread.discussion_state differs from the WordPress mirror's post_status. Useful for catching XenForo-side locks that never reached WP.
Audience
Who uses SleekView for XenForo Bridge
Community leads
Linked vs unlinked audits across the active member base. Re-engagement campaigns scope to XenForo-only veterans missing from WP.
Integration ops
Daily sync-queue review: stale mappings, failed rows, and divergence cases surface in one workspace with bulk requeue.
Moderators
Cross-system moderation when a thread is locked on XenForo, the WP mirror should follow. Divergence view drives the cleanup.
The bigger picture
Why XenForo and WordPress need a shared workspace
Running XenForo and WordPress in tandem is a sensible architecture and an operational drag without a shared workspace. The bridge plugin handles the wiring, but the day-to-day questions, who is linked, what failed last night, why is this thread open in one system and locked in the other, land on integration ops and moderators with no built-in screen. Custom SQL papers over the gap for a quarter and then stops happening.
SleekView consolidates the three surfaces, wp_usermeta bridge keys, the XenForo schema over a secondary connection, and the sync log, into named views with role-scoped access. User-mapping audits, sync-queue retries, and divergence filters become saved tables instead of one-off queries. The bridge keeps owning the writes via its API where it can; SleekView gives the people running the relationship somewhere to see and act on it without leaving WordPress.
Questions
Common questions about SleekView for XenForo Bridge
Configure a secondary database connection to the XenForo install with read access on xf_user, xf_thread, and xf_post. SleekView consumes the connection for cross-system views while writes stay routed through the bridge's API.
In wp_usermeta using keys like xf_user_id and xf_username, alongside last-activity and last-sync timestamps. SleekView pivots those keys into columns and joins them to wp_users and xf_user.
Yes. Multi-select rows from the sync-queue view and trigger the bridge's re-sync API. Each retry is logged with timestamp, target, and outcome for later auditing.
 
The wp_usermeta row still points at a missing xf_user.user_id. SleekView's orphan filter surfaces these rows and unlinks through delete_user_meta with audit retained.
Yes. Common add-on tables (resource manager, media gallery) can be exposed as additional views once the connection has read access. Per-view column mappings make it straightforward to target a specific add-on's schema.
 
Yes. The thread-mirror view joins xf_thread.discussion_state against the WordPress mirror's post_status and flags mismatches. Common saved view: "locked on XenForo, still open in WP".
Joins are on indexed columns (user_id, thread_id) and SleekView paginates server-side. Divergence audits typically restrict to a recent window for speed on million-thread installs.
Yes. Save views per role: integration ops sees the sync queue, community leads see user maps, moderators see divergence. Capability-based row scope keeps each role focused on their part of the workflow.
