YITH Product Image Gallery Slider enhances the WooCommerce gallery with carousel navigation, lightbox zoom and configurable thumbnails. The plugin renders cleanly on the storefront, the data sits in WooCommerce's native _product_image_gallery meta key plus the featured image: a comma-separated list of attachment IDs per product. Coverage gaps and shoot planning usually start with a manual click through the Products screen.

SleekView reads _product_image_gallery from wp_postmeta, counts attachment IDs per product and joins to wp_posts for the parent product and to the category taxonomy. Every product surfaces as a row keyed by gallery depth. Featured image set, gallery count, category and last update all sit as real columns. Filter to gallery count = 0 to triage the shoot queue. Filter to category = a specific line for shoot planning. Sort by gallery count asc to find featured-only products that deserve real imagery.

The plugin keeps owning the gallery rendering on the product page. SleekView owns the coverage audit, so the imagery data stops hiding inside per-product editors and becomes something the merchandising team can act on row by row.

Product photography is one of the most expensive line items on a WooCommerce store, and one of the most under-measured. YITH renders the gallery beautifully, the gap is that the admin gives no surface for which products actually have a real gallery, which still rely on a single featured image, which categories underperform on imagery. SleekView reads the same _product_image_gallery meta WooCommerce already stores and renders every product as a row with gallery count, featured image flag and category as real columns.

Filters stack into a single query so the no-gallery shoot queue, the under-3-images cleanup list and the per-category gap audit become saved views rather than spreadsheet exports. The plugin keeps owning the gallery slider on the product page, while imagery teams finally get the coverage surface the catalog has always needed.
