SleekView for YITH WooCommerce Advanced Reviews
SleekView reads wp_comments joined to wp_commentmeta and the parent product, then renders YITH Advanced Reviews as a sortable, filterable table with rating, helpful votes and verified-buyer flag as real columns.

Reviews live on the Comments screen, one row at a time
YITH WooCommerce Advanced Reviews extends standard WooCommerce reviews with star ratings, helpful and unhelpful votes, attached images and a verified-buyer flag. Each review is a row in wp_comments with comment_type review, plus commentmeta for the rating, helpful counters and the verified flag.
The default Comments screen lists reviews one row at a time with the rating buried inside the comment body. There is no cross-product view with rating as a column, no filter that combines rating with verified-buyer status, no sortable helpful-vote total. SleekView reads the same wp_comments rows and joins commentmeta and the parent product post so rating, helpful votes, verified flag and product name sit as real columns.
Inline edits route through standard WordPress CRUD, so moderation hooks still fire and YITH-side counters stay consistent. Bulk-approve five verified five-star reviews in one pass; the same triggers run as if each had been opened by hand.

Audience
Who uses SleekView for YITH Advanced Reviews
Moderation
Filter to one-star pending reviews and triage in a single pass. Helpful-vote totals and verified flag give context before approve or spam.

Catalogue managers
Filter to products with no reviews this month to spotlight gaps. The table shows the products that need review prompts.
The bigger picture
Why review data needs a row, not just a Comments screen entry
YITH Advanced Reviews captures the signals every WooCommerce store wants, including star rating, helpful votes, verified-buyer status and attached images. The default Comments screen treats each row as a generic moderation item. SleekView reads the same comments and commentmeta and turns them into columns a team can sort, filter and edit.
Moderation stops opening every row to read the rating. Marketing stops scrolling for verified five-star quotes. Catalogue stops guessing which products need review prompts.
The plugin still owns the review form and the helpful button; the table turns the corpus into a workable surface.
