Why CPT UI Extended sites need a kanban view
CPT UI Extended layers custom fields, single and archive template assignments, and Gutenberg block restrictions on top of the base Custom Post Type UI plugin. Records still live in wp_posts with a custom post_type value, but the CPT UI Extended custom fields land in wp_postmeta keyed by the field name set in the CPT UI Extended settings page for the post type.
SleekView Kanban points at the CPT UI Extended post type, lets you pick a CPT UI Extended custom field or the standard post_status as the group field, and renders one card per record. Each card shows the title, the author, the modified date, and any CPT UI Extended custom field you select for the card front, like an owner field, a due date field, or a priority field added through the Extended fields tab.
When an editor drags a card from Draft into Pending or Published, SleekView calls update_post_meta for the chosen Extended field or wp_update_post for post_status, fires standard hooks, and updates column counts. Editorial calendar plugins continue to fire on every change.

Comparison
Default CPT UI Extended vs SleekView Kanban
Default Extended admin
- CPT UI Extended records show as flat WordPress lists with limited field columns.
- Workflow stages live in custom fields with no visual queue around the value.
- Bulk actions cannot group records by a CPT UI Extended Select across the board.
- Filtering by custom field is limited, and reviewers cannot drag between queues.
- Site builders write custom admin pages to give Extended records a board surface.
SleekView Kanban
-
Group any Extended post type by
post_statusor any Extended custom field. - Show owner, due date, priority, and modified date on the card front for context.
-
Drag a card from Backlog into In review and SleekView calls
update_post_meta. - Run one board per registered post type, for projects, cases, or tasks per team.
- Roles can be limited to record owners so general subscribers never see the board.
Features
What SleekView Kanban gives you for CPT UI Extended
Review surface for every model
Any CPT UI Extended post type becomes a review board, with a custom field or post_status defining columns. Site builders skip custom admin pages, and the standard publish lifecycle stays intact on every move.
Owners, dates, priority on cards
Owner User field, Date Picker for due date, and Select for priority land on the card front, so a reviewer sees ownership and importance without opening the record. Standard hooks fire on every move.
Drag writes via standard APIs
When a card moves, SleekView calls update_post_meta for the chosen field or wp_update_post for post_status, the same functions the editor uses on save. Standard publish hooks fire on every change.
Audience
Site builders that put it on the editor dashboard
Agencies with project pipelines
Agencies model projects as a CPT UI Extended type with fields for owner, due date, and stage. Backlog shows pending work, reviewers drag through stages, and standard hooks keep notifications running.
Internal ops with task queues
Operations teams model tasks as a CPT UI Extended type with a workflow_state field. In review tracks live work, Approved captures sign-off, and Published doubles as an audit trail.
Event teams with proposals
Event teams model proposals as a CPT UI Extended type with Date Picker fields. The board shows which proposals are still in Backlog against the event calendar, and standard hooks update audit logs.
The bigger picture
Why a CPT UI Extended kanban makes work honest
CPT UI Extended is where site builders extend Custom Post Type UI with the custom fields, template assignments, and block restrictions that turn a plain custom post type into a real model. Projects, proposals, cases, and many more entity types live as CPT UI Extended post types with custom fields for owner, due date, and stage. The default admin still shows them as flat lists with standard columns, which means workflow only lives in people's heads.
A kanban view changes that shape. A CPT UI Extended Select field or the standard post_status becomes the columns, the most important custom fields land on the cards, and the board gives every model a real review surface without writing a custom admin page. The In review column becomes the work, the Published column doubles as a recent-history view, and Archived makes retired records easy to find.
Moving cards keeps the standard WordPress APIs in play, so all hooks and audit plugins stay correct after every move.
Questions
Common questions about SleekView Kanban for CPT UI Extended
Yes. Moving a card calls update_post_meta for the chosen Extended custom field or wp_update_post for post_status, the same functions the editor uses on save. The standard publish hooks and any custom action hooks continue to fire without any extra plugin glue or workaround.
SleekView reads any CPT UI Extended post type through standard WP_Query and post meta. You pick the source, choose post_status or a CPT UI Extended custom field to group by, and SleekView renders one card per record with the fields you select for the card front.
Yes. SleekView ships with role-based permissions, so record owners can have a single page that holds the review board and nothing else. Only chosen roles can drag cards, and destination columns can be limited per role so contributors cannot move records into Published without approval.
Derived states are first-class in SleekView. You can define a workflow_state computed from several CPT UI Extended fields, such as treating a record as In review when an approval flag is false and a stage Select equals submitted, and SleekView groups by that value.
Each board has one source so the rules stay clear, but most setups run one board per CPT UI Extended post type on the same editor dashboard. Column counts at the top of each show waiting work at a glance, so the team sees projects, proposals, and cases.
Dragging never deletes data. It calls update_post_meta for the chosen field or wp_update_post for post_status, which is the same thing a save in the editor does. Other CPT UI Extended fields, taxonomy terms, and post meta are not touched, so all values remain as saved.
Yes. Each card can show the time since the record was last modified or since the workflow_state field was last updated, so a record stuck in Backlog for a week looks visibly different from a fresh one. Sort options can place the oldest cards at the top of every column.
No. SleekView pages the board, only loads cards for visible columns, and uses indexed queries on the wp_posts table and the post meta key. Sites with hundreds of thousands of records stay responsive because heavy fields are only fetched for cards on screen.
