SleekView Kanban for Divi Builder

SleekView reads your Divi library items and Divi-built pages directly from the WordPress post tables, groups them by post status or any taxonomy you nominate, and lets your team drag each card between columns so design review, scheduling, and publishing happen on one shared board.

SleekView Kanban board for Divi Builder

Why Divi library teams need a board

Divi stores library items as et_pb_layout custom post type entries inside wp_posts, with the actual Divi shortcode data serialized into post_content and additional configuration in wp_postmeta under _et_pb_use_builder and _et_builder_version.

The default admin at Divi > Divi Library shows a paginated list which is fine for ten or twenty layouts but becomes hard to manage the moment your site has dozens of sections, rows, modules, headers, footers, and Theme Builder templates across multiple landing pages and editorial sections that need real review pipelines.

SleekView reads from et_pb_layout and from any other post type with the Divi Builder enabled, and surfaces every column as a possible grouping axis. The starting point is post_status with draft, pending, publish, and trash, but most teams add a custom design_review meta with values like wireframe, design, dev review, qa, and shipped, and group by that to mirror the real workflow that runs from concept through launch.

Workflow

From Divi library to status board in four steps

1

Connect Divi library and pages

Pick the Divi library post type or any post type where the Divi Builder is enabled. SleekView auto-detects every meta key including _et_pb_use_builder, _et_pb_built_for_post_type, and any custom taxonomies your team uses to tag layouts by section or campaign.
2

Pick the column to group by

Choose any field as your kanban grouping key. Most teams pick the built-in WordPress post status with draft, pending review, scheduled, and published, but a custom design review meta or the Divi layout category taxonomy works as the column axis when needed.
3

Choose what shows on cards

Drag up to six fields onto the card face. Typical picks are layout title, layout category, last edited author, last updated timestamp, and assigned designer. Cards stay compact at a glance and expand on click to show every Divi meta field on the underlying library item or page entry.
4

Enable drag and drop

Flip on write-back and every card drag updates the underlying post through the standard WordPress API, firing post transition hooks so caching, the Divi static CSS regeneration, and any analytics tied to publishing stay in sync. Lock columns for read-only review states if needed.

Comparison

Default Divi library versus SleekView Kanban

Default Divi library list

  • Library items land in a paginated post list with no visual sense of design pipeline depth
  • Status changes require opening every item individually, no bulk drag between states
  • Custom design review fields cannot become the grouping axis without extra developer work
  • Scheduled items mix into the publish queue with no separation from already live items
  • Designer handoffs rely on private comments which are invisible from the Divi library list view

SleekView Kanban

  • Reads directly from et_pb_layout and wp_postmeta with no duplicate storage
  • Drag-and-drop writes back through wp_update_post so caching and hooks fire correctly
  • Group by built-in post_status, layout category taxonomy, or any custom meta
  • Card face accepts up to six fields including layout type and assigned designer
  • Works with Divi Theme Builder, Bloom, Monarch, and the visual builder without extra config

Features

What SleekView Kanban gives you for Divi Builder

Group by any field on the layout

Built-in post status is the default grouping but any taxonomy, custom meta, or design review stage field becomes a kanban column axis. Boards remember the grouping per user so your designer and your front-end developer can each see the same library items differently.

Drag-and-drop writes back to posts

Moving a card calls the standard WordPress post update API which fires every transition hook, the Divi static CSS regeneration, and any caching plugin invalidations exactly as the editor would from the admin. Optimistic UI updates instantly and rolls back on API failure.

Per-role column visibility

Hide the Published column from designers, hide the Draft column from approvers, or expose archive columns only to admins. Visibility rules use WordPress capabilities so they line up with whatever role plugin your team already uses for the Divi editor access.

Audience

Common Divi library boards teams build

Design system layout library

Group every layout by design review stage so the team knows what is in concept, what is being built in the editor, what passed qa, and what is live across pages right now in production.

Campaign landing page tracking

Group layouts by a campaign taxonomy so marketing leads see exactly how many landing pages each upcoming launch needs and which ones are still missing approvals from brand.

Designer assignment board

Group layouts by author so design leads can balance workload, spot bottlenecks on busy designers, and reassign drafts before campaign deadlines slip past planned launch dates.

The bigger picture

Why a real board beats the Divi library list

Divi is great at letting designers ship polished pages from the visual builder but its admin is built around the assumption that you will review every layout one at a time inside the standard WordPress post list. That works fine when your site has a handful of layouts. It falls apart the moment Divi becomes the design system for an entire marketing team with multiple stages and multiple designers handling concepts, builds, qa, and launches in parallel across landing pages and theme builder parts.

A kanban board fixes the part Divi was never designed to fix: pipeline visibility. You see at a glance how deep each column is, which layouts have been sitting in Draft the longest, and what the team shipped since yesterday. Status changes happen with a single drag and every change writes back through the proper WordPress API so caching, Divi static CSS, and any analytics tied to publishing keep working exactly as before.

Questions

Common questions about SleekView Kanban for Divi Builder

The drag calls the standard WordPress post update API so the change is persisted to wp_posts and triggers the usual transition_post_status hook chain. Divi regenerates its static CSS cache, other caching plugins invalidate, and analytics tied to publishing react exactly as if a designer moved the layout through the regular Divi admin screen for that library item.

 

Yes. Any taxonomy including the Divi layout category, custom meta field, or the Divi layout type field itself can be the grouping axis. Most teams add a custom design_review meta key for stages like wireframe, design, dev review, qa, and shipped, and group by that instead of post status.

 

Yes. Divi Theme Builder templates are stored as a related post type and SleekView reads them the same way as library items. You can run separate boards for the library and theme builder, or combine them into one design pipeline board covering every reusable Divi layout on the site.

 

Scheduled layouts appear in their own Scheduled column by default with the queued publish time shown on each card. Moving a scheduled layout back to Draft clears the publish timestamp, and moving it forward to Published immediately fires the publish hook so any downstream integrations run right away on the live site.

 

Yes. Every action on a card uses the same capability checks as the standard Divi editor, so designers without publish capability cannot drag cards into the Published column. Any role plugin you already use controls who can drag between which columns on the board view of the library.

 

The post status changes back to draft through wp_update_post, which triggers the usual unpublish path. The layout disappears from frontend rendering on the next request, Divi static CSS regenerates, cached page versions are invalidated, and the original publish date is preserved so republishing later keeps the canonical URL.

 

Yes. The kanban surface uses pointer events so it works with mouse, trackpad, touch, and pen input. Long press on a card initiates the drag on touch devices, and column scrolling works even while a card is mid drag so you can move a layout across columns that do not fit on the same viewport.

 

Each card drag is a single atomic post update so two simultaneous drags resolve in the order the server receives them, with the second drag winning. The board polls for status changes every few seconds so the other designer sees the change land in near real time without refreshing the view manually.
