SleekView Kanban for GeoDirectory Pro
SleekView reads the GeoDirectory Pro gd_place custom post type and its detail table directly, then renders one card per place listing. Move a card between Pending, Published, Draft, and Trash lanes to moderate submissions without scrolling the standard WordPress post list every time.

A live board for GeoDirectory Pro listings
GeoDirectory Pro stores every place listing as a gd_place custom post type with a companion detail table that adds latitude, longitude, address, phone, email, category, and any custom fields you defined. Listings can move between the standard WordPress statuses of pending, publish, draft, and trash as submitters add new entries and moderators review them. The default post list shows everything in a sortable table that works for small directories but turns into noise once submissions ramp up.
SleekView Kanban points at the same gd_place post type and groups every listing by the post_status or any custom enum-shaped meta you have added. Use post status to see Pending, Published, Draft, and Trash lanes side by side. Each card shows the place name, the category, the city, and the owner email so moderators can scan a lane and approve or reject submissions at a glance instead of clicking into each listing edit screen.
Dragging a card between columns writes the new post status back to the listing through the WordPress REST API. The GeoDirectory Pro front end stays in sync, the place archive and the map view reflect the new state on the next page load, and the moderator queue finally has a visual pipeline that matches how directory teams actually work on submissions during a busy week.

Comparison
GeoDirectory post list vs SleekView Kanban
GeoDirectory post list
- Listings appear as a standard post list without visual lanes for moderation statuses.
- Filtering by status reloads the post list and resets the scroll position each time.
- No drag interaction, so moderators approve one listing at a time through the post editor.
- Category and city live in small columns instead of as visible signals across cards.
- Bulk moderation after a submission spike takes many clicks not a single drag per card.
SleekView Kanban
- Reads gd_place rows and the GeoDirectory detail table directly with no extra sync layer.
- Group by post_status, category, city, or any enum-shaped column on the place listing row.
- Writebacks use the WordPress REST API and respect existing GeoDirectory capability rules.
- Cards show place name, category, city, and owner email on one card front with zero setup.
- Stays in sync with the GeoDirectory front end so the archive, map, and board never disagree.
Features
What SleekView Kanban gives you for GeoDirectory Pro
Status-aware grouping
Pick post_status, place_status, or any custom meta on gd_place and SleekView treats its distinct values as kanban columns. Reorder them, set a color per status, and hide ones you do not care about for this view.
Drag updates the listing
Dropping a card in a new column writes the new post status to the place listing through a capability-checked REST endpoint. The GeoDirectory front end, the archive, and the map view reflect the change on the next page load.
Category and city per card
Each card shows the place category and city prominently, so moderators can spot duplicate submissions or out of region listings at a glance. The detail panel keeps the address, phone, email, and custom meta.
Audience
Where GeoDirectory Pro teams use the kanban
Daily submission moderation
Moderators start every morning on the Pending lane and drag approved listings into Published, leaving rejects for senior review. The board makes a busy day feel like a small queue of decisions.
Spam and duplicate cleanup
Drag obvious spam or duplicate submissions into the Trash lane. SleekView writes back so the front end never shows them, the map stays clean, and moderator focus stays on legitimate submissions.
Featured listing onboarding
Filter Published listings by paid featured flag and confirm the right ones are live. Drag any that should be featured into a dedicated lane that the archive reads to surface them at the top.
The bigger picture
Why a board beats the gd_place post list
GeoDirectory Pro is excellent at giving a directory site the place schema, the map integration, and the front end submission flow that make running a local directory possible. The trade off is the admin experience for moderators. The default WordPress post list shows place listings as a sortable table, which works fine when a directory gets a handful of submissions a week but turns into a wall of rows the moment a marketing push drives a wave of new entries.
Moderators sort by date, click into each listing to flip the post status, then bounce back to the post list to scroll some more. State is implicit. The difference between a listing that is genuinely pending and one that is sitting because a moderator has not gotten to it lives only in their head.
SleekView Kanban fixes this by treating the gd_place posts as a board. Every listing is a card, every status value is a column, and dragging a card writes the new status back to the listing. The front end stays in sync, the map reflects the new state, and the moderator queue lives in one obvious place.
Questions
Common questions about SleekView Kanban for GeoDirectory Pro
Both. SleekView reads the gd_place custom post type and the detail table that ships with the free plugin, and it picks up any extra columns GeoDirectory Pro adds for paid features. The board configuration lives in SleekView, so upgrading or downgrading does not break your view at all.
Yes. Any column with a small set of repeated values works as a kanban grouper, including text fields like category, city, region, or owner. SleekView shows you the distinct values it found and lets you map each one to a column with the color and order you want.
The drag updates the post status or custom meta on the place listing, so the change is reflected in the GeoDirectory front end, the place archive, the map view, and any search facets on the next page load. There is no shadow state to keep in sync.
Yes. Writebacks go through a WordPress REST endpoint that checks the edit_posts and manage_options capabilities by default, and you can swap those for a custom capability. Users without permission see the board as read-only and cannot drag any cards across lanes.
No. The board queries are paginated and indexed on the status column you pick. We tested with one hundred thousand gd_place posts and the initial render stays under 200 ms, with subsequent column scrolls served from a cached page slice that updates.
Yes. Create one view per workflow. A moderation board grouped by post status, a paid featured audit board, and a per category board grouped by category can all live side by side, each with its own column set and card field selection on the site.
Yes. SleekView re-reads the gd_place schema and the GeoDirectory detail table on every render, so any new custom field you add through the GeoDirectory settings appears in the card field picker and in the group-by picker without requiring a manual view rebuild.
Yes. The view header has an export button that returns the current filter and column state as a CSV, including the kanban column each row belongs to. The export respects any filters you applied in the view editor on the board for moderators.
