SleekView Kanban for Redirection
SleekView reads the Redirection plugin tables directly, then renders one card per redirect rule. Move a card to enable, disable, archive, or queue a rule for review without leaving the WordPress admin or scrolling the long sortable redirect list the standard plugin screen ships with.

A live board for Redirection plugin rules
The Redirection plugin stores every rule in the wp_redirection_items table with a status column that swings between enabled and disabled, and a separate log table that tracks each hit, source URL, and the HTTP code returned. The default plugin screen lists those rules in a sortable table that works fine for a few rules but turns into a maze the moment a content team adds hundreds of 301s during a migration or a long-running rename effort.
SleekView Kanban points at the same wp_redirection_items rows and groups them by a status-like column you pick. Use the action_code column to see 301, 302, 307, and 410 lanes side by side, or use the enabled state to split Active and Disabled rules. Each card shows the source URL, the target URL, the action code, and the hit count from the log table so an editor can decide which rules deserve keeping and which can retire safely.
Dragging a card between columns writes the new state back to the Redirection row through the WordPress REST API. The standard plugin keeps serving redirects, the log keeps tracking hits, and the editorial queue for rule cleanup lives in one obvious place instead of being buried inside a long sortable table that everyone forgets to revisit.

Comparison
Redirection report vs SleekView Kanban
Redirection plugin report
- Rules appear as a sortable table without visual lanes for action codes or status.
- Filtering by action code reloads the table and resets the scroll position each time.
- No drag interaction, so editors flip the enabled flag one row at a time through links.
- Hit counts live in a small column instead of as a visible signal across cards on a lane.
- Bulk triage after a migration takes many clicks instead of a single drag motion per rule.
SleekView Kanban
-
Reads
wp_redirection_itemsrows directly with no extra sync layer required. - Group by enabled state, action code, match type, or any enum-shaped column on the row.
- Writebacks use the WordPress REST API and respect existing Redirection capabilities too.
- Cards show source URL, target URL, action code, and hit count from the log without setup.
- Stays in sync with the standard plugin so the table and the board never disagree at all.
Features
What SleekView Kanban gives you for Redirection
Status-aware grouping
Pick any enum-shaped column on wp_redirection_items and SleekView treats its distinct values as kanban columns. Reorder them, set a color per status, and hide states you do not care about for this view.
Drag updates the database
Dropping a card in a new column writes the new value to the Redirection row through a capability-checked REST endpoint. The change shows up everywhere the rules table is read, including the standard plugin admin screen.
Hit count as a card signal
Each card shows the hit count from the Redirection log table, so a sweep of the active lanes reveals which rules still matter and which can be retired safely. The detail panel keeps the source pattern and target URL.
Audience
Where Redirection teams use the kanban view
Post migration cleanup
After a big rename, editors sort active lanes by hit count and drag low traffic rules into Disabled. The board makes a long cleanup feel like a small set of decisions instead of an open ended chore.
Disabling stale rules
Drag old rules that no longer get hits into Disabled. SleekView writes back so the plugin stops matching them, the log keeps history, and the admin feels less cluttered for the next migration.
Promoting 302 to 301
When a 302 rule has stabilized, drag it from the 302 lane to the 301 lane. SleekView updates the action code, the plugin returns 301, and search engines treat the destination as the new canonical URL.
The bigger picture
Why a board beats the Redirection admin
The Redirection plugin is excellent at serving 301s, 302s, and 410s on a WordPress site, and the logging features make it easy to see which rules are actually being hit. The problem is the admin experience for any site with more than a handful of rules. The default admin lists every rule in one long sortable table, which works fine when a site has twenty redirects but turns into a maze the moment a migration adds hundreds.
Editors sort by hits, click into each row to flip the enabled flag, then bounce back to scroll some more. The difference between a rule you keep and a rule you have decided to retire lives only in the editor head, or in a brittle external spreadsheet. SleekView Kanban fixes this by treating the same Redirection rows as a board.
Every rule is a card, every status value is a column, and dragging a card writes the new state back to the row. The plugin keeps serving redirects, the log keeps tracking hits, and the cleanup queue lives in one obvious place.
Questions
Common questions about SleekView Kanban for Redirection
It works with the free plugin. The Redirection plugin is free, and SleekView reads the standard wp_redirection_items table that ships with it. There is no paid Redirection tier required to use the SleekView Kanban view on the rules at all.
Yes. Any column with a small set of repeated values works as a kanban grouper, including text fields like match type, source URL pattern, or target host. SleekView shows the distinct values it found and lets you map each one to a column.
The drag triggers an UPDATE on the underlying rule row, so the change is reflected in the standard Redirection admin screen, the request cycle, and any export you run. There is no shadow state to keep in sync between the board and the plugin admin.
Yes. Writebacks go through a WordPress REST endpoint that checks the manage_options capability by default, and you can swap that for a custom capability in the view editor. Users without permission see the board as read-only and cannot drag any cards.
No. The board queries are paginated and indexed on the status column you pick, and the hit count join is cached. We tested with rules tables of one hundred thousand rows and the initial render stays under 200 ms with cached column scrolls.
Yes. Create one view per workflow. A post migration cleanup board grouped by action code, a stale rule board grouped by last hit date, and a 410 audit board can all live side by side, each with its own column set and card field selection.
Yes. SleekView re-reads the rules schema on every render, so any new column or custom value you add through the Redirection settings appears in the card field picker and in the group-by picker without requiring a manual view rebuild on the board.
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.
