SleekView Kanban for Reviewer Plugin
SleekView reads the Reviewer Plugin custom post type and review meta directly, groups every review by its current workflow state, and lets your team drag review cards between Draft, Needs Scoring, In Review, and Published so the underlying Reviewer record updates the moment the column changes.

Why Reviewer Plugin entries fit a kanban view
Reviewer Plugin stores each review as a custom post type with rich review meta on every row, including wppr_rating for the final score, wppr_options for the criteria array, wppr_pros, wppr_cons, wppr_links for affiliate URLs, and wppr_image for the product hero. The default Posts screen for the reviewer post type shows a paginated list with the rating as a small column and nothing about whether a review is waiting on a writer, an editor, or a final affiliate link audit.
SleekView Kanban reads the same review post rows and meta keys the Reviewer Plugin admin already queries. Pick a derived review_state field that buckets entries by the rating value, the published status, and a custom editorial flag and every review becomes a card grouped under Draft, Needs Scoring, In Review, and Published. Card fronts can show the product name, the current overall rating, the assigned editor, the affiliate network, and the last updated date so the reviews lead can act on the board without opening every post editor.
Dragging a card between columns writes back through standard WordPress post and meta APIs. A move from Needs Scoring to In Review sets the editorial flag and notifies the editor, and a move from In Review to Published flips post_status to publish so the review goes live with its current rating and affiliate links intact.

Comparison
Default Reviewer Plugin admin list vs SleekView Kanban
Default Reviewer Plugin list
- Paginated post list with the rating as a small column and no queue showing what to score next
- Sorting by rating reloads the screen and loses any category or author filter
- No visual sense of how many reviews are blocked on scoring versus on a final affiliate audit
- Bulk publishing reviews still goes through the standard WordPress bulk action dropdown
- Editors and reviewers need full edit_posts access to move a review through any workflow step

Features
What SleekView Kanban gives you for Reviewer Plugin
Native reviewer post model
Every column maps to a real state derived from the reviewer post_status, the rating, and the editorial flag the team already uses. Reviewer Plugin shortcodes continue to render scores and pros and cons in the public review template, so a board move never overrides the published rating or the on-page criteria block.
Drag-and-drop with audit trail
Each move writes a meta entry on the review post naming the editor who dragged it, the source column, the destination column, and the timestamp. If a reviews lead pushes a review back from In Review to Needs Scoring for a criteria change, the chain of custody stays visible to the whole team.
Saved board views per network
Filter to Amazon affiliate reviews for the holiday team, low-rated entries for the senior editor, and missing-criteria rows for the reviews lead. Each saved view becomes a shareable URL that opens straight into the right board ahead of the weekly reviews meeting.
Audience
Where a Reviewer Plugin kanban changes editorial work
Reviews publish gate
Editors scope the board to this week's drafts, drag reviews from Needs Scoring to In Review only when the criteria array is complete, and ship to Published before the weekly affiliate meeting without a single spreadsheet.
Affiliate refresh sprint
The reviews lead pulls the Published column for reviews live ninety days, filters to those with stale affiliate links, and queues a refresh sprint by moving each card back to In Review for a focused link update.
Editor workload triage
Senior editors scope to a single assigned editor across all columns and watch the rating distribution and last updated date to balance workload without searching one review at a time through the reviewer post list.
The bigger picture
Why this view matters for affiliate reviews
Reviewer Plugin is excellent at rendering the final review on the public page and unhelpful at showing the whole team where the review backlog stands today. The default post list shows the rating one row at a time, but planning the next sprint means pivoting that data into a shared sheet, and the sheet goes stale within a week. By the time the reviews lead has reconciled the sheet, an editor has already published a review that needed one more criteria pass and another one is silently sitting in draft with no assigned editor.
A kanban view that reads and writes the same review posts and review meta the Reviewer Plugin admin uses keeps the team and the source of truth aligned. Draft, Needs Scoring, In Review, and Published all live on one board. Ratings, editors, affiliate networks, and last updated dates are visible on every card.
The team can ship faster, the reviews lead can replan in minutes instead of hours, and the data never drifts away from the live site.
Questions
Common questions about SleekView Kanban for Reviewer Plugin
Live. SleekView queries the same reviewer custom post type and wppr meta keys the Reviewer Plugin admin reads from. Filters apply at the SQL level, so a board scoped to this month reflects reviews updated this month, not yesterday's snapshot exported to a sheet or a stale cache that needs flushing.
No. Drag-and-drop writes the editorial flag and post_status. The rating, criteria array, pros and cons, and affiliate links continue to follow the values the editor entered in the metabox. A move to Published never accidentally rewrites the score or replaces the Reviewer Plugin shortcode output.
Yes. Each reviewer post carries taxonomy terms for review categories and a standard post_author. SleekView exposes both as filters so a board can scope to a single category, a single author, or both, and group by category for a separate workflow per niche the site covers.
Yes. Every move runs through current_user_can('edit_posts') and edit_others_posts before any post update or meta write fires. A contributor account can drag for personal sorting but the change does not persist, with a toast notification explaining the missing capability in plain language.
Filters are applied at the database query level rather than in JavaScript. A typical board scopes to the last quarter, to a single category, or to in-progress states only, so the rendered card count stays under a thousand. Older reviews remain queryable in archive views without slowing the live editorial board.
Yes. The wppr_pros, wppr_cons, and wppr_links meta keys are all available as card fields. Most teams show product name, rating, assigned editor, affiliate network, and last updated date by default, with pros and cons available on hover for quick scanning during the planning meeting.
Yes. The wppr_options meta key holds the criteria array Reviewer Plugin already supports. SleekView reads custom criteria the same way the public template does, so a board can group by missing criteria and the editor can see immediately which reviews are blocked on which criterion before the next sprint.
Yes. Every drag writes a meta entry on the reviewer post naming the user, the source column, the destination column, and the timestamp. The entry uses the standard update_post_meta function so audits, exports, and downstream automations can read it without a separate event log table.
