SleekView Kanban for Simple Membership
Simple Membership stores every member in its own table with a level, an account state, and an expiry. SleekView Kanban reads the Simple Membership table, groups members by account state, and lets the team drag a card from Pending to Active when a manual approval is granted.

Read Simple Membership members as a board, not a list
Simple Membership stores members in its own custom table outside the standard WordPress users table. Each row carries member_id, membership_level, account_state, subscription_starts, and subscription_ends, along with the member's name and email. The plugin uses account_state as the natural lifecycle column, with values such as active, pending, expired, and inactive.
SleekView reads the Simple Membership members table directly and joins to the membership level table for the level title. The account_state column is the natural one to group by, so the board shows one column per real state with the actual count at the top. Member name and level ride on the card front, with subscription start and end on a second line so the admin sees the base without opening any record.
Drag a Pending card to Active when manual approval is granted and SleekView writes the new account state through the standard Simple Membership update path, so the same access rules and member emails apply as on the official member edit screen. Expired and Inactive sit on the right, filters scope the board to one membership level when the site offers several tiers, and saved views give the admin and the support contact their own scoped reading of the same table.

- No frontend embed for stakeholders who should see the base without admin access

account_statecolumn with Active, Pending, Expired, Inactive - Drag a card to write the new state through the standard Simple Membership update path

Features
What SleekView Kanban gives you for Simple Membership
A real board on Simple Membership data
SleekView reads the Simple Membership members table and shows each row as a card grouped by account state. Member, level, subscription start, and subscription end ride on the card front for fast reading.
Drag and drop that writes back
Moving a card from Pending to Active runs through the standard Simple Membership update path, so access rules, member emails, and any tied hooks fire exactly as they would when the record is edited on the official screen.
Saved boards per level
Each saved board view can be scoped to a single membership level, a single account state, or an expiry window. One admin saves a board for Pending approvals while a support contact saves a board for Expired members.
Audience
Who runs a Simple Membership board with SleekView
Site administrators
Watch Pending fill during a launch, approve manually by dragging cards to Active, and keep Expired and Inactive on the right so the working columns stay readable.
Support contacts
Save a board scoped to one membership level to see who is Active in the tier, who has expired, and who was deactivated by an admin, all without paging through the official screen.
Membership owners
Filter the board to expiries due in the next 14 days to send renewal reminders, then drag cards back to Active as renewals come through the standard payment flow.
The bigger picture
Simple Membership models state cleanly, so use it
Simple Membership keeps its data in a clearly modelled members table with an account_state column that already carries the lifecycle: Active for paying members, Pending for those awaiting approval, Expired once the subscription ends, Inactive for manual deactivations. The default admin screen lists members with a state filter, which is fine for one query but hides the shape of the base when several states matter at once. SleekView Kanban reads the same members table and groups by account_state, so Pending becomes the approvals queue, Active fills with paying members, and Expired and Inactive sit on the right as out-of-rotation buckets.
Approving a member is a drag from Pending to Active that runs through the standard Simple Membership update path, so the same access rules and emails fire as on the official screen. The underlying data and lifecycle stay the same, only the reading surface changes.
Questions
Common questions about SleekView Kanban for Simple Membership
No. The Simple Membership admin still owns member creation, level configuration, and the per-record detail view. SleekView Kanban is a reading and dragging layer on top of the same members table, useful when the admin needs to see the whole base at once instead of paging through one state at a time.
 Whatever values the account_state column actually contains. Active, Pending, Expired, and Inactive are the standard Simple Membership states, and any custom value introduced through a custom hook appears as a column as soon as a member carries it.
 SleekView calls the standard Simple Membership update path, so access rules, member emails, and any tied hooks fire exactly the same way as if the change had been made on the official member edit screen. The board does not bypass any plugin rules.
 Yes. SleekView saves filters per board view, so a level owner can save a board scoped to a single membership level while the admin saves a board scoped to Pending across every level. Each view stays scoped to the user who saved it.
 Yes. SleekView refreshes on a short interval and on focus, so two team members working at once see each other's drag results within a few seconds. The underlying data is the same members table, so there is no separate state to reconcile.
 Yes. The drag uses a configurable default extension for the membership level, applied through the standard Simple Membership update path. If a custom expiry is needed for a specific case, it is still set on the per-record screen the way the official admin handles it.
 Yes. The members table is populated by every signup, paid or free, with the right account_state, so the board reads the full base regardless of how the member joined. The Pending column fills if manual approval is required for the level.
 Yes. Save a board view, then embed it on a private frontend page reachable only by users in the right role. Stakeholders read the membership base without a full WordPress admin login, protected by the standard WordPress capabilities Simple Membership uses for its admin.
