WP Event Aggregator pulls events from Eventbrite, Meetup, Facebook, and iCal feeds and stores them as WordPress posts in your active event plugin's post type, with the standard post_status values: draft, pending, publish, private, and trash. The plugin also writes an import source and import date as meta so editors can review what came in and from where.

SleekView Kanban reads the same imported event posts and groups them into columns by post_status. The natural editorial board shows Draft, Pending review, Published, and Cancelled, with the import source visible on every card so editors can spot a Meetup event next to an Eventbrite import at a glance. Counts update live as you drag cards through the review stages.

Dragging a card writes the new state back to the source row. Moving an import from Draft into Pending review notifies the editor, moving into Published makes the event visible on the front-end calendar, and moving into Cancelled flips the post without losing the import history. SleekView keeps an audit log per card so editorial decisions on imports are traceable back to the user who made them.

WP Event Aggregator brings external events into WordPress automatically, which is the whole point of the plugin. The cost of automation is review: not every Meetup or Facebook event belongs on your site, sponsor details may need editing, and duplicates between sources need to be merged. The default review path is the standard event post type table, which lists imports in date order with status as a small label and the import source buried in meta.

The board view fixes this by making the only state that matters, the editorial status, the primary axis of the screen, with import source surfaced on every card. You can see at a glance how many imports are waiting for review, how many have been approved, and how many were marked cancelled at the source. Cards make individual events legible at the level of title, venue, datetime, and provenance.

Drag is the natural verb for moving an import through review, and because SleekView writes through the standard transition hooks, every drag still triggers the editor notifications, the public calendar refresh, and the audit log entry that documents the editorial decision.
