SleekView Kanban for WP Event Manager Google Maps
WP Event Manager Google Maps geocodes every event venue and stores the location on the event_listing post. SleekView Kanban reads those posts and renders one card per event with the venue on the front, grouped by event status, drag to publish.

Read WPEM events with venues as a board
WP Event Manager stores every event as an event_listing custom post with the standard WordPress post_status field for editorial workflow. The Google Maps add-on geocodes the venue address and stores the resulting latitude and longitude on _event_location_lat and _event_location_lng meta keys, with the human-readable venue on _event_venue_name and _event_address.
SleekView Kanban reads the same event_listing posts and groups them into columns by post_status. The board shows Draft, Pending review, Published, and Expired as separate stacks. Each card carries the event title, the venue name from the Google Maps add-on, the start date, and the organiser name, so editors see what they need without opening every event listing record from the contributor community submission queue.
Dragging a card writes the new value back to post_status and fires the same WordPress publishing hooks the editor sidebar fires. Moving a Pending review card into Published flips the event live on the front-end map and listings, moving into Expired hides it from upcoming filters and removes the marker from the front-end map, and moving back to Draft pulls it out of review. The audit log records every drag.

Comparison
Default WPEM listings vs SleekView Kanban
Default WPEM event listings
- All event listings screen is a paginated list sorted by start date with status as a label
- Venue field from the Google Maps add-on is buried behind a per-row modal screen
- Expired events mix into the main listings page and clutter the editor working set
- No way to drag a pending submission into published on a board with venue context
- Bulk publish runs through a select dropdown rather than a draggable column move

Features
What SleekView Kanban gives you for WP Event Manager Google Maps
Real WPEM event cards
One card per event_listing post with the event title, venue name from the Google Maps add-on, start date, and organiser name, plus any custom listing field you configured on the WPEM submission form for contributors.
Drag to publish or expire
Moving a card writes the new post_status to the event_listing row and fires the WordPress transition hooks, so the organiser gets the standard publish or pending email and the front-end map reads the new value on next request.
Per-editor saved boards
Scope the board so contributors see Draft and Pending review only, editors see all columns, and admins see Expired for cleanup. The underlying event_listing data does not change, only what each role reads on the board.
Audience
Who runs WPEM events with maps on a kanban board
Editorial teams approving
Drag pending submissions from chapter contributors into Published as you review them, and the standard WordPress publish email fires for the organiser without any extra notification setup.
Chapter community managers
Watch chapter contributor submissions move from Draft to Pending review through the week so the published map reflects what the chapter actually wants to run for the night.
Site admins on cleanup
Filter the board to Expired to clear past events from the editor working set and remove stale markers from the front-end map in a single pass without trashing each row by hand.
The bigger picture
Editorial workflow needs venue context
WP Event Manager pairs the events custom post with a front-end submission flow, and the Google Maps add-on geocodes the venue address on every event so the map shows accurate pins. The trouble is that the editorial workflow happens through the standard WordPress events listings screen, which shows the post_status as a small label per row and hides the venue field behind a per-row modal. Seeing whether a Pending submission from a chapter contributor has a venue field set before you approve it takes opening every row by hand.
SleekView Kanban turns the same data into a board with Draft, Pending review, Published, and Expired as columns, a count per column at the top, and a card per event with the title and the venue from the Google Maps add-on on the front. Drag a card from Pending review to Published and the standard WordPress hooks fire, so the front-end map and the listings page read the new value on the next request.
Questions
Common questions about SleekView Kanban for WP Event Manager Google Maps
Yes. SleekView reads the venue name and address meta the Google Maps add-on writes onto event_listing posts and lets you choose any of those values for the card front. Latitude and longitude are also available as card fields if you need to spot rows that failed to geocode.
 Yes. Dropping a card into Published writes the new post_status to the event_listing row through the same code path the editor sidebar uses, so the transition_post_status action fires and the organiser receives the standard publish email exactly as if you clicked publish in the editor.
 Yes. SleekView can filter event_listing rows where _event_location_lat or _event_location_lng meta is missing or set to zero, and surface those rows in a separate filtered board view. Editors can spot the failed rows before publishing and fix the venue address from the editor screen.
 Yes. SleekView reads any custom listing field you configured through WPEM hooks and lets you choose it for the card front. The value matches what shows in the event editor because SleekView reads the same meta the editor reads, not a copy stored separately in the database.
 Yes. Saved kanban views are scoped per role and per capability, so contributors see Draft and Pending review filtered to their own author ID, while editors see every author across the columns. The underlying event_listing data does not change, only what each role reads on the board.
 Yes. WPEM registers an expired post status for past events, and SleekView reads the distinct status values and renders an Expired column next to the built-in ones. The scheduled cron that flips past events into that status keeps running, and the board reflects the change on the next refresh.
 Yes. SleekView reads the live event_listing meta on every load, so the next time the Google Maps add-on re-geocodes a venue address and writes a new latitude and longitude pair the board reflects the new values on the next refresh. There is no separate index to rebuild for venues.
 No. SleekView paginates inside each column and loads card detail on demand, so a directory with several thousand event listings renders the column counts immediately and streams card content as you scroll. Filters and saved views reduce the working set before the board renders.
