SleekView Kanban for WP Event Manager Pro
SleekView Kanban reads WP Event Manager Pro registrations straight from the WordPress database, groups them into status columns for registered, waitlist, attended, and no-show, and lets your event team drag cards across lanes to update attendance without opening every record.

Why WP Event Manager Pro attendance needs a kanban
WP Event Manager Pro stores each signup as a row inside wp_wpem_registrations, with a status column that the plugin updates as people register, move to a waitlist, get checked in at the door, or fail to show. The default admin list paginates these rows by event and hides the status field behind filters, so staff end up sorting, scrolling, and clicking into individual registrations just to count who is coming. For a single small event that is fine; for ten events a week it stops being workable.
SleekView Kanban groups the same wp_wpem_registrations rows by registration_state and renders one card per attendee. Each card shows the event name pulled from wp_posts, the attendee name from applicant_name, the email from applicant_email, and the ticket type or session if the row carries one. Lane counts sit next to each column heading so the room capacity check is a glance instead of a query.
Dragging a card from waitlist to registered writes the new value of registration_state back to the same row in wp_wpem_registrations, so WP Event Manager's own admin views, exported CSVs, and any connected email automations stay in sync. Bulk drags update every row inside a single SQL transaction, which means a 200-card check-in queue clears in one pass and the page refresh th

Comparison
Default WP Event Manager list vs SleekView Kanban
Default WP Event Manager list
- Flat WordPress table that lists every WP Event Manager registration in created-at order
- No grouped view of who is registered, on the waitlist, attended, or no-show
- Status changes need clicks into each row instead of a single drag and drop
- Lane counts and capacity checks happen in a spreadsheet, not the dashboard
- Bulk attendance updates rely on CSV exports and risky search-and-replace edits

Features
What SleekView Kanban gives you for WP Event Manager Pro
Live attendance lanes
Every distinct value of registration_state becomes a kanban column, so registered, waitlist, attended, and no-show rows always appear in their own lane. Counts update the second a card is dropped, with no manual page refresh.
Drag updates the row
Drop a card into a new lane and SleekView writes the new registration_state value straight to wp_wpem_registrations. WP Event Manager's own admin views, CSV exports, and connected email automations all see the change immediatel...
Card fronts staff can scan
Show event name, attendee, ticket type, and date on the card front and keep everything else queryable from the detail panel. Volunteer staff scan a hundred cards in seconds instead of opening every row in the admin table.
Audience
How event teams use a kanban on top of WP Event Manager
Door-staff check-in
Volunteer staff at the door open the kanban on a phone and drag attendees from registered to attended as they scan tickets. The count next to each lane works as a live capacity check.
Waitlist promotion
Event managers drag cards from waitlist to registered as cancellations come in, and WP Event Manager fires its own confirmation emails because the underlying registration_state column changed.
No-show follow-up flow
After the event, staff filter the no-show lane to trigger a polite check-in email or refund flow. The card history shows who was promoted from waitlist and when, which makes the audit clean.
The bigger picture
Why a kanban beats the WP Event Manager list for events
Event teams live and die by the lane count next to each status. WP Event Manager Pro stores all of that in wp_wpem_registrations, but the plugin's own admin renders the rows as a flat table that staff have to filter, sort, and click through to make sense of. That works for a single small workshop.
It stops working the moment one person is running three concurrent events, a waitlist, and a check-in queue at the same time. A kanban grouped by registration_state flips the problem on its head. Registered, waitlist, attended, and no-show each get a column, the row count sits in the heading, and a drag writes back to the same database row WP Event Manager already manages.
Volunteer staff at the door scan a phone, drag a card, and the official admin record updates in the same instant. Connected email automations and any payment integrations see the change because the underlying row changed; there is no second source of truth to keep aligned. That is why event organisers running frontend event listings, organizer dashboards, and registration management pick a kanban view over the default...
Questions
Common questions about SleekView Kanban for WP Event Manager Pro
Yes. SleekView updates the same wp_wpem_registrations row that WP Event Manager Pro already manages, inside a single SQL transaction, so the plugin's own admin views, exports, and any connected email automations see the change immediately with no second source of truth.
 Yes. The group-by column is configurable per view. Most teams pick registration_state because it maps cleanly to registered, waitlist, attended, and no-show, but you can group by event_id, ticket type, payment status, or any other column the plugin stores on the same row.
 You control that. Capability checks gate every drag-and-drop write, so you can grant the move-to-attended permission to a custom volunteer role while keeping the move-to-cancelled action restricted to event managers and administrators. Logs record who moved which card.
 Yes. Rendering uses keyset pagination per column with a virtualised card list, so a single event with 500 attendees stays snappy on a laptop or phone. Drag writes use a single update query rather than per-row REST calls, so bulk lane moves do not stall.
 Yes. You can save multiple views, each filtered to a different event_id pulled from wp_posts, and switch between them with a tab bar. Door staff at a multi-venue festival keep one board open per stage and never see registrations from another event.
 SleekView reads the current wp_wpem_registrations schema at render time rather than caching it, so a new column appears in the card detail panel automatically. If a column is renamed, the view config flags the missing field and lets you remap it without rebuilding the board.
 Yes. The no-show lane is just another value of registration_state, so dragging a card there writes that value back to wp_wpem_registrations and any WP Event Manager automation hooked to the no-show event fires as normal. Follow-up emails and refund flows behave exactly as if you used the plugin admin.
 Yes. The board reflows to a single-column carousel on small screens and supports touch drag for one-handed use. Volunteer staff scan a ticket QR code, drag the card from registered to attended, and the row updates without opening the WordPress admin app.
