SleekView Kanban for WP RSS Aggregator
WP RSS Aggregator stores every imported item as a wprss_feed_item custom post with the source feed and pull date in postmeta. SleekView Kanban renders those items as draggable cards grouped by review status or feed source, so editors can triage incoming items without scrolling a list.

Group feed items by review status or source
WP RSS Aggregator pulls items from RSS feeds into a wprss_feed_item custom post type. Each item carries the source feed ID, the published date from the upstream feed and the local imported date in postmeta. The standard post_status column is available too, which gives every item a clear place in a kanban board.
The default admin lists feed items as a flat table with feed source as a column. It is fine for finding a single item, but with several busy feeds the inbound flow becomes overwhelming. Twenty items waiting on triage, eight in editorial review and three queued for republishing are all mixed into one long scroll.
SleekView Kanban makes the triage pipeline visible. Lanes show counts, cards show the item title, feed source, original publish date and any custom review meta. Dragging a card between lanes writes the new status back through standard WordPress hooks, so any auto-import or republish automation continues to fire normally.

Comparison
Default WP RSS Aggregator admin vs SleekView Kanban
Default WP RSS Aggregator admin
- Flat list of feed items hides the triage pipeline for teams running many feeds at once.
- Knowing how many items are still untriaged needs a manual count across the list table.
- Republish status lives in postmeta and is not visible from the default item list.
- Filtering by source feed needs URL parameters and never shows counts per source.
- Editors switch between feed source views by reloading the admin with different query args.

Reads
wprss_feed_itemposts directly with no shadow tables or sync layer. - Group by review status, by source feed ID or by any custom flag the team adds.
-
Drag and drop writes status back through
wp_update_postand standard hooks. - Republish add on hooks continue to fire when items move into the Approved lane.
- Stacked filters narrow the board to a single feed source, reviewer or date range.
Features
What SleekView Kanban gives you for WP RSS Aggregator
Source feed lanes
Group by the source feed ID and each lane becomes one upstream feed. The board shows at a glance which feed is generating the most noise and which has gone quiet, with counts per source that make subscription audits much faster than a flat list ever can.
Triage with stacked filters
Stack filters on top of the board so a single reviewer sees only items from feeds they curate. Filters by date, language or source category let editors triage incoming items without losing the global view that the editorial lead needs to see.
Hands off republish workflow
Moving a card to Approved fires the WP RSS Aggregator republish hook if the republish add on is active. The card flows on to Republished without any extra clicks, which keeps the triage workflow consistent with the auto-republish automation.
Audience
Where WP RSS Aggregator teams use kanban view
Newsroom syndication desks
Newsrooms pull wire feeds, blog feeds and partner content into WP RSS Aggregator and use the board to triage what to republish, what to summarise and what to skip. Counts per stage make it obvious where the team is keeping pace and where help is needed.
Newsletter curation
Curators pull dozens of source feeds and drag the best items into Newsletter approved. The board becomes the editorial queue for the next send, with counts that make it clear whether the upcoming issue has enough strong items to ship on time.
Research and trend monitoring
Research teams aggregate industry feeds and drag items into themed lanes for the next briefing. The board exposes which themes are hot this week and which need a wider net of sources before the next briefing can stand on its evidence.
The bigger picture
Why a kanban board matches feed triage
RSS aggregation is fundamentally a triage problem. A few feeds quickly become a few thousand items, most of which the team will skip, some of which deserve a careful read, and a small minority of which become the next newsletter, blog post or republished story. The default WP RSS Aggregator admin is a list table that treats every item the same, which makes that triage harder than it needs to be.
Teams end up tracking review state in a separate spreadsheet, or worse, in a shared chat channel where context is lost in minutes. SleekView Kanban makes the triage flow visible inside WordPress. Cards are real feed items.
Lanes are real review status values, source feed IDs or custom flags. Counts per lane expose where the queue is growing fastest, so the team can decide whether to drop a noisy feed or add another reviewer. Drag and drop writes the new status back through standard hooks, which means the WP RSS Aggregator republish add on, any export to newsletter automation and any custom email digest cron continues to fire as it always did.
The result is a board that matches how editorial teams actually think about feed triage and republish work.
Questions
Common questions about SleekView Kanban for WP RSS Aggregator
Both. By default SleekView shows every feed item across every source feed. Add a filter on source feed ID and the board narrows to that feed only, with lane counts that recompute on the fly so the triage view stays accurate at any zoom level.
Yes. The Approved lane writes a single status field which is also the same field the republish add on listens to. Moving a card to Approved fires the standard hook, and the republish add on creates the public post exactly as it does from its own UI.
Yes. SleekView honours the edit_post and publish_posts checks core uses for the feed item post type. A contributor can move items into Pending review but cannot move them to Approved or Republished unless their role has the matching capability assigned.
Nothing breaks. The import cron continues to pull new items as configured. Manual triage on the board only changes the review or republish status of items that already exist, with no impact on how often or how many new items the plugin pulls from the upstream feeds.
Yes. SleekView polls for changes at a short interval so concurrent moves show up without a manual refresh. If two editors move the same card at once, last write wins and a quiet toast tells the second editor the card has shifted since they opened it.
Yes. SleekView only needs the wprss_feed_item post type or any other post type used for feed items. If a parallel aggregation plugin writes into the same post type, both sources appear on the board with the source feed ID as a useful filter.
Lanes paginate and lazy load card content as you scroll. The board only reads the columns needed for the card, not full item bodies, so a Queued lane with tens of thousands of items still renders quickly on standard WordPress hosting plans.
Yes. A shortcode and a block render any saved board on the front end with the current user's capabilities applied. A contributor portal can show only items they are responsible for triaging, with drag disabled outside their assigned source feeds.
