SleekView Kanban for wpForo
SleekView Kanban reads your wpForo topics and posts, groups them by the wpForo status fields, and lets your moderators drag cards between Open, Pending, Solved, and Spam columns to clear the queue without bouncing between filter dropdowns on the wpForo admin screens.

Why wpForo moderators need a kanban view
wpForo stores topics in wp_wpforo_topics and posts in wp_wpforo_posts, with status columns such as status for topic state, solved for marked-solved threads, and private for restricted topics. Posts use a status column with values for approved, pending moderation, spam, and trash. The default wpForo admin lists each table separately, which means a moderator clearing pending posts and triaging reports has to switch between screens.
SleekView Kanban reads both wpForo tables, groups rows by the status column you choose, and renders one card per topic or post. Card fronts show the forum name, the author's display name, the reply count, the time since the last reply, and the solved flag when present, so a moderator can decide whether to approve, mark solved, or spam without leaving the board.
Dragging a card to Solved sets the solved flag and fires the wpForo hook for solved topics, dragging to Spam updates the status column through the moderation function, and dragging to Trash uses the wpForo trash routine so the post stays auditable. Permissions follow the wpForo moderator usergroups already configured on the forum.

Comparison
Default wpForo vs SleekView Kanban
Default wpForo admin
- Topics and posts live in separate wpForo admin lists, so triage means switching between tabs.
- Pending posts are filtered, but reports and solved threads each need their own page to surface.
- Marking a topic solved happens inside the topic page, which slows down large solved campaigns.
- Spam moderation uses the row dropdown, which is awkward when several spam waves arrive at once.
- There is no shared per-forum board for both topic state and post moderation in one view.

Features
What SleekView Kanban gives you for wpForo
Topics and posts in one board
Each board can group topics, posts, or a mix, with the wpForo status column driving the columns. Pending intake, solved answers, and spam all sit side by side, so the moderation team sees the whole forum in one view instead of switching between four wpForo admin screens.
Drag uses official wpForo routines
Moving a card calls the standard wpForo solved, spam, and trash routines. Reply counts, last active timestamps, and member counters update through the normal hooks, so custom code already listening to wpforo_solved or wpforo_after_post_status keeps running exactly as before.
Per-forum boards and usergroup scoping
Boards can be scoped to a single wpForo forum, a parent forum, or a set of forums, with usergroup permissions on top so each moderation team sees only the work they own. The shared layout means new moderators learn one board and can pick up any forum quickly.
Audience
wpForo communities running daily triage on a kanban board
Support forums with solved targets
Support forums track solved threads as a metric. The board's Solved column grows as the team marks answers, and the live count gives a clear weekly target. Open topics older than two days bubble to the top so the team picks them up in priority order.
Question and answer communities
Q and A communities care about which threads end with a marked answer. The board makes that work visible, so moderators can scroll to the Open column, sort by reply count, and either nudge a recent answerer or mark the best post as solved.
Niche forums with strict spam policy
Niche forums get hit by spam in waves. The board's Spam column with a per-day filter makes it easy to see when a wave starts, and the team can drag dozens of cards to Spam in a single sweep without losing track of the regular Open queue.
The bigger picture
Why a wpForo kanban changes how a forum gets cared for
Forums live or die by the second day. The first day brings the new question, the answer, the back and forth, and the early excitement. The second day decides whether the conversation gets resolved or fades into silence.
The wpForo admin treats topics as rows in a table, which makes the second day invisible. A kanban board makes the second day the main story. Open topics that need an answer sit at the top, with a clear age, so the moderation team can pick them up before they go cold.
Pending posts get cleared in one sweep at the start of every shift, and the Solved column gives the team a number to point at when they report on the week. Spam and trash stay separate but close at hand, so the moderation work feels like a complete picture instead of three different screens. Over time, this changes the culture of the forum.
Members notice that answers come quickly, and they keep asking. Moderators notice that the work has a beginning and an end every day, and they keep showing up. And the team that runs the forum has a single shared view they can point at when they explain why people stay and keep coming back, which is the only number that really matters.
Questions
Common questions about SleekView Kanban for wpForo
Yes. SleekView calls the wpForo solved routine so the solved flag is set, the topic icon updates on the forum index, and any custom code listening to the wpforo_solved hook continues to fire. The board never writes to the database directly for moderation actions.
Each board has a single source so the moderation rules stay clear. Most teams run one board for topics and a linked board for posts, sharing the same look and the same permissions, with a header link that switches between the two without leaving the workspace.
Yes. Before each drag, SleekView checks the wpForo usergroup the user belongs to and only allows the drag if the matching moderation action is permitted. This is the same check wpForo uses for the admin moderation actions, so behaviour stays consistent across the board.
Yes. Boards take a forum ID filter or a parent forum filter, so a moderator scoped to a single subforum only sees topics in that subforum. This keeps small forum teams focused while sitewide moderators run a wider board across the whole community.
Reversing a drag calls the matching wpForo unmark function, so the topic returns to the Open state with all reply counts restored. The audit fields in wp_wpforo_topics track the change just like they do when the moderation action is performed from the admin screen.
Yes. Distinct status values are read at render time, so add-on statuses such as answered or unanswered appear as columns the moment they exist in the database. You can rename the column header, set a color, and choose which other columns can drag into it.
Yes. Card meta can include the time since the post was created and the column can sort by that field, so the oldest pending posts rise to the top. The team's daily target can be expressed as a maximum age, and the board makes any breach of the target obvious to everyone.
Yes. SleekView pages each column, uses indexed queries on the wpForo status columns, and only loads card fields for visible columns. Large communities stay responsive because heavy fields such as post body are only fetched for the cards currently on screen at any time.
