MB Favorite Posts

MB Favorite Posts is a WordPress plugin developed by Meta Box that allows users to mark posts as favorites so they can check them later. It works with both unregistered visitors and authenticated users, offering an experience similar to a wishlist in an e-commerce store.

The plugin automatically adds a favorites button to post content, with three predefined styles: a standard button, a "like" icon similar to Facebook's, and a rounded button with an icon. All button elements —text, color, size, and icon— are fully customizable from the settings panel, which includes a live preview to make configuration easier.

MB Favorite Posts integrates with MB User Profile to automatically create a dashboard page where users can see all their favorite posts, as well as a registration page so visitors can create an account. For guest users, the plugin offers the option to save favorites via cookies, so they can also enjoy this functionality without needing to register.

The plugin is especially useful for listing sites (hotels, car ads, real estate), reading sites where users want to save their preferred books, or online stores where customers want to save items to purchase later. It also includes the mbfp-button shortcode to place the favorites button anywhere on the site, and the mbfp-posts shortcode to display the list of favorite posts.

Additionally, thanks to its integration with MB Views, it is possible to create custom grid layouts to display favorite posts attractively, with options to add removal buttons and fully customize the visual presentation. The plugin is built on Meta Box and its extensions, which are already included, so there is no need to install them separately.

In summary, MB Favorite Posts is a complete and flexible solution for adding favorite marking functionality to any WordPress site, improving user experience and encouraging interaction with content.
