What it does
Many sites publish more content than a visitor can read or compare in one sitting. Listing directories, book review sites and online stores all have readers who want to keep track of items they liked. This plugin gives them a simple way to do that. A bookmark button appears on your content, and each click adds the item to the visitor's favorites. Both guests and logged-in members can use it, and you decide whether guests are allowed to save favorites without registering.
The plugin is built on the Meta Box framework and needs the Meta Box plugin to run. It comes bundled with MB Settings Page, MB User Profile and MB User Meta. With MB User Profile, you can build a dashboard where logged-in users view and manage their saved posts. You can place the button before or after content automatically, or put it anywhere with the mbfp-button shortcode, and adjust its styling to match your site's design.
Best for
- Listing and directory sites with many entries
- Book review and content-heavy blogs
- Online stores wanting a wishlist-style feature
