Last updated in January 2026 and tested against WordPress 6.9.4, the plugin is clearly being actively maintained by the developer.

A perfect 100 from 15 ratings indicates strong satisfaction among the small group of users who have reviewed it.

What It Does

My Favorites lets logged-in users save posts to a personal favourites list and view them later from a dedicated page or shortcode. The plugin adds a 'favourite' toggle to supported content types so visitors can bookmark articles, listings, or resources without leaving your site. Lightweight by design, it focuses purely on saving and retrieving favourites with minimal configuration.

Who It's For

This plugin is best suited for content-driven sites such as recipe blogs, real estate listings, job boards, or review portals where visitors want to bookmark items of interest for later comparison. It works well for small to mid-sized sites where users create accounts and need a simple favourites feature without complex social or e-commerce logic. It is also a solid fit for community forums and learning platforms where learners want to save resources to revisit.

Who Should Skip It

If you already use a larger membership, LMS, or e-commerce plugin that bundles favouriting or wishlist functionality, this lightweight add-on is unnecessary. Sites expecting analytics, sharing, or social engagement around favourites will also find it too minimal.

The Bottom Line

My Favorites delivers exactly what it promises: a clean, lightweight bookmarking system with strong user ratings and up-to-date maintenance. The unproven support record and tiny install base mean you are betting on a solo developer, so test it on a staging site before relying on it for a mission-critical bookmarks workflow. For most small to mid-sized content sites, it is a solid 75.63/100 choice if your needs are simple.

Pick this if your accessibility priority is bulk alt text for images rather than user-saved favourites.

WP Accessibility 83/100

Choose this for a broader accessibility toolkit covering ARIA, skip links, and colour contrast instead of a favourites feature.

Alt Text AI – Automatically generate image alt text for SEO and accessibility 81/100

Select this when you need AI-driven alt text generation, not a user-facing favourites workflow.

My Calendar – Accessible Event Manager 80/100

Opt for this only if your site is event-driven and needs accessible calendars rather than bookmarking.

SimpleTOC – Table of Contents Block 80/100

Choose this for long-form content navigation with TOC blocks, not for saving favourite posts.
