Description
The Favorite Posts add-on adds a favorites flow for posts, allowing visitors or users to mark content and retrieve those choices in lists, queries, or custom areas of the site. Within the Meta Box ecosystem, the extension helps metadata-based projects record reading, selection, or tracking preferences without turning that behavior into an isolated, hard-to-maintain customization.

Who Is It For?
- Content sites that want to allow selecting favorite posts.
- Developers who already structure custom fields with Meta Box.
- WordPress projects with custom areas for users or readers.
Favorite Posts makes sense when the site needs to turn reading, curation, or post tracking into a persistent action within WordPress. As an additional module for Meta Box, it fits into projects that already work with metadata and custom content, enabling you to build favorite lists, user areas, and return-to-content flows with less own logic.
