User sentiment analysis

Users appreciate the plugin for being exactly what they need, specifically praising its simplicity, functionality, and customizability. It's highlighted as developer-friendly and well-documented, making it easy to apply personal markup and styles. The plugin's ability to support custom post types and use shortcodes effectively contributes to high levels of user satisfaction. However, the main drawback users report includes the lack of active support and updates, leading to functionality issues with newer WordPress or PHP versions. Some users experience bugs like the favorite button's inconsistent behavior and problems with adding custom button text or excluding page IDs. Despite these issues, it remains a valuable tool for many.

This plugin was a winner. But no more. Too bad. Two stars for the earlier success, 3 stars down for absence and silence. The plugin inserts text instead of a button (from the shortcode I suppose), so ALL my posts start with a BOLD F (for Favorited). No more buttons can be visible anymore. WP is now at version 6.4.3. I wish the developers all the best. They will be missed. Andre

This plugin is EXACTLY what I was looking for. The fact that you can use it “style-agnostic” and apply your own markup and styles to match your website is so great. This is for sure my new “go-to” plugin for bookmarks and favorites. AWESOME JOB!
