Adding Bookmarks or Favorites

To enable a listing favorites or bookmarking system on your directory site, you must first install the appropriate plugin for your theme.

❤️ Favorites for WP Job Manager (Listify)

Once the Favorites for WP Job Manager plugin is installed and activated, your Listify-powered site will display a heart icon on each listing — both on listing archive pages and individual single listing pages.

Users can click the heart icon to:

  • Add a listing to their favorites list.
  • Optionally include a personal note about why the listing is a favorite.

To show users their saved favorites, add the following shortcode to a new WordPress page:

[astoundify-favorites-dashboard]
  1. Create a new page and insert the shortcode above.
  2. Publish the page.
  3. Go to Appearance ▸ Menus and add this page to your navigation for easier access.

Each user’s public profile page will also show their saved favorite listings.


🔖 Bookmarks for WP Job Manager (Jobify)

For the Jobify theme, install and activate the Bookmarks for WP Job Manager plugin.

Once activated:

  • Users will see a “Bookmark this” option at the top of each listing.
  • Clicking this will allow them to save the listing and add an optional note.
  • The bookmark will be stored in a custom database table for that user.

Displaying User Bookmarks

Add the following shortcode to a page to display a logged-in user’s bookmarked listings:

[my_bookmarks]

Optional shortcode attributes:

  • posts_per_page — Control how many bookmarks are shown per page (default: 25)

You can also add this page to your site menu under Appearance ▸ Menus.


📝 Summary

Both plugins enhance the user experience by allowing them to save listings they’re interested in and revisit them later.
