I want my users to be able to mark posts as favorite. I tried the wp-favorite-posts plugin, but it doesn’t work. I mark posts as favorites and after refreshing the page it’s all gone. Furthermore, if I put {{wp-favorite-posts}} to a page, it just shows the text.
So I want to create my own solution, but don’t really know how. I have never edited the WP database, but I have plenty of PHP mySQL experience.
Can anyone please point me in the right direction ?

    You can use post_meta. You can store the “favourite” aspect as a custom field attached to each post. You don’t need to manually edit the database (i.e. via mySQL).

    When you want to show the favourited posts, run a custom query that only shows posts with the specific custom field that you’ve specified.
