HivePress Favorites

77 Quality Score

Active Installs

17/30

8,000 active installs is a moderate footprint, strong enough for a niche HivePress add-on but small compared to the general-purpose alternatives listed below.

Update Freshness

25/25

Updated 2026-05-25 with confirmed compatibility through WordPress 7.0 and PHP 7.4, which is the best possible maintenance signal we can verify.

User Rating

12/15

A perfect 100/100 from 4 ratings is encouraging but the sample is tiny, so treat the rating as directional rather than definitive.

Support Health

8/15

Zero support threads and zero resolutions means we have no public track record to judge responsiveness, which is a real gap for a paid or business-critical add-on.

WP Compatibility

15/15

Tested up to WordPress 7.0 with a 5.0 minimum and PHP 7.4 requirement, matching modern hosting environments and scoring full marks on compatibility.

What It Does

HivePress Favorites adds a favourite button to HivePress listings, letting logged-in users save and revisit listings from a personal list. It works as an add-on to the HivePress business directory ecosystem rather than a standalone favourites plugin. The feature is light by design: store the IDs, display them, and let users manage their shortlist.

Who It's For

This is for site owners already running HivePress on a directory, classifieds, or job board who want registered users to bookmark listings. It suits real estate portals, apartment-hunting sites, local business directories, and service provider catalogues where repeat visitors benefit from a saved shortlist. If you are not using HivePress as your core directory plugin, this add-on is not relevant.

Who Should Skip It

If you do not use HivePress as your directory backbone, skip this plugin: it depends entirely on HivePress listings and will do nothing on its own. Sites needing a standalone favourites or wishlist system for WooCommerce, custom post types, or other directory platforms should look elsewhere.

The Bottom Line

HivePress Favorites is a focused, well-maintained add-on that does exactly what it promises for existing HivePress sites, scoring a solid 76.98/100. The catch is that its zero public support threads mean you are betting on the developer rather than a proven response history. Install it confidently if HivePress is already your directory base, but look at Classified Listing or Directorist if you are choosing a directory plugin from scratch.

Pick this instead if you want a full directory and classifieds platform with built-in favourites and a higher overall score of 87.11.

Directorist: AI-Powered Business Directory, Listings & Classified Ads 87/100

Choose Directorist when you need an all-in-one directory solution with 20,000 installs, more built-in features, and a higher 86.56 score.

GeoDirectory – WP Business Directory Plugin and Classified Listings Directory 86/100

Go with GeoDirectory if your listings are location-driven and you want a mature 10,000-install platform with strong mapping and SEO tooling.

Advanced Queries 80/100

Pick this if you need flexible query and listing controls for any post type rather than a HivePress-specific favourites add-on.

HivePress – Business Directory, Listings & Classified Ads Plugin 80/100

Start with the core HivePress plugin if you have not yet chosen a directory framework; this favourites add-on only makes sense on top of it.
