The Favorite Content for LearnDash plugin, developed by Snap Orbital, is a specialized engagement tool designed to let students “bookmark” specific parts of a course. It addresses the common issue of learners finding a great insight or resource but losing track of it as they progress through dozens of lessons.
This is EXACTLY the same product as distributed by the developer. Sales Page
Granular Favoriting: Unlike basic bookmarking, this plugin allows users to favorite Lessons, Topics, Quizzes, and even Assignments.
Automated Placement: You can set the “Favorite” button to appear automatically on all LearnDash content, or use shortcodes to place it manually in specific spots (like sidebars or menus).
User Profile Integration: It adds a “Favorites” tab to the user’s profile page, allowing them to see a searchable, organized list of everything they’ve saved.
Analytics for Creators: This is a hidden gem for admins—you can see which specific lessons or topics are favorited the most. This data helps you identify your “star” content and which areas might need improvement.
Customizable Design: You can change the button colors, icons, and labels to match your site’s branding without needing to write custom CSS.
| Benefit | Description |
| Higher Retention | Students are more likely to return to a course if they have a curated list of their favorite “gold nuggets” to review. |
| Improved UX | Reduces the “navigation fatigue” of clicking through multiple modules just to find one specific video or PDF. |
| Content Strategy | By tracking favorites, you can see what content resonates most, helping you decide which topics to expand on in future courses. |
The plugin is designed to be “plug-and-play,” meaning it shouldn’t require complex configuration.
Shortcodes: You can use [ld_favorites] to display a user’s favorited items anywhere on your site.
Compatibility: It is built specifically for LearnDash and works alongside popular themes like Astra, Kadence, and BuddyBoss.
