Favorites Loop in Bricks

Updated over a week ago

The Favorites Loop allows you to display a dynamic list of posts a user has marked as favorites. This custom query type integrates seamlessly with Bricks Builder and enables highly personalized user experiences by pulling content based on user interactions.
​

It is recommended that it be used with the "Add to Favorites" feature, which populates the data used by this loop.


Settings

Once the "Favorites" query type is selected in a query loop, a new set of controls appears under the container settings:

  • Favorites Key: Defines the storage key for the favorite items.

  • Favorites Scope: Determines where the data is stored β€” either in the user meta (logged-in users) or via cookie (anonymous users).

  • User Source (only if Scope = user):

    • Current User: Uses the currently logged-in user.

    • Post Author: Uses the author of the current post.

    • Other User: Manually specify a user ID.

  • User ID (only if User Source = Other User): Manually set a user ID.

  • Posts per Page: Limits the number of posts shown. Can be set to -1 to display all.

  • Order by: Choose the ordering criteria (e.g., date, title, rand, etc.).

  • Order: Set ascending (ASC) or descending (DESC) order.
