Description

It shouldn't be difficult to add a recipe to your WordPress site.

Recipe Hero adds a new custom post type, recipe, to your website. Adding a recipe is just like adding a post.

Usage

After creating your first recipe, you'll normally be able to go to: http://yourwebsite.com/recipes/ to view an archive of all your recipes.

You can also visit Recipe Hero > Settings and choose a Recipe Page. This will turn the chosen page (created through Pages > Add New) into a recipe archive, showing all of your recipes. This is useful for then making that page your home page (in Settings > Reading).

There are also 2 shortcodes included with Recipe Hero:

• [recipes] - displays multiple recipes (see docs below)
• [recipe] - displays single recipe (see docs below)

For more about displaying recipes, check out our Displaying Recipes documentation.

Frequently Asked Questions

I keep getting 404 Page Not Found errors when trying to view the recipes I've added!

You need to re-save your permalinks first! Navigate to http://yourwebsite.com/wp-admin/options-permalink.php and re-save your permalink settings.

How do I remove the default Recipe Hero styling?

Easy! Just add the code in the following gist to your theme's functions.php file: Remove Styles Gist

How can I translate the plugin?

Just like you would translate any other plugin or theme! I've written some documentation over here that will help you get started.

Please feel free to send me your translation afterwards so I can share it with other users, making Recipe Hero more accessible to everyone.

Will Google recognise my recipes and show them like the other recipes in Google?

Sure, but on food-steroids. Just check out the screenshots area.

How can I thank you?
