We just released the very best version of WP Recipe Maker up until today: version 10.0.0. Read on for the highlights and a full changelog or update right away!
New “Meadow” Recipe Template
I’m very excited to be able to release a brand new default recipe template for WP Recipe Maker called “Meadow”. See it in action on our demo site or have a look at a screenshot here:
With this new, modern design your recipes should look even better out of the box. And our template editor is still available to customize things even further. For the “Meadow” template we’ve made it even easier to make the recipe card your own. Instead of having to edit the individual blocks, you can now change all colors at once through “Template Properties”:
And you still have the option to edit everything individually as well, of course.
The Meadow template was built in collaboration with a new design partner and we’re excited to announce that we have more recipe templates in the pipeline, coming your way soon!
Major Template Editor Improvements
To be able to build this new recipe template, some major improvements have been made to our template editor, with many new options you can play around with. Just to name a few:
A new “Pill Style” layout for both the meta container block and adjustable servings.
Lots of properties to play around with when using the Checkboxes style for lists, allowing you to have square, rounded or round checkboxes in any color you want.
A selection of Google Fonts is now included in the template editor, making it easier than before to create a beautiful recipe card template.
You might have noticed the new Toggle Switch style for unit conversion and the instruction media toggle as well. And the new “Jump to Section” block you can see in the screenshot above.
Layout containers now offer more options too, with properties to set a different background or text color for that container only. And the ability to set breakpoints for column containers, based on the width of the recipe card.
With these new changes you’ll be able to create recipe card templates like never before, and you still have the option to edit the HTML and CSS code directly as well!
Sort & Filter by Nutrients on Manage Page
The WP Recipe Maker > Manage page got even more powerful with the addition of all individual nutrients as filterable columns. Enable them through the “Change Columns” option at the top to be able to sort & filter your recipes by calories, carbohydrates, fat, …
You can find recipes by exact nutrient value or find any recipe with less then 500 calories per serving, like in the example above. Need even more control? You can filter by exact range as well!
