Hide recipes from google

I highly recommend using the recipes as is and just adding your post content there. That is how the plugin is designed to be used. You can get rid of that /recipe/ part with the “Remove Recipe Slug” setting on the Recipes > Settings > Advanced page.

If you don’t want that you could disable “Recipes act as Posts” on that same settings page, publish the recipes privately and include them then. But not all (Premium) features will work as expected.

Well currently I am not on premium, I want to study how is this plugin first. Secondly I try to migrate from another plugin to this one so I already started with posts, I can’t delete all my posts now and create new recipes, it just does not go like that.

So the solution is to create private recipes and include them into posts. It’s good that this option exists but if you say that if I go on premium I can get errors that is not very good. Since it was build to be included into posts it should work on premium like that perfectly.

The plugin is designed to have the recipes as a separate post type, so if you want to use all features that’s how it should be used. Most features will work fine with recipes included in posts, but for some that’s just not possible.

I recommend converting those existing posts to recipes as explained on our website: https://www.wpultimaterecipe.com/docs/converting-old-posts

This will make me dependent of your plugin and I don’t want this. I was once dependent of EasyRecipes plugin and it seems everything went wrong.

Plugins most of the time are a pain in the … but when we have less time we have to do this compromise and search for the best plugin to do this. I’m in that search right now. As I said, the metadata seem not to work and I think this is the most important thing that it needs to work for this plugin. Since there is an option to include a recipe into posts, why this is not maintained ? why not all the features work ? This really sucks, for sure.

You’re always dependent on whatever plugin you use. That said, you can always reverse the process by converting recipes back to regular posts, so there’s really no difference.

The metadata works fine, please just test it with Google’s tool.

The option to include recipes into posts was meant to be used for creating posts like “Our best recipes of 2015” where you’d then include multiple recipes. It’s definitely maintained.
