[Plugin: GetMeCooking Recipe Template] Unable to insert a recipe & formatting ?

Hi,

1. It sounds like a javascript bug, if you try in Internet Explorer do you see a yellow triangle / red circle I think bottom right, if you could tell me any error messages it shows there?

2. What is your website? I should be able to fix the CSS issue by going there.

Thanks,
Kevin

1. I don’t ever use Internet Explorer except to view my sites to see if they display/run properly. In trying to edit a post in IE 9, clicking edit opens up the post but nothing shows up in the text boxes, neither using the Visual tab nor the HTML tab.

2. My site is https://healthyeatsndrinks.com

Thanks!

Are you able to disable other plugins to see if the issue remains where you can’t add a recipe to a blog post?

The site isn’t trying to use the custom css file, can you double check the ‘use custom css’ is ticked?

I’ve tested on my own version and it’s working so it’s usually the case that another plugin is conflicting. Once we find out which one I can look into it further.

Thanks,
Kevin

I’ll check into it later. I homeschool so we are in the middle of school right now. Thanks for looking into this.

I do know that I tried several times with the “use custom css” button ticked and nothing changed in my css so I just clicked the restore to default option.

OK, I had a few minutes so I disactivated the plugins and reactivated them one at a time–each time trying to insert a recipe…and I can do it now. Weird that it works now but not before since the three plugs I had are still activated. But it works so I’m good!

The css, however, I still cannot fix. Using FireBug, I see the the “Step” descriptions are controlled by this: “<td class=”gmc-step-desc” itemprop=”recipeInstructions”>” However, I cannot find this in the CSS. I want the description to be left-aligned. I also want the data that goes with each of the fields using the gmc-heading class to be left aligned instead of centered.

Can’t think why it works now but glad it does!

You can add new text to the CSS.

.gmc-step-desc {
text-align: left;
}

Oh I’ve not added a class for the other bit you want. When I release the next version there will be a:
.gmc-summary-value

So for now you can do:
.gmc-recipe-summary td:nth-child(2)
{
text-align: left;
}

Thanks,
Kevin

Tried adding that gmc-step-desc code before responding before and it did not work. But, given how things didn’t work before for me but do now, I’ll give it a try!
