Shortcodes and Support for Elementor

Hi @gamicord,

Thank you for reaching out to us. Please refer to the answers below:

1. We don’t have shortcodes available for the Gutenberg blocks.

2. There is a shortcode only available for the search page [recipe_search]. We haven’t tested it with Elementor. Since the plugin uses CPT, we think you can use Elementor to display them as well.

3. Yes, it does have a dedicated archive page for taxonomies and a single recipe post template.

4. We don’t have this featured at the moment but our team is working on the implementation of this feature. We will soon add this feature.

Kindly let us know if you have further questions.

YOUR ANSWERS
1.) SHORTCODES FOR GUTENBERG BLOCKS: No

Response: You need to have shortcodes for all your Gutenberg Blocks. This is without question because it means that we would be able to use your plugin beyond Gutenberg editor.

Please consider this as a feature you must add.

2.) ELEMENTOR SUPPORT: Wrong answer. My question means to say that– is there full support of Elementor for all your Gutenberg Blocks?

Your answer of course is an obvious NO.

Response: Please, add full Elementor support to this plugin.

3.) ARCHIVE PAGE AND SINGLE POST TEMPLATE: Yes.

Response: Too narrow. Your Archive Page is kind of narrow.

Elementor has this thing where we are able to select multiple categories/Taxonomies in an Archive Page, then select how many to show Per Page, then enable pagination.

I don’t think I saw such functionality with your plugin? Or is it there and I didn’t see it?

3b) You have a Single item Template. But it is too narrow and too rigid. I ask that you break each part of your Single Page template into different component parts.

I used your plugin for a woman and she hated its arrangement. She wanted description first, instructions next, then metadata and other things last.

We can achieve such with your plugin, only if you break down your Single Template into different parts. You can achieve this by having a Template Builder. Something like this– https://youtu.be/-0yMFwgolzQ

4.) FRONTEND FORM: Coming soon.

From this conversation, I’ve asked 4 questions, but satisfied with only 1 answer. Even the 1 answer in number 3 still has things that are missing. Template Builder is missing.

CONCLUSION
Please implement the missing things soon—
1.) SHORTCODES FOR ALL BLOCKS
2.) FULL ELEMENTOR SUPPORT
3.) ARCHIVE AND SINGLE PAGE TEMPLATE BUILDER

Needing to hear from you soon.

Regards

Hi @gamicord,

Thank you very much for sharing your valuable feedback.

We don’t have a shortcode for Gutenberg blocks. Since the blocks can be directly inserted into the page and posts, we don’t think there might be a need of a shortcode. Since Gutenberg is the default editor, we only developed the blocks.

We do understand your concern that you might want to use it with Classic Editor or Elementor. We don’t have this at the moment. As mentioned earlier, we will be creating Elementor widgets that will allow customers to easily insert recipes wherever they want instead of creating the shortcode feature.

We will also be working on the Elementor support in the future.

Thank you for the recommendation on the single-page template. We would like to offer as much flexibility to our customers. We can surely consider adding this feature in the future. Currently, our priorities are User Dashboard and Front End Submissions which are extensive features and will take a couple of months.

To summarize:
1. We will be adding Elementor support and offer Elementor widgets
2. We will consider the feature to customize the single template

Thank you once again for the recommendations.
