Hi Martina,

Thank you for commenting on this issue. The registration process is required since this plugin sends the recipe to the Kitchenbug server for analysis. In order to prevent spamming we require a valid email address to be used.

If you decide that the plugin is not for you after registering you can remove the plugin and close the account.

Hope this information helps.

kind Regards,

Gilad

Hi User,

Thank you for contacting us regarding this issue. The current should work well with the latest WordPress version. We plan to release another upgrade during April with a few small bug fixes.

Hi dazwilk,

We couldn’t locate a problem using the basic HeatMap AdApative theme. Essentially all you need to do is create a new post and then click on the Kitchenbug icon in the icons. Is the Kitchenbug icon not available among the editing icons in a post?

Hi User,

We’ll try to recreate this scenario and get back to you soon.

Kind Regards,

Gilad

You can sign up to our newsletter on https://www.kitchenbug.com/kb/. However, this is not a technical newsletter so whilst awaiting posts regarding new features you’ll be getting more content updates and the like.

I’m afraid we don’t currently have a dedicated plug-in newsletter.

Kind Regards,

Hi Cédric,

1) Alas, adding such a feature would require quite a bit of work. However I have added your request to our roadmap. We will implement a template option when we redesign the recipe view for external users (blogs and so on).

2) That’s true. Translating the ingredient database is just one side of the issue. Our NLP (native language processing) engine would also have to be taught French ??

Kind Regards,

Hi Cédric,

Thank you for contacting us regarding these issues. To answer your questions:

1) I’ll try to explain why we chose to display the current information by looking at the information displayed on our website. If you open a recipe on kitchenbug.com (or use the clipper to analyze a recipe on another site) then you’ll see that we are trying to help our users understand the data. In other words want to simplify the information display, make it so that you don’t need a degree in Nutritional Science in order to know if a recipe is applicable for you. We use green and red colors and simple clear sentences so that by quickly looking at the information the user will be able to decide what to do with this recipe.

The only exception to this rule is the information for diabetics. This is something that we are currently testing and will provide specific, thorough information for people with Type 1 or 2 Diabetes.

If you wish to see the scientific references behind the information provided then it is available on https://www.kitchenbug.com/kb/health-icon-reference/ .

2) At the moment we do not have the necessary resources to support another language. As Kitchenbug grows we will be adding more languages. I do not have a timeframe for this yet.

3) We started of with the USDA database and have added similar databases from other countries (Australia, Japan and so on). For specific brands we use the information provided by the companies who manufacture the products. Our database is updated on almost a daily basis.

Please let me know if you have further questions.

Kind Regards,

Gilad

Hi User,

Thank you for contacting us regarding this issue. I’m sorry, we had a recurring problem over the last few days. It should be fixed in a few hours and you will be able to create new recipes.

I’m sorry for the inconvenience.

Kind Regards,

Gilad

Hi Karen,

Glad to hear!

I think that Pinterest doesn’t do it automatically. We’re trying it now on our test site and I believe that after you do the procedure once it should work for the rest of the site. Anyway, try the following:

1) Go to https://developers.pinterest.com/rich_pins/validator/
2) Insert the recipe URL (https://futureexpat.com/2014/12/hanukkah-latkes-potato-pancakes-recipe/) and click on validate
3) After it’s done, click on ‘Apply now’ and choose ‘HTML Tags’.
4) Wait until Pinterest approves your request…

Please let me know if this helped.

Kind Regards,

Hi Karen,

You were doing nothing wrong ??

The plugin does not support multiple recipes on the same page since Google SEO is not supported for more than one recipe. One of the benefits the plugin provides is SEO (via microdata tags) for Google. Since Google only reads the first recipe from a page, your viewers will not be able to locate the others.

Regarding Pinterest, this is surprising. I’ll have this checked out tomorrow and get back to you.

Kind Regards,

Gilad

Hi Karen,

We fixed it. Please let me know if you still see any issues.

Gilad

Hi Karen,

Quick update – we’ve located the problem and we’re working on it. Will update as soon as its resolved.

Kind Regards,

Gilad

Hi Karen,

We’ll check out the problem and get back to you ASAP. The plugin recipes and kitchenbug.com recipes are not linked nor do they share the same storage. There are several reasons for this with the main one being that kitchenbug.com is a site for collecting and sharing recipes and not a recipe aggregator. You can of course choose to collect the recipes to your recipe box and thereby let others users find your website through the online search, explore or feed views.

There is a backup option in the Kitchenbug plugin admin page which exports the recipes to XML so no worries there.

Kind Regards,

Gilad

Hi Deleyna,

You can change only one ingredient measurement to either a US (pound, ounce, etc.) or a metric measure (kg, gr) and and then reanalyze the recipe. The system dropdown will appear and will default to the system which has the largest number of measurements (which are not household).

Kind Regards,

Gilad

Hi Deleyna,

Thank you for contacting us regarding this issue. I can’t be 100% sure without seeing the recipe ingredients, however I would guess that all the ingredient measurements are in household measures (1 cup, 1 tablespoon, 1 banana, etc.). When this is the case then you would not see the system (US/Metric) dropdown.

If this is not the case then send me the recipe URL and we’ll check it out.

Kind Regards,

Gilad
