Thank you! Yes, I will take a look at this file and try a version myself, and will share the code immediately here or in another message if I do. Thanks for those values. This plugin works perfectly with an existing plugin we have created for recipe and food data, and now fulfills all the recommended Google Structured Data.

Thanks again,
Lara

We will use the same fix listed in the CSS mentioned by @jsites here. You can successfully include this code in your theme and update when 1.3.12 is released. Either or both solutions will achieve the desired outcome.

Thanks!
Lara

Thanks for listing these conflicts! We can definitely write some fixes into this recipe plugin’s code for the most popular conflicts, so any mention helps. Advanced Custom Fields Pro is a very popular plugin, so it is definitely a fix that I would like to add to the code soon. When I have logged a new Github issue to track this in our open source repo, I’ll post it here for easy future reference. I’ll also update this thread when a fix is included in a new release of the plugin, which will be 1.3.12.

Writing a fix into your theme for any 3rd party plugin conflicts with this plugin is a great interim fix.

I’ll follow up here when 1.3.12 is ready, an estimated week or two from today. In the meantime, if anyone else is experiencing this same issue, kindly list any suspected conflicting plugins and we can take a closer look.

Thank you all,
Lara

Thank you for finding and reporting this issue. In the future, please feel free to submit a new issue in the repo where the plugin is actively developed https://github.com/simmerwp/simmer. We are unable to reproduce this error, and find the drop down is not obscured as shared in the example screenshots.

For those who are able to reproduce this bug: what is the name of the WordPress theme you have activated when this bug occurs? Are there any plugins that might also be conflicting? Could you share an example web address?

Note that in the future, you can always manually type or paste shortcodes for recipes: https://docs.simmerwp.com/hc/en-us/articles/203132209-Recipe-shortcodes

If you have an urgent issue that requires the attention of a developer, you can purchase a membership (https://simmerwp.com/benefits) for an immediate reply during business hours. Our engineers work with members’ theme code to meet a variety of commercial needs on the web. We also have just released a beta copy of our first responsive theme, Kitchen, for members only: https://simmerwp.com/blog/kitchen-wordpress-theme/

Simmer also is configured seamlessly with the default twenty fifteen theme, including a special child-theme we have released at https://simmerwp.com (check Themes at the top), along with other high-quality WordPress themes.

Thank you

Hi rbennet and ftloeks!

Simmer does not support links in ingredients or instructions. We have a future add-on for this purpose planned but not yet released: https://simmer.zendesk.com/hc/en-us/articles/211305906-Coming-soon-rich-ingredients-and-instructions

You will have to combine Simmer with another WordPress plugin or customized code to use links in ingredients or instructions. We cannot provide support for plugin code we do not create or control, so we cannot guarantee any plugins will be able to work with Simmer.

Since this request falls outside the current functionality of Simmer, I’m going to mark it as resolved.

Thank you!
Lara

Hi Joke – Thanks for the update and for working with us on this bug. We have a Github Issue outlined for a potential problem with exporting here on Github since August 2015: https://github.com/simmerwp/simmer/issues/77 You can make an open source contribution to fix the problem in the code via Github with a pull request any time if you find it. Many thanks! JSON is largely replacing XML, including in WordPress. We’re still adding a lot of additional information to our documentation, and we’ll be sure to work on our export instructions and actual features asap.

In the meantime, you can “clone” the database that holds WordPress to make sure you’re not just taking the posts, pages, and recipes, but all other relevant data between your local and production environments. You can do this a few ways, including with any of the plugins widely available on the www.ads-software.com plugin directory for backup tools.

If you find any other bugs in the future, feel free to open a new support issue here, or reply to this conversation, and we’ll add the relevant information to Github for our team to address asap.

For further support also email [email protected].

Thanks!
Lara

Hi Joke! Right now Simmer recipes can be exported in JSON. Are you finding that when you view or use this JSON file, the ingredients and instructions items are gone from recipes?

Thank you!
Lara

Hi Simco, thanks for the great question.

Recipe styling in WordPress with Simmer is completely dependent on the way your theme styles CPTs. Divi is a great theme, and the way the recipe “sidebars” are displayed is 100% dependent on the way this theme is coded. Since this is a theme-specific question, you’ll need to reach out to the original developers of the Divi theme to determine the issue.

For example, in the WordPress default twentyfifteen theme, Simmer’s recipe CPT meta is displayed at the top, not in a “sidebar”: https://laralittlefield.pub/recipes/recipe/zucchini-fritters/

Additionally, page builders can present a number of different issues when creating content in WordPress, so please reach out to the page builder developers should you have questions about that feature, too.

Otherwise, feel free to email our support team anytime in the future at [email protected] if you’re a member, or have questions about becoming a Simmer member. (https://simmerwp.com/membership/)

Hi Datalynk! We’re working on adding more customization settings to the permalink structure soon. Thanks for your note here, and we’ll add your request to the list, too.

Feel free to report any other bugs you find any time here in the support forums.

Cheers,
Lara

Hi Amber! Thanks for your detailed message here. We’re glad you like the plugin.

A. Currently, there is not. However, upcoming plans for add-ons include a “rich” ingredient and instruction editor so that you can incorporate in the future images, video, links, and more into your recipes. These new features will make processes like including affiliate links in ingredient lists easier.

In their simplest format, recipes are a compilation of ingredients and instructions. In Simmer, instructions can be ordered by number, and we suggest breaking very large instruction explanations into multiple parts. Or, you can also use the subheading feature available for both ingredients and instructions to break things apart further.

B. We’ve structured recipes within WordPress to operate primarily as their own CPT. We can more easily structure things for a custom API later, or any other number of advanced implementations. Because of this original strategy, some developers find there is some redundancy in the permalink structure. We’re actively working on a few updates to our core plugin to fix this, and allow the structure to be more easily edited as intended. I’ll update this forum topic with the Github Issue we’ll use to track this process shortly. In the meantime, thank you so much for your feedback as a developer, and feel free to reach out to us anytime at [email protected].

Thanks!
Lara

Hi rbennett! We’re so glad you like the plugin!

Since every WordPress theme is different, the way recipes are formatted is different for every WordPress installation. Do you have a URL for this example where the text is running over so we can look at the code? Typically we only provide this type of premium support to our members, but I’m happy to help today as a courtesy.

Hi Tara! Right now we do not have a feature that fully imports or exports from prior recipe plugins. We suggest that you build your new recipe library alongside your old one if you can, gradually transferring them over to Simmer as you see fit.

Thanks!

Hi Napalm! Do you have an example recipe where the instructions or ingredients are being lost that you can share? Usually if you re-try saving, the new items will correctly be stored to your WordPress installation.
