Plugin Description
Meal Planner Pro brings your recipes right to your readers’ tables!
Make your recipes SEO-friendly and more likely to appear in Google’s Recipe View search. No need to hand-code your recipes into a sophisticated recipe structure when the Meal Planner Pro Recipe Plugin will do all the heavy lifting for you, enhancing the findability of your recipe website.
If you’re familiar with the open-source RecipeSEO plugin built by Allison Day, you’ll quickly note that the Meal Planner Pro Recipe Plugin is an extension of this plugin.
Among the new features added by Meal Planner Pro are:
Works with WordPress > 4.2.2: Updated for full compatibility with WordPress > 4.2.2.
Schema/Recipe Support: Automatically integrate Schema.org’s Recipe mark-up into your recipe posts to make them more findable by search engines.
Recipe Image Support: Add images within the plugin to appear with your recipe or in your Google Rich Snippet.
Copy/Paste Ingredients: Simply cut a block of ingredients and paste them into one field. No need to add each ingredient one by one into separate fields.
Auto-Populate Recipe Name: The recipe name is automatically replicated inside the plugin, taking the name from the post name, which further enhances SEO.
Add Links to Ingredients or Instructions: Attach affiliate links or links to related recipes from the Ingredients, Instructions or Summary fields with ease. No other plugin enables you to do this.
Bold and Asterisk Styling: Add bold or italicized styling to words or phrases within the Ingredients, Instructions, Summary and Notes sections.
Modified Image Display: Add a recipe image to the plugin so that it displays in a user’s recipe box, but then choose to hide it from view on your recipe post and/or print view.
Incorporate Images into Instructions: Now you can easily add step-by-step images to your instructions (or ingredients) from within the plugin.
Notes Field: Add notes to your recipes, such as optional ingredients, required kitchen tools and equipment and/or additional instructions (e.g., freezing, microwave, etc.)
Save Recipe Button: Let your users save your recipe to their Meal Planner Pro recipe box with the click of a button.
Enhanced Printing Capabilities: Add a copyright statement or URL to appear at the bottom of your printed recipes. Also, display a permalink at the bottom of printed recipes so users can easily find individual recipes on your website.
Multiple Paragraph Support in Summary Section: Users can now add multiple paragraphs to the Summary field within the plugin.
Screenshots
-
The Meal Planner Pro Recipe Plugin icon appears on the visual editor toolbar.
-
It’s easy to enter the basic information for your recipes: the title, the ingredients and the instructions for preparing the recipe.
-
There is no limit to the number of ingredients you can add.
-
And if you want to add even more information about your recipe, such as your rating of the recipe, or the serving size, all you have to do is click the “More Options” link, and you can!
-
You can fill out as many or as few additional options as you would like.
-
Once you click the “Add Recipe” button, a placeholder image will be inserted into your post where your recipe will go. If you need to edit your recipe, simply click on the spoon and fork icon in the visual editor toolbar (you do not need to click on the recipe placeholder as you did in previous releases of the plugin).
-
Once you preview or publish the post, your recipe will be there with all your microformats… without any extra work from you!
