Description
The Recipes add-on connects FacetWP to the WP Recipe Maker and Tasty Recipes plugins, indexing recipe data such as ingredients, preparation time, servings, calories and ratings for use in facets and filters. The integration adds a new data-source dropdown in the facet configuration, allowing the choice between indexing blog posts with attached recipes or indexing the wprm_recipe records directly to create customized grids.

How to install
Automatic updates: this item is updated by the Ultrapack Auto Updater. With it installed, the new version shows up in your dashboard like any other WordPress update (how to set it up).
This item is an add-on for the FacetWP plugin. Installed on its own it throws no error, but it does not work either.
- Install and activate the FacetWP plugin before this one.
- Download the file
facetwp-recipes.zip. - In the WordPress dashboard, go to Plugins > Add New > Upload Plugin.
- Select the file
facetwp-recipes.zip, click Install Now and then Activate.
- Both stay active at the same time. Deactivating the FacetWP plugin turns this add-on off with it.
- An add-on settings usually show up inside the main plugin screens, not in a menu of their own. If you find nothing new in the dashboard after activating, look there before opening a ticket.
