Visual Recipe Index

Сүрөттөө

Visual Recipe Index
This plugin creates an automatically updating recipe index with pictures.
It uses the recipes that you already have on your blog, and the categories that you have defined.

To use, follow the instructions on the admin page (Settings->Visual Recipe Index) to generate shortcodes to paste onto a page of your choice to display your recipe index.

This plugin uses the featured image for the thumbnail if set, and the first image of the post if a featured image isn’t set.

FAQ.KG

Can I style this with css?

Yes, everything should be fully styleable. If you find something that isn’t please contact the developer via the support forums and I’ll see what I can do.

How are the images resized?

The images are resized using an embedded version of TimThumb. It is using version 2.8.13.

Why aren’t my images showing?

The most common reason for this is that you don’t have a cache directory or the cache directory isn’t writeable by the webserver. It should be located at: your-wordpress-installation-directory/wp-content/plugins/visual-recipe-index/includes/cache.

Please ensure that this directory exists and is writeable by your webserver.

This plugin is easy to install. It does exactly what it says it does. I love that it is automated. I do wish it had an automated list feature though. I also wish that I could split each category into pages. Right now I am only using this plugin to showcase my recipes in a view all page. I had to create a different way to showcase my recipes on individual pages so that there can be more than one page. I personally hate scrolling down a long list. At least with my view all page I can add more pages, but I am not sure how that will look with only a few categories on one page, and more on another. Another plus of this plugin is it loads quickly! Before I had thumbnails that took awhile to load, or loaded in the wrong size unless you refreshed the page. If anyone is curious (I usually am)about what my individual category pages look like they’re at: http://createmindfully.com/recipes/main-dishes-and-small-dishes/
