 * Hi, I’ve just installed your plugin and it looks very, very promising 🙂 Is a
   detailed documentaion coming shortly?
    1) I lack the option to translate all 
   terms used. Not everybody speaks English 😉 2) Is there only the full width layout
   without a sidebar? 3) In this full width layout the text expands from the left
   margin to the right one without any padding. How do I correct that? 4) Any precisions
   how to use “Class for Main Content”?

 * Hello!
    This plugin looks great. I was just about to ask the same. I’d like to
   use a full width layout, Is it possible?

 * Hey Guys,
 * Thank you for trying it out!
 * Sorry! You mean the translation file right? Yeah, there are a few terms I didn’t
   get a chance to add the proper translation prefixes to before pushing this first
   release out. Could you direct me to some of them and I’ll be sure to get them
   all in for tomorrow’s update?
 * Regarding Documentation, for sure coming soon. I’m hoping to get the first lot
   of it up in the next couple days, but I’m just trying to get the website that
   it’s all going to be posted on ready too. Definitely before the end of the weekend
   🙂
 * Could you direct me to your website or let me know the theme you’re using so 
   I can take a better look?
 * For now, one easy way to make the margin bigger is to add this bit of CSS to 
   your theme or somewhere:
 * `article.recipe { margin: 0 15px; }`
 * Where the 15px could be however big you want the margin to be. You could also
   use `padding` instead of margin if you want.
 * With the class for content, you normally need to check out the theme files to
   figure it out, but it’s pretty much the class of the div that all the recipes
   are held in. So if you’re looking at the HTML for the page in firebug or chrome
   developer tools, you’ll see it’s the class of the div that articles is in (1 
   level up).
 * Sorry if that’s all too confusing! I’m working on the layout stuff tomorrow so
   if you hang around for the update, you’ll see a lot of improvements and I’d love
   to work with you both to make it better and work nicely for you.
 * [@kalimanmx](https://wordpress.org/support/users/kalimanmx/) – hold off until
   tomorrow (like 12-16 hours) and the next update will have the ability to decide
   the layouts for all of the pages, so if you want a sidebar or fullwidth, you’ll
   be able to choose with just one simple setting.
 * If there’s anything else you guys notice or if you can think of any ideas please
   let me know! I’ll be back in 6 hours – going to catch some Z’s. 🙂

 * Thank you for your immediate reaction.
 * 1) translation. No, not necessarily a separate file. It could be dome in the 
   settings, just where you already put other items (serves, equipment, prep time…)
 * 2) looking forward for more layouts 🙂 (BTW there is a strange “right column”
   paragraphe at the bottom pf the recipe, not affected by the margin code)
 * 3) it helped to insert article.recipe { margin: 15px; } in theme CSS. My site
   is under construction, but if you want to have a look I might send you login 
   info by mail.
 * 4) yes, the above explanation of “Class for Main Content” is somewhat confusing(
   at least for a person without knowledge of coding)
 * 5) is the font size fixed? I get 18px for text, which is a bit too large. -the
   fonts in the theme are not so big.
 * 6) When a recipe is publishe, should it appear on the main blog page? (cannot
   see it there, sorry)
 * 7) Is SEO optimized like other recipe plugins?

 * Hey! 🙂
 * With translations, you actually need to translate a file that comes in the plugin
   in the `languages folder`. If this seems too confusing, there are a few plugins
   that can help you do it! Check out [this list of translation plugins](http://premium.wpmudev.org/blog/top-6-translation-plugins-for-your-wordpress-site/).
   You can use them to translate any part of the plugin at all.
 * The right column is the sidebar being pushed to the bottom – new update coming
   out today will give you an option to have ‘full width’ or ‘sidebar’. If sidebar
   is selected, it should show the sidebar. This is a little bit experimental, so
   let me know if it works for you.
 * Try not to worry about the ‘class for main content’ then, but if I see your site,
   I’ll let you know what to add there 🙂
 * Font-sizing is improved in the new version too.
 * Nope, the recipes will only display on the http//yourwebsite.com/recipes page
   and then the single recipe pages.
 * In a couple days though there will be shortcodes you can use and I’ll try add
   an option to put recipes into the main blog page too like normal posts.
 * Lots coming over the next week – I just wanted to release it a little early to
   get feedback and ideas 🙂
 * Yep, completely SEO Optimized. Once you’ve added all your data, you can check
   it with the [Google Rich Snippets Testing Tool](http://www.google.com/webmasters/tools/richsnippets).
   Just put a URL of one of the recipes in there and you can see a preview of how
   it will come up in Google. 🙂
 * Look out for the update to 0.6.5 later today!

 * Great! Looking forward to the Hero recipe update with new features 🙂
 * As for the translation, I tried to translate the .po file in PoEdit as I do with
   the theme language files. However nothing happened 🙁 I’d prefer not using plugins
   which are not necessary.
 * Feedback? First impressions are very positive. I’ve tried all available recipe
   plugins and almost decided not to use any. However I came across yours yesterday,
   just by chance. It’s much cleaner and the idea or recipe post type is interesting.

 * I appreciate it. I have a lot of plans for the plugin and I’m working on making
   it the best recipe plugin available. Soon I’ll be releasing some specially-made
   themes that are made just for this plugin 🙂
 * I’ll push the update now so you can try it out and let me know and it goes. If
   you want to email me (info [at] captaintheme (dot) com) the details for your 
   site, I’ll take a look at any problems you’re having.
 * Cheers!

 * I’m sorry but even after the update I still don’t get the sidebar (I ticked the
   option in the setting).
    Also, as mentioned above, I’m not able to translate 
   your .po file. To be more specific, when I translate it, nothing happens. Also
   Jetpack sharing buttons and like button do not appear on the recipe page.
 * The page margins are now fine. Thanks for correcting that.
 * An optimised print format would be nice.
 * Just a question – if one decides to uninstall the plugin (for whatever reason
   may happen) will the recipe be lost? I suppose it’ll be necessary to coppy each
   recipe into a new blog post. Or will you provide other solutions?

 * Hey. Could you please give me some details to check out the website? I’ve got
   a new update coming today that I want to try. You can’t always get the sidebar–
   it depends on the theme, so if I check yours I can be sure.
 * I’ll fix the Jetpack sharing buttons for today’s update too.
 * At the end of the day the plugin is intended to work with your theme and inherit
   your theme’s styles. However, in the new update today I actually did implement
   some more optimised font-sizing as a back-up to your theme not styling it.
 * The recipes will not be lost, however they will stay in the ‘recipe’ custom post
   type. So if you deactivate the plugin, you don’t lose your recipes and if you
   reactivate it, they will still be there. I can’t provide a way to automatically
   copy it into a new blog because the recipes use lots of custom meta boxes and
   fields, which are not supported by the normal post.
 * Anyway, new update coming in a few hours so check it out and also please let 
   me know how to access your site to check what’s wrong at: info [at] captaintheme(
   dot) com
 * Thank you!

 * Also, once you’ve saved the new language file, you need to edit your `wp-config.
   php` file. The only way to make this easier is using a plugin like WPML.

   Nothing Found’. My theme is ‘Twenty Fourteen’.
