 * Hello
 * In a localhost test environment, I have followed your instructions to migrate
   from the original Cooked Classic. _However_ I haven’t progressed to the ‘purchased’
   Cooked Pro (also successfully completed) to see if I can get away with using 
   just the Free version and not the Pro.
 * The recipe page (frontend) then fills with maaaaaaaaany instances (screens and
   screens) of
 * `Warning: rand() expects parameter 1 to be integer, float given in C:\xampp\htdocs\
   xxxxxxxxxx\wp-content\plugins\cooked\includes\class.cooked-recipes.php on line
   961`
 * It also does this in the recipe editing page, but disappears when I click on ‘
   Update’ to save it. That instruction to click Update appears after the warning
   is repeated 16 times for line 961 (as above) and 13 times for line 990.
 * Unfortunately also all recipe content is lost except the last section heading
   used – no ingredients nor directions, just a single section heading.
 * Is this caused because I am trying to migrate from Cooked Classic to Cooked Free,
   and I should be migrating to Cooked Pro only?
 * (Also, if so, would I be able to install Cooked Pro on a local test environment
   _as well as_ a live site at the same time?)

 * You don’t need Cooked Pro to do the update from Classic to this version. However,
   it sounds like you’ve entered your old recipe ingredients in as line items instead
   of using the drag and drop editor? I’m thinking there might be a bug that is 
   conflicting with the “per line” entered ingredients from Classic. Can you confirm
   that this is the case?

 * The recipes were originally entered in the Detailed Entry view, not the Simple
   Entry view – both ingredients and directions.

 * Honestly I’m not sure what is going wrong here without being able to take a closer
   look. Can you shoot me an email so we can discuss further?

 * I have emailed you as requested. Issues are still persisting even on a fresh 
   new local test environment.
