Recipe list order doesn’t change

In the settings for the recipe plugin, I see the following shortcodes (I guess that’s what these are):

[cooked-info left=”author,taxonomies,difficulty” right=”print,fullscreen”]

[cooked-excerpt]

[cooked-image]

[cooked-info left=”servings” right=”prep_time,cook_time,total_time”]

[cooked-ingredients]

[cooked-directions]

[cooked-notes show_header=true]

[cooked-gallery]

Hey folks,

I had tried various things to get a recipe page to work. The first was simply to create a blank page and then edit the page with elementor, and drag a Cooked recipe list into the page. This gave me a page with a recipe list ordered in most-recently-added-last ordering; nothing I did changed this ordering. You may view this page at https://wilburgoltermann.com/test-page/

Following your suggestion, I created a new page and simply added the [cooked-browse] shortcode to it per your suggestion. This gave me a page which is a bit more to my liking; see it at https://wilburgoltermann.com/recipe-book123/. Notice that this page has a block for each recipe in the list, which is ordered alphabetically as I originally wanted.

There are two problems with this list:

1. While the list is in alphabetical order, if I drill down into any recipe item, and then follow the previous or next arrows on the resulting page, the alphabetical sequencing is not preserver, but reverts to the most recently added first. How can I fix this?
2. The second problem is that I would like to items in the recipe list to reflect a single photo for each recipe. When actually entering a new recipe one is allowed to add a photo to each element of the directions field, so that each step in implementing a recipe can be accompanied by a photo for that step. I would like the recipe list to show a single photo for each recipe. I am hoping that this can be done. Please let me know.

Thanks,

Wilbur Goltermann

Hi again,

I really appreciate the help you have provided!

I have another short question: How can I remove the previous/next navigation buttons from the recipe card?

By the way, I have come up with a recipe template that I rather like. It involved writing some html code to insert a table into the template. Check it out by drilling down into one of my recipes at:

https://wilburgoltermann.com/recipe-book123/

Here is the html for the template:

<div style=”font-family: times,serif; font-size: 24px; line-height: 1.2;”>
<p><a href=”https://wilburgoltermann.com/recipe-book123/”>BACK</a></p&gt;
<p>[cooked-info left=”author,taxonomies,difficulty” right=”print,fullscreen”]</p>
<p>[cooked-excerpt]</p>
<p>[cooked-info left=”servings” right=”prep_time,cook_time,total_time”]</p>
<table style=”border-collapse: collapse; width: 100%;” border=”1″>
<tbody>
<tr>
<td><strong>Ingredients</strong></td>
<td><strong>Image</strong></td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td style=”width: 49.638989%;”>[cooked-ingredients]</td>
<td style=”width: 49.638989%;”>[cooked-image]</td>
</tr>
</tbody>
</table>
<p>[cooked-directions]</p>
</div>
