Captain Theme

Hey mkdev,

Recipes are different from posts, so they cannot be shown together without custom coding. As such, I decided not to enable categories for recipes as it would make no sense for website users to look at a category expecting recipes but only seeing posts.

Each recipe has its own two custom taxonomies though: Cuisine & Course. These are more related to Recipes and are a much more useful way to ‘categorize’ recipes.

If you have any more questions, please let me know and thank you for using Recipe Hero.

Could you open another support thread here – http://wordpress.org/support/plugin/recipe-hero

And let me know your website, etc. 🙂

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!

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!

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 – 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. 🙂
