4. Click Publish

Now breadcrumbs will show up on your site to help visitors find their way around.

Step 1: Install WP Recipe Maker

1. Go to your WordPress Dashboard.
2. Click Plugins > Add New.
3. Search for WP Recipe Maker, then click Install and Activate.

Step 2: Choose a Custom Recipe Template

Your theme comes with a matching recipe template to keep your design consistent.

1. Go to WP Recipe Maker > Settings.
2. Click on the Appearance tab, then open the Recipe Template section.
3. Choose the ‘Themeshine’ template from the dropdown.
4. Click Save Changes.

Do the same under the Print Template section so your print version looks just as nice.

Step 3: Create and Add a Recipe to a Post

You can build the recipe directly inside any blog post.

1. Go to Posts > Add New (or edit a post).
2. Click the “+” button and look for the WPRM Recipe block.
3. Choose Create New Recipe or Insert Existing Recipe.
4. Add all your recipe details: image, name, ingredients, steps, etc.
5. Click Save & Close.

Step 4: Add “Jump to Recipe” and “Print” Buttons

To make it easier for visitors to find or print the recipe:

1. Go to WP Recipe Maker > Settings.
2. Under Appearance, click on Recipe Snippets.
3. Pick ‘Snippet Themeshine Buttons‘ style from the dropdown.
4. Click Save Changes.

Step 5: Add the Buttons to Your Post

Make sure your post already has a recipe added.

1. Edit the post where the recipe is.
2. At the top of the post, add the Recipe Snippet block.

That’s it! Now your visitors can view your recipe in a clean format, jump right to it, or print it out with just a click.

Here’s how you can find it:

Find a Page or Post ID

1. Go to your WordPress dashboard.
2. Click on Pages or Posts, then choose the one you want to check.
3. Once you open it in edit mode, look at the URL in your browser.

You’ll see something like this:
...post.php?post=1234&action=edit

In this case, 1234 is the ID of the post or page.

Find a Category or Tag ID

1. Go to Posts > Categories (or Posts > Tags).
2. Click the category or tag you want to check.
3. Look at the URL when the edit screen opens.

It will look something like this:
...edit-tags.php?action=edit&taxonomy=category&tag_ID=21

Here, 21 is the ID of that category.

That’s it! Just check the browser link when editing, and you’ll always find the ID you need.
