How to Add a Recipe to Your WordPress Blog

If you’re a food blogger, sharing your recipes in a clean and structured way is essential. Instead of typing everything manually, you can use the WP Recipe Maker plugin to create beautiful recipe cards with ease – no coding needed!

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.
