 * Hi,
    The recipes on [this page](https://www.stiritup.org.uk/2020/03/27/3_ways_with_squash/)
   all just link back to the same page, i.e. you click on a recipe and it just refreshes
   the page that you’re on. I managed to fix it temporarily by deleting the recipes,
   then finding the parent posts in the Tools section. That worked for a time but
   now it’s just reverted to linking back to the original post, as you can see here:
   [https://snipboard.io/Csexz6.jpg](https://snipboard.io/Csexz6.jpg) (see last 
   three recipes)
 * It’s driving me mad – any ideas?
    Thanks in advance

   to see the link]_

 * When you save a post/page it looks for any recipes inside and associates itself
   as being the parent of that recipe. The recipe shortcode/block should only get
   added to 1 post.
 * If you want to reference that recipe in another post/page, use the recipe roundup
   feature instead: [https://help.bootstrapped.ventures/article/182-itemlist-metadata-for-recipe-roundup-posts](https://help.bootstrapped.ventures/article/182-itemlist-metadata-for-recipe-roundup-posts)

 * Thanks for your reply.
    I am actually using a roundup summary but one which came
   with the theme I’m using.
 * I tried editing the default roundup summary in the template maker but it didn’t
   seem to work. Any ideas why that might be?
 * Also, this page [https://www.stiritup.org.uk/2020/11/12/working-lunches/](https://www.stiritup.org.uk/2020/11/12/working-lunches/),
   which used the same roundup summary from the theme, does work. Doesn’t seem to
   make sense!

 * It’s not about the template you use but the block/shortcode you’re adding.
 * There’s both a “Recipe” block and a “Recipe Roundup” block.
 * The recipe block should only exist in one place, which is inside the parent post.
   If you want to reference that recipe in different places, use the “Recipe Roundup”
   block.
 * Both of those can use any of the available templates.
