[Plugin: Easy Recipe] Update problems with recipe display

Most of the problems are being caused by W3 Total Cache (and perhaps other caching plugins).

We’ll have an update out in a few hours that gets around it.

There’s actually two main problems: the first is that caching plugins can mess up the recipe itself if you re-edit a recipe soon after viewing it and the second is that some people have modified the recipe HTML manually and we no longer recognise it (or only recognise part of it) as a recipe.

We have a fix for the first problem and we’ll *try* to repair the HTML automatically in the second case. Mostly people seem to be adding extra HTML for section headings in the Ingredients and Instructions. There’s no need to do this (and in fact will break EasyRecipe badly as you’ve seen) – you can get a section heading by prefixing the line with an exclamation mark.

So you’d use something like:

!Meat
1 pound skirt/flank steak or 1 pound boneless chicken breast or 1 pound jumbo shrimp
!Veggies
1 large yellow onion, sliced
1 red pepper, sliced
1 green pepper, sliced
1/2 tsp cayenne if you want it spicier
!Additional Stuff
Tortillas
sour cream, cheese, lettuce, tomatoes, salsa, refried beans…

“Meat”, Veggies” and “Additional stuff” will be displayed as section headings. If you do it this way you can also tweak the appearance and spacing of the headings using Live Formatting.

We should have something out that will fix most problems before the end of the weekend.
