Hi there,
The idea of WP Recipe Maker that every recipe gets added to a post, page or custom post type. When you save a post with a recipe in it, that post becomes its parent post: https://help.bootstrapped.ventures/article/67-creating-a-recipe
The recipe basically takes over the post status of its parent. So when you publish the post, the recipe will be published as well.
is there a way to change that or automate it? So the client creates a receipe & then has to create a shell post (or a custom object to hold the recipe)? and then post the thumbnail twice (once inside the recipe & once inside the post)? That seems like a lot of extra work.
How does the RSS work in that scenario? is the RSS tied to the posts (with the shortcode content) or the actual receipes?

Almost all of our users need post content next to the recipe, like in this demo:
https://demo.wprecipemaker.com/amazing-vegetable-pizza/
So that’s what the plugin is built for. Technically you can automate everything, I guess.
But there is no need to go through 2 steps. You just create a new post and directly add a recipe block inside. There’s a setting that will automatically use the featured image of the parent post, so no extra work there either.
RSS would be for the posts. You shouldn’t think about the recipes as separate objects. They are just part of a regular post like a paragraph or another shortcode.
gotcha. I think they were thinking all the “content” would go in the recipe / description / notes / etc and not be a separate thing.
I’ll follow-up with them.
