FAQ

Where can I find a demo and some more documentation?

Check out the WP Recipe Maker sales site, demo website and WPRM documentation for more information on all of the features!

What’s the difference with WP Ultimate Recipe?

WP Ultimate Recipe is the popular recipe plugin that we released in 2013 and have been working on ever since. This gave us a great idea of what most food bloggers are looking for.

Why the new plugin? A few structural choices we made early on have caused WP Ultimate Recipe to be quite complex and not 100% compatible with all themes. With WP Recipe Maker we’re building the perfect recipe plugin from scratch, without all the baggage of years of development.

WP Ultimate Recipe is still in active development and will be maintained alongside this new alternative.

WP Recipe Maker: Perfect Plugin, Amazing Support

raquelhm September 16, 2024

I absolutely love WP Recipe Maker and highly recommend it! I started with the free version but quickly upgraded to the paid version, knowing this was the perfect plugin to help grow my business. The features are spot on, and it’s clear the developers really listen to user feedback to continually improve the plugin. I have zero complaints … which is rare. The customer support has been exceptional — whenever I needed guidance setting up the plugin or exploring its features, the responses were not only incredibly fast but also exceeded my expectations. I feel confident that as my services expand, WP Recipe Maker is the comprehensive tool I need to grow with me. Our Nutri Kitchen

Best plugin for recipes, it has several features and you can customize many of them. But the best part is the support, even though I use the free version, the support was premium. Thank you very much!
