Hi Tom,
We’re sorry to hear you’re having trouble with nutrition calculations. We’ve tested thoroughly from our end and it works fine. We sent out a newsletter explaining more instructions on how to use the nutrition feature. If you didn’t receive this I’ve include below. I think it’s just a matter of understanding the steps to edit ingredient matches then saving the edits to calculate nutrition. If you’re still having difficulty please contact us through support(at)mealplannerpro(dot)com.
We fine tuned the nutrition display options and released a new recipe plugin version. The options are:
Don’t calculate or display nutrition (doesn’t generate nutrition schema)
Display nutrition (choose which design style to display)
Collapse nutrition (readers can choose to expand to view if they wish)
* Display nutrition and Collapse nutrition options both generate nutrition schema for Google
To edit and calculate nutrition click the “Nutrition Analyzer” button in recipe placeholder. See instructions below.
Enter recipe info as normal > save recipe > save post > then open placeholder once more to edit recipe. You’ll then see the nutrition analyzer button. (beside the Tag Manager button)
Click analyzer button to edit ingredient matches > be sure to enter servings > save edits > then save post once more.. Esha Research then calculates nutrition per serving.
You can also test how the analyzer works by using our nutrition calculator. It functions pretty much the same way within the plugin.
Note: when you go to edit recipe you’ll also see our “Tag Manager” button. It’s important to take the time to edit nutrition and add tags/keywords. You only need to do this once then forget about it.
Tag Manage Button
You can add tags for course, cuisine, occasion etc. Also tags for “Suitable For Diet”such as vegetarian, vegan and gluten-free.
We analyze your list of ingredients to auto generate tags for 19 diets and food allergies. You can then add your own unique tags and/or remove any auto generated ones if you wish.
Then our plugin generates the proper schema for Google and Pinterest.
Your recipes meet far more diet preference than you even know!
Here’s a great article on tags I found recently:
