Excellent, thank you! I was able to find your email based on that URL. I’m also kind of hungry right now, some of those recipes look really delicious ??
Back to the problem at hand. You’re indeed in a special situation, because your site uses a custom post type, recipe, and posts in that Post Type weren’t available to WordPress.com before, and consequently weren’t indexed at all. No Related Posts were calculated for that Post Type.
Luckily, it seems that my colleagues already helped you out with this. You can indeed use the rest_api_allowed_post_types filter to make a Custom Post Type (or a list of Post Types) available to WordPress.com, like so:
function allow_my_post_types( $allowed_post_types ) {
$allowed_post_types[] = 'recipe';
return $allowed_post_types;
}
add_filter( 'rest_api_allowed_post_types', 'allow_my_post_types' );
You can learn more about this filter here:

Once that filter is added to your site, you can then use the “Full Sync” button at the bottom of this page to force all your posts to be synchronized with WordPress.com:
https://wordpress.com/settings/general/
It seems you’ve done that already, and WordPress.com has now indexed all your recipes (57 of them apparently). It also generated Related Recipes for each one of them. You don’t need any additional filter for this to happen.
Unfortunately, the related recipes still don’t appear. I wonder if the problem could be linked to your caching plugin, caching the related posts data for much longer than the usual 12 hours.
We’ll take a closer look at this and get back to you soon!
