Hi! I just bought this new theme … is there no dummy data to install?
Hello,
Yes, there is. The file import.xml can be found inside the archive you downloaded from ThemeForest.
See chapter 6. IMPORTING DEMO CONTENT for more information.
Thank you. I have followed the instructions and although it seems to be successful all I see are posts that I had from my old theme … I can only see some partial bits of this theme. I had hoped to start from scratch with this theme as I do not want to use any attributes from the old theme.
I uninstalled Wordpress and the themes and reinstalled them and I am still getting no demo content … please help 
Did you re-upload the demo content as well? Are you using the same database as with the previous blog?
I reset the data base with a plug in and that didn’t work so I deleted word press and reinstalled it and this deleted both the themes and the old theme content. I then reinstalled word press and this theme and then followed the “Importing Demo Content” chapter. It only seems to import minor aspects of the demo like the user names and a few pictures to the library for example. Ps, thank you for replying so quickly!
yes the same database but with it reset and Wordpress deleted and reinstalled on it. and the themes deleted and this one reinstalled.
You need to go through the whole documentation to make your site look like the demo Install the required plugins, create pages, set up the settings etc. See the documentation.
A theme I had before allowed you to install all their dummy data so you started out with a full site and then chopped and changed your site accordingly. I was expecting installing the dummy data to result in having the site the same way as the demo. At least I know I’m not installing it wrong now. Thanks for your patience!
Hi! I created an account page using the “User account” template and set it as a page on the main menu but when I click on it as a logged out user I only get “You must be logged in to edit your profile” but no invitation to register or If I click on the “log in” tab that displays after I selected “Display Log In, Register, and Account links in the main navigation” in settings I am prompted for a username and password but no invitation to register. I have seen the “register” form while logged in as Admin so I know it exists but I cannot get it to display. Thank you, Laura
Hello Laura,
When the user is not logged in, there are log in and register links in the navigation.
When the user is logged in, there is a dropdown in the navigation with links to the user’s profile, favorites, settings, and logging out.
Aren’t the login/register links displaying on your site, when you are logged out? Take a look at the demo site to see how they should be displayed: http://live.bobosh.com/recipes/
You don’t have to manually insert the “User account” page’s link to the navigation. It’s automatically added to the dropdown.
Heya! No unfortunately this is not happening for me. I have tried logging in on a separate machine but unfortunately the register page never appears. My site is www.veganizzze.com … I have removed maintenance mode for this morning to try and test it.
Also I have dowloaded the MealPlannerPro Recipe Plugin with my “Recipes” theme (I need the nutrition information) and although their icon appears in the existing recipes editor section it won’t recognise the recipes I have created. Can they be integrated into the theme?
Have you enabled registering on your site? Settings > General > Anyone can register
Obviously the register link won’t appear if registering is not allowed
You should remove the manually added links Register, and Account from your navigation. Like I said before these links are added automatically.
I can’t provide support for MealPlannerPro. It’s a third-party plugin, and in addition this theme has no specific support for it.
Please see the item support policy here: https://themeforest.net/page/item_support_policy#whats-not-included-item-support
I dont use OMG lightly but OMG! 
I went through that settings page I dont know how many times and didnt see that option! Thank you again!!!
Re the MealPlannerPro, no worries … thanks for checking!
Hi. I would like to replace the Description field with Ingredients on Submit Recipe from another site page. I have already made changes in page-submit-a-recipe.php and now the Ingredients field is visible in front-end, but I can’t find the code for showing them on the published recipe, instead of the description part.
http://delicioos.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/07/Untitled-1.jpg Thanks!
Hello,
Sorry for the late answer.
See the lines 71 and 197 of page-submit-a-recipe.php:
if ( $_POST[‘form’] 'submitrecipe' ) {
You should change these to:
if ( $_POST['form'] ‘submitrecipe’ || $_POST[‘form’] == ‘submiturl’ ) {
Could you please reply via my profile page if you have more questions
Thank you for the code, with little modification it really did the job. In order to make it work I used if ( $_POST['form'] =='submitrecipe' || $_POST['form'] == 'submiturl' ) { on line 197 of page-submit-a-recipe.php and added a new if statement with
if ( $_POST['form'] == 'submiturl' ) {
$get_ingredients = $_POST['ingredients'];
$ingredients = array();
foreach( $get_ingredients as $item ) {
if ( ! array_filter( $item ) ) {
continue;
}
if ( empty( $item['ingredient'] ) ) {
$error[] = __( 'Please check the ingredients', 'framework' );
}
$ingredients[] = $item;
}
if ( ! count( $ingredients ) ) {
$error[] = __( 'Please add ingredients', 'framework' );
}
elseif ( count( $ingredients ) > 3 ) {
$ingredient_rows = count( $ingredients );
}
} on line 103 because i did not want Directions on my Recipe from another site page
I posted this comment here in order to make it useful to others.
Great, good job!
Hi, I just realized that that avatars for commenters on the site are actually using my avatar. Is this a glitch or something that I can fix fairly easily? Example: the comments on this recipe: http://bit.ly/29z6rmJ
Hello,
Obviously that’s not how it should work. Thanks for letting me know.
Have you made any changes to the code? Just wondering, because on the demo site avatars are working correctly.
I have tinkered with coding on header, but nothing to change anything on how comments, discussions work. The only thing I did was change my profile photo on gravatar.
Ok, I will take a look if there’s a little bug somewhere on the theme
Hello,
I did some testing with the theme, and avatars were always displaying correctly. Also I didn’t find anything on the code, which could cause this issue.
So, I have no idea which could cause this on your site. In addition you are the only one who has reported this issue.
Have you had more comments on your site with the same problem?
Hi there — that’s really bizarre. Yeah, I asked couple of friends to post comments, so I could test them. And they still appeared with my avatar. I deleted them after testing.
I think if the problem continues (and I wouldn’t know how/where to fix), I might just consider turning comments off entirely. That’s possible, of course, right?
Yeah bizarre, I know
You are using the latest WordPress and theme versions?
Yes, you can turn comments off. That’s possible with every WordPress site.
Yes, I believe I am. I only started the site about 3 weeks ago. I can try to check and confirm. If nothing works, will have to do away with democracy and turn comments off until I can sort out what’s going on. Thanks again, for your time.
I’m looking to buy this theme. I see it supports ad placements. Where? I dont see them in the live preview. Thanks.
Hello,
I just activated the ads on the demo site. Take a look: http://live.bobosh.com/recipes/
In addition to built-in ad spaces, you can use a plugin like https://wordpress.org/plugins/insert-post-ads/ to insert ads inside the post/recipe content.
Hey, is it possible to order the members page by the number of recipes? Would be great, thanks!!
Hello,
No, unfortunately. Here is the function used to get the users: https://codex.wordpress.org/Function_Reference/get_users
There isn’t an option to sort users by custom post count.
Hi,
Thank you for your reply.
I think is it possible, but unfortunately I dont have php knowledge to do that. But there is some guides, please take a look: https://www.stormconsultancy.co.uk/blog/development/code-snippets/sort-a-list-of-wordpress-users-by-a-custom-meta-field/ http://clarklab.com/posts/sort-wordpress-users-by-custom-meta-value-with-get_users/ etc…I replied to your email. Sorry for the late answer
Hi, I tried to add a code to so I can add the main promo image on the homepage as shown in the demo, but then the same header image repeats in every single recipe page, which is not what the demo shows. Could you please guide the process to use the header image on the homepage above the list of the recipes? Thank you.
Hello,
You don’t have to add any code to add the image. It’s the featured image of the home page.
Have you read the documentation? It’s mentioned on the chapter 2.1 HOMEPAGE AND BLOG.
Ah, got it. Works like a charm – thank you. I have another question, however. Nothing on the site, or the entire site itself, shows on google searches. Even when I search the exact name of the site returns a robots.txt message. I’ve tried some tricks but it hasn’t worked so far.
How old is your site? It takes a while for Google to update its search index.
If your can be accessed normally it will appear on the search results after a while. You don’t have to make any tricks.
It’s very new, actually. I started it this past weekend only.
Something went wrong with the plugin API. While installing inbuilt plugins that comes with the theme. Version: 2.3.0. Please help.
Hello,
I replied to your email.
Where can i get demo content for this theme? Its not with the theme?
Its not in Appearance > Install demo content, there is no such option as mentioned in the documentation.
I replied to your email. Please don’t ask the same questions here.
Hi, my website has been up and running, but it has now gone on page 2. Whenever I try to view the recipes on the previous page (page 1), it comes up as PAGE NOT FOUND. Why is this so?
Hello,
Which version of WordPress and the theme do you have?
Are you using some plugins which could affect the pagination?
You could also try this first: go to Settings > Permalinks. Click Save Changes. You don’t have to change any settings, just click Save Changes.
I disabled all plugins and tried what you recommended. It still says PAGE NOT FOUND
Which version of WordPress and the theme do you have?
Have you made any changes to the theme files?
Nope, havent touched the theme files….. and im using the latest version of wordpress
Once again, what is the theme version?
The child theme version? If you’re talking about a numbered version like 3.6 or a 2.5, when I downloaded it, it didn’t have that. I have never gotten an email notification about updating the theme so I presume I have the latest version. I bought it in March of 2016 so if an update was released, I haven’t any notification.
You can find the version at Appearance > Themes. Click Theme Details link on the Recipes theme.
The current version of the theme is 2.3.0. Released on April 22nd, 2016.
A notification email is sent to every customer every time when a new version is available to download from ThemeForest.
Could you please reply to me via my profile page’s contact form
Hi, is the theme/plugin compatible with qtranslate? I’d like to use it for setting up a multilingual site.
Hello,
I haven’t tested that plugin. Some of my customers have used https://wpml.org/ successfully.
Hi, I have a drink recipe site and wold like to change my template. I like the Recipes theme but I have some questions:
- I can deactivate the vote system? - I can change the Search itens like Cuisine to Beverage Type? - I can change the icon of a Fork to a Glass?
Tnks,
Hello,
1. Yes, you can deactivate the vote system. See the item screenshots.
2. Yes, you could translate just that term if you are going to use English. Also, I will consider adding a “Type” taxonomy to the theme, then you could use it for drinks.
3. To change the icon you will need to edit the SVG file which includes all the icons. I could help you with this.
Hi! Can you use plugins from other themes with this theme http://themeforest.net/item/recipes-wordpress-theme/full_screen_preview/9258994 as in the recipe plugin from the spiced blog them I already have?
Hello Laura,
Sorry, I can’t really say anything about compatibility with that plugin.
Can you tell me how I would find out please? I wish to buy this theme but don’t want to loose other plugins.
Hello,
Only way is to inspect the code base of both themes. I don’t have access to that theme, so I can’t really say anything about the compatibility.
You have amazing theme.
But you need to do something about image upload. It is not practical for everyone to have larger size than 1450 px. It’s there a way to allow smaller image size image upload and then resize it automatically? Or can I change default image upload size!
Hello,
I replied to your email. Sorry for the late answer
Is there any plans to add nutrition information for the recipes?
Hello,
Sorry, no plans at the moment. It’s on my todo list but I can’t really promise you anything about the schedule
Could you tell me what nutrition information would you like to have on recipes? Calories, fat, saturates, carbs, sugars, fibre, protein, salt…? Any other ideas?
how come you don’t have option auto update theme via wordpress?
Hello,
Correct, updating is currently done manually. You will receive a notification email from ThemeForest when a new version is released.
So, would you like to see something like this used: https://github.com/envato/envato-wordpress-toolkit
Hi, I have sent you two messages. Please can you answer my questions, as I really want to buy the theme if all are answered? Thanks in advance
Hello,
I just replied to your email. Sorry for the late answer
Hi there, I really like your theme, just have a few questions before buying it: 1. Is it possible to change the name of ‘course’, ‘cuisine’, ‘collection’, ‘recipe tag’ filters and also what displays in each drop down? Or could I remove them? 2. Can I remove servings or change this to ‘yields’? 3. Could I remove the knife and fork icon or change it to something else? Many thanks Liz
Hello Liz,
1. In the theme options you can choose which filters are displayed.
To change the taxonomy names you would have to modify theme files directly.
2. You could “translate” the term to yields. There are instruction for translating the theme in the documentation. You can also just not use servings meta data for recipes.
3. This is a tricky one because icons are served from a single SVG file. If you don’t have good knowledge of SVG then it may be too difficult.
I was somewhat disappointed to read in the changelog that this is now a plugin because I was planning to ditch my current recipe plugin (purchased on codecanyon) and purchase your theme because every time I make a coding change or add a feature to the plugin, it gets wiped out when the plugin updates.
Your theme looks great but I was planning to add a few fields to the submission form and a few style updates to the recipe display page if I were to buy it. Would any of these changes require updating the plugin?
Hello,
This is not only a plugin. It’s a theme with a plugin which handles the theme’s functionality.
This is the right way to add functionality to a theme. And it’s been required for a while for all new themes at ThemeForest.
What kind of fields would you add to the submission form? Style updates can be easily added by using the child theme, which is always highly recommended.
Hi, I tried to translate the theme (default.po) and I followed all the steps for change to my language, but it doesn’t work. The translation works only when I change directly in author.php, comments.php… You know why?
PS: I used the demo (import.xml) Thanks
