Pro recipe tools

MisePress Recipes Pro includes optional frontend tools that can be enabled individually from settings.

Cook Mode

Cook Mode opens a focused cooking overlay with larger steps, progress controls, timers where detected, and wake-lock support where the browser allows it.

Download PDF

Download PDF creates a branded recipe PDF. It is separate from browser Print: Print opens the browser's print flow, while Download PDF creates a saved file.

Pin Recipe

Pin Recipe uses Pinterest sharing with the recipe URL, custom pin description and custom pin image when configured.

Saved recipe collections

Logged-in users can save recipes into named collections. Use [misepress_saved_collections] to create a page where users can view their collections.

Private user notes

Logged-in users can save private notes per recipe. Notes are stored in user meta under misepress_private_notes, keyed by recipe ID. They are private to the current user and are not stored on the recipe post. Private Notes can be placed under ingredients, after instructions, before reviews/lower sections, or at the bottom of the recipe.

Use [misepress_private_notes] to create a page where users can see all their saved notes.

Author Box

The Author Box can be enabled and placed around the recipe template. Placement options include under the title/hero, before recipe content, under ingredients, after recipe content, or at the bottom. The “View recipes by author” link sends users to the MisePress recipe archive filtered by that author, rather than the generic WordPress author archive.

Schema health check

Editors can see recipe readiness/schema health checks in the recipe editor to catch missing details such as image, ingredients, instructions, times, servings, nutrition/disclaimer and schema readiness.

Dynamic/cache behaviour

Private Notes, Saved Collections, Favourites, Shopping List state, Smart Feed preferences and similar user-specific tools are refreshed with AJAX and marked no-store so they do not get stuck behind page cache/CDN cache. Cached recipe HTML should never contain another user's private note; the note textarea is hydrated after load for the current signed-in user.

1.35.60 additions

• Private Notes and Author Box now support a Before ingredients placement.
• Private Notes include a style option: Enhanced card or Plain recipe section.
• Author Box includes a Plain recipe section style so it can visually match the other recipe sections instead of looking like a feature card.

Author box display options

The Author Box can be enabled as a Pro recipe tool. Site owners can choose its placement, style, whether to show the author's profile photo/avatar, and whether to show the author's website link. The “View recipes by author” button opens the MisePress recipe archive filtered to that author.

Private Notes display options

Private Notes can be placed before ingredients, under ingredients, after instructions, before reviews, or at the bottom of the recipe. The plain style is designed to blend into the normal recipe sections, while the enhanced style is more prominent.

1.35.62 note

Single recipe Pro settings now show the Pro badge at section level rather than repeating it on every child option. Author box rendering was also tightened so layouts without an avatar or website link stay aligned in narrow/under-ingredients placements.

v1.35.63 polish

• Related recipes can be titled, positioned, enabled/disabled, and can show match reason labels.
• Private notes include clear/save actions, a saved timestamp, and a dedicated notes index shortcode/page.
• Saved collections and user actions use inline toast feedback instead of browser alerts.
• Author boxes support profile photo, website, bio, recipe count, CTA, custom heading and link destination settings.
• Onboarding can create the main recipe, favourites, shopping list, saved collections, private notes and submit-recipe pages.
• The in-admin Documentation page remains the searchable shortcode/settings reference.

Email platform integrations

Captured subscribers are always stored locally and can be exported as CSV. Site owners can optionally sync new subscribers to a provider under Settings → Account & engagement → Email platform integrations.

Supported sync targets:

• Generic webhook
• Mailchimp
• Brevo
• ConvertKit
• FluentCRM

Email delivery/confirmation still depends on the WordPress mail/SMTP setup.

Affiliate equipment/product cards

Equipment rows support optional buy links, product image URLs, price/label text, and custom button labels. Links use sponsored/nofollow attributes by default.

Recipe roundups

Use [misepress_recipe_roundup ids="1,2,3" title="Summer dinner ideas"] to build listicle-style recipe collections with ItemList schema.
