Setting up the Recipe Snippet

The custom Recipe Snippet will automatically display a "Jump to Recipe" and "Print Recipe" button at the top of any post that contains a recipe.

1. In your WordPress dashboard, navigate to WP Recipe Maker > Settings.

2. Under Recipe Snippet, check "Automatically add snippets."

3. Under Food Recipe Snippet Template, select the Snippet template that contains your theme name. E.g. "Snippet Savannah."

4. Click Save Changes at the top left of the settings panel.

Prefer to insert the snippet buttons manually, or only for certain recipes? It's possible to insert snippets manually instead of using the automatic snippet — click here for instructions.

Recommendation for Performance

Go to WP Recipe Maker > Settings > Performance and enable Only load assets when needed. This will prevent WP Recipe Maker code from loading on your homepage and other pages that do not contain recipes, which can slow site speed.
