What is Create?
Create is a free Wordpress Plugin that creates different cards on your website. This is an easy way to insert recipes, HowTo instructions, and Lists into your content.
We have optimized it heavily for speed, SEO, and monetization, and here's a list of features you can find within our plugin:
Importers: We make it easy move your recipes from other recipe plugins to Create. It lets you choose what to import, visually confirm the information is right, and edit the recipe before replacing the old recipe card in your posts.
SEO: Create outputs schema so that Google can show your data in Rich Results for better click-through-rates and more search real estate. We were the first card to offer HowTo schema, and our Recipe and List schema creates beautiful content that Google loves.
Real-time Content Preview: See what your recipe will look like while you are writing it without having to take the extra step to "preview" your post in WordPress!
Multiple Recipes Allowed: Now you can have your cake (recipe) and icing (recipe) — and eat 'em too!
Printable How-To Cards: Perfect for any kind of tutorial, allow users to print a copy of the instructions and mark your content up for SEO
Automatic Nutrition Calculation: With the click of a button, calculate calories, carbs and more for each recipe you add.
Dual Recipe Card Creation: Write your recipes in your post, or use a standalone tool.
Recommended Products: Add affiliate links and images straight into your post. Reuse these products, and update globally for the easiest affiliate sales you've ever made.
Pinterest Integration: Add a custom image and text so that your readers can Pin your content seamlessly.
Customizable Ingredients: Paste your ingredients straight into your card. You can also add images, sort them into groups and drag-and-drop them.
Smart Ratings: Our ratings come with Schema support for optimal SEO. They also stay WITH the card, so your readers never have to wonder or dig through comments to find a review or rating on the actual recipe or HowTo at hand.
Author Attribution: Easily mark who wrote the content. Super handy if you have more than one writer on your site!
Video Embeds: Why not show and tell? Include a video with your recipes or HowTo posts.
State-of-the-Art Themes: Choose between five responsive layouts from Purr Design, each with a built-in Pinterest button, integrated ratings and a highlighted image.
How will the cards display?
Our cards are displayed using a WordPress shortcode.
This means that if the plugin is disabled, the recipes themselves will not display on the front end of a blog post. This is typical behavior for most WordPress plugins.
If the plugin is deactivated, no data will be deleted and reactivating the plugin will restore the original card display.
