Recipes Management - Plugixa Recipe

The Recipes screen is the central workspace for creating, editing, organizing, and moderating recipes.

The recipe list

Click Recipes in the plugin menu. Every screen of the plugin opens inside its one Plugixa Recipe entry in the WordPress sidebar.

The Recipes admin list, with Filters and Add Recipe buttons above a table showing each recipe with its title, category, cuisine, difficulty, total time, star rating, a status chip reading Draft, Pending Review or Published, its date, and a per-row actions menu

The table shows:

Column	Description
Thumbnail	Main recipe image (if set)
Title	Links to the editor
Status	`draft`, `published`, `pending`, `archived`
Category / Cuisine	Comma-separated tags
Rating	Cached `rating_average` (0 to 5) and `rating_count`
Views	Cached `view_count`
Modified	Last modification timestamp
Actions	Edit, view, duplicate, delete

Filters

Click Filter (top-right) to open the filter drawer. You can filter by:

Status - draft, published, pending, archived
Category - any category
Cuisine - any cuisine
Course - appetizer, main, dessert, …
Difficulty - easy, medium, hard, expert
Cost - budget, moderate, expensive, premium
Diet flags - vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free, dairy-free, keto, low-carb, nut-free, paleo, sugar-free, halal, kosher
Featured - is_featured flag
Editor’s pick - is_editor_pick flag
Language - when WPML/Polylang is active
Rating - minimum average rating
Search - title / description full-text

Active filters are shown as chips above the table and can be removed individually.

Bulk actions

Select recipes using the row checkboxes, then choose:

Publish / draft / archive
Mark as Featured / Editor’s pick (or remove)
Delete

Publishing a recipe, taking a published one down and moderating reviews need the WordPress publish capability (Authors and above by default). Contributors can still write drafts and submit them for review.

Creating / editing a recipe

Click Add Recipe, or a recipe’s title, to open the recipe editor. Since version 1.2.0 the editor is one page with a section bar instead of eight tabs:

The Plugixa Recipe editor with its section bar (Basics, Time and servings, Ingredients, Instructions, Nutrition, Notes and source, Tags and diet) and a sidebar with Publish, Classification and Image panels

Sections: Basics, Time & servings, Ingredients, Instructions, Nutrition, Notes & source, Tags & diet and SEO, plus your custom fields PRO.
Ingredients and steps: drag to reorder, group under headings, paste a whole list, pick units and ingredients from suggestions. Each step can have a title, a timer, a tip, a video and a photo.
Classification: categories, cuisines and courses are searched, and created, from the editor itself.
Safety: a draft is kept in your browser, leaving with unsaved changes asks first, and Ctrl+S (Cmd+S on a Mac) saves.

The full tour, field by field, is on the Recipe Editor page.

Manual ordering

Default sort in shortcodes/views is by created_at DESC. To pin specific recipes at the top, use Recipes → Ordering. Drag recipes into your preferred sequence. The order is written to display_order and used whenever a shortcode sets orderby="display_order".

Duplicating a recipe

Use the row action Duplicate to clone a recipe (ingredients, instructions, nutrition, custom fields all copy). The new copy is set to draft with “(Copy)” appended to the title and slug.

Deleting a recipe

Deleting a recipe removes it plus its ingredients, instructions, nutrition row, reviews, and favorites (cascading deletes). Reviews in the trash are also dropped.

Recipe URLs

Each published recipe is available at:

/recipe/{id}/{slug}/

and a print-friendly version at:

/recipe-print/{id}/

An address for a recipe that does not exist answers 404. When a recipe is embedded in a post, its own address names that post as its canonical. See Permalinks & URLs for customization.
