Descrizione
Visual Recipe Index
This plugin creates an automatically updating recipe index with pictures.
It uses the recipes that you already have on your blog, and the categories that you have defined.
To use, follow the instructions on the admin page (Settings->Visual Recipe Index) to generate shortcodes to paste onto a page of your choice to display your recipe index.
This plugin uses the featured image for the thumbnail if set, and the first image of the post if a featured image isn’t set.

FAQ
-
Can I style this with css?
-
Yes, everything should be fully styleable. If you find something that isn’t please contact the developer via the support forums and I’ll see what I can do.
-
How are the images resized?
-
Visual Recipe Index now uses WordPress’ built-in image sizes so thumbnails are generated by the core media library instead of the legacy TimThumb script.
-
Why aren’t my images showing?
-
Verify that each recipe has a featured image set (or at least one image inside the post content) and that you are running WordPress’ background thumbnail generation. After uploading an image, WordPress should automatically create the sizes requested by the plugin—if it does not, try regenerating thumbnails with the Regenerate Thumbnails plugin or similar tool.
