<p>Our motivation for releasing this plugin is based on a forum discussion on the food-cook theme support site.</p>
<p>We felt that we already had some code that could serve as a basis for producing this plugin, other food bloggers could benefit and possibly improve on.</p>
<p>This plugin will work best on blogs that use <a href="http://themeforest.net/item/food-cook-multipurpose-food-recipe-wp-theme/4915630" rel="nofollow ugc">food-cook</a> theme.</p>
<p>For food blogs that are not based on the food-cook theme, It is possible to create a <a href="https://wordpress.org/plugins/custom-post-type-ui/" rel="ugc">custom post type</a> called “recipe” and an ingredients post_meta entry with key “RECIPE_META_ingredients”.</p>
<p>We strongly recommended taking this route or using this plugin under the guidance of a WordPress developer.</p>
<p>From a more technical side, In order to generate a nutrition facts label, you can either generate an image or generate a post_meta key (gfb_recipe_meta_nutrition_facts) that holds JSON data (for each recipe) which is used to generate a nutrition label.</p>
<p>This plugin also includes a meta box within the recipe post edit page in the admin area, which automatically reads the post_meta entry with key “RECIPE_META_ingredients” which mainly contains your ingredients list and uses that to generate the nutrition label.</p>
<p>In order to automatically display a nutrition label on the every recipe, your WordPress developer should add this line of code to the best possible place.</p>
<pre><code>  <?php echo do_shortcode( '[embed_nutrition_label]' ) ?>
</code></pre>
<p>It is also possible to embed this as a short-code from the text editor.</p>
<p>But based on the food-cook recipe page layout your options may appear limited, hence why it is best that a WordPress developer helps out here.</p>
<pre><code>  [embed_nutrition_label]
</code></pre>
