Create

It’s really disappointing to see a company like Mediavine let their once-excellent recipe card plugin fall apart like this.

I’d love to rate Create with 5-stars, but unfortunately I can’t. I thought it was an excellent plugin to begin with. I changed all my recipes over to it, which was a bit stupid. The cards are quite good, but if you want some changes, you need to know a little coding. Star ratings are paramount because Google wants them; however, Creates star-rating really sucks. It offers a comment area and write a review area; there are no alternatives; they confuse readers, so you get less comments and ratings..not good. It’s great it offers so much for free, but like any free plugin it has its limitations. I switched back to WP Recipe Maker it’s much better.

For recipe blogs that rely on a plugin for cards, this is a critical component of their sites content. WordPress announces changes and allows for proper development updates prior to releasing a new version. When a critical plugin is not updated with a major release to the extent that it breaks your site….time to find a reliable alternative.

I’d love to rate this plugin much higher, but the, in my view, embarrassing neglect of an export function really hurts the plugin. This is a huge oversight on the part of the developer, one that has been brought to their attention in the support here, but nothing has been done. Export should really be a no brainer feature for any content plugin/software.

Been writing a roundup for several hours and after I hit save and publish all of the links are removed. This has happened to me twice now and I’ll never waste my time using this plugin ever again.
