From a blank install to your first recipe published, in roughly the time it takes to brew a pot of coffee.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
This guide assumes you’ve already installed the theme and Pro plugin<\/a> and activated your license. Now we’ll get your site looking like a real food blog instead of an empty WordPress install.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Navigate to Appearance \u2192 Demo Importer<\/strong>. You’ll see a single button: Import Demo Content<\/em>. Click it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n In about ten seconds, the importer creates:<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n Safe to re-run:<\/strong> The importer is idempotent. It skips anything that already exists, so running it a second time won’t duplicate posts or categories.<\/p><\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n Create a new post (Posts \u2192 Add New<\/strong>). Give it a title, optionally write an introduction paragraph or two, and then look in the block inserter for the Recipe Card<\/strong> block (it’s under the “Food Recipes” category, or just type “\/recipe” to search for it).<\/p>\n\n\n\n Fill in the recipe details in the sidebar:<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n Set a featured image (used on the homepage cards), assign a category, and publish. That’s a complete, Schema-marked-up recipe post.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Go to Appearance \u2192 Customize \u2192 Homepage<\/strong>. The Pro plugin adds a Layout Style<\/em> dropdown with five options:<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n Try each one \u2014 switching is instant, and you can preview before saving. The Customizer section Homepage Layouts<\/a> covers each in detail.<\/p>\n\n\n\n From here, the most common next stops are: deeper into the Recipe Card Block<\/a> (ratings, print, custom fields), changing the accent color and fonts<\/a>, or setting up Dark Mode<\/a> for your readers.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" From a blank install to your first recipe published, in roughly the time it takes to brew a pot of coffee.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[2],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-5","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-getting-started"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/docs.fasterthemes.com\/food-recipes-wordpress-theme\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/5","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/docs.fasterthemes.com\/food-recipes-wordpress-theme\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/docs.fasterthemes.com\/food-recipes-wordpress-theme\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/docs.fasterthemes.com\/food-recipes-wordpress-theme\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/docs.fasterthemes.com\/food-recipes-wordpress-theme\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=5"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/docs.fasterthemes.com\/food-recipes-wordpress-theme\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/5\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/docs.fasterthemes.com\/food-recipes-wordpress-theme\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=5"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/docs.fasterthemes.com\/food-recipes-wordpress-theme\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=5"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/docs.fasterthemes.com\/food-recipes-wordpress-theme\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=5"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}Run the demo importer<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
