I spent much of the day on Monday completely rewriting the Recipe Share plugin to make it easier to manage and more efficient. With this rewrite I decided to change the name to Recipe Press to fit in with a new naming scheme for future plugins I am working on. Version 0.7 was released yesterday that added a couple of new features, but was more a release to provide cleaner code and more options for the future. Unfortunately the change also resulted in renamed database tables as the old naming convention interfered with another plugin.
Migrating from Recipe Share to Recipe Press
I have not created a script to migrate recipes and categories from the old plugin to this new plugin, however, the table schema is the same. If you wish to migrate your recipes you will need to access your database and rename the tables or copy the contents into the new tables. Most hosting providers offer access to your database through a program such as PHPMyAdmin.
- wp_recipes becomes wp_rp_recipes
- wp_recipes_cats becomes wp_rp_categories
- wp_rp_options is a new table that you will not need to migrate.
The prefix for your tables may not be wp_ based on your installation of Wordpress. If it is different, as would be the case in Wordpress MU installations, make sure to retain the same prefix as the old file, just change the parts after the _ character.
What the future holds
I am still not working but need to find a full time job to pay the bills, unless enough donations come in, so I am only able to work when I am not on the job hunt or working on small projects for individuals. The current plan for feature additions include, in this order:
- User comments
- Recipe photos
- User contributed modifications
- User contributed photos
- Recipe search function, possibly integrated into Wordpress search.
- RSS Feeds for recipes, likely NOT integrated into Wordpress RSS functions.
- More thoughts?
Keep watching for more updates, but with the holidays coming, the releases will be few and far between – unless someone gives me reason to work harder on this.

Hi, thanks for the opportunity, to address some concerns. I truly would like to get behind your development efforts however since I have been trying to work with the recipe-press , before that recipe-share , I had it working for about all of 4 days and than something blew up the submit form for the recipes., and it seems that there was some kind of conflict between mystat plugin and recipe-press plugin as on the form itself it Recipe Press showed this code from mystat,now I will also mention that
this occurred after 2 comments on the site.

Strange huh? any help would be appreciated as my site is just starting to take off and getting noticed. thanks m and i pray you find full time employment, try a call center for cust service in your city, at least that will help to cover the bills. I do some programming myself, I work for cust service,Merry Christmas
I would prefer to address issues like this in the support form for the plugin rather than through these comments. Thank you.
