  • Awesome Plug in and the Creator is Very Helpful

    I have been using this plug in for years and years. I recently had a glitch happening and the creator of the plug in was so helpful and kind and was able to help me, fix the glitch and get me up and running again! I recently updated it to the newest version and there have been lots of new features added.

  • Great plugin!

    I use Create for my how-to articles. It works great, and JM is terrific if there are any issues. Always quick to respond, helping explain things that I'm not familiar with.

  • Love this plug in!

    This plug in is great and the support is top notch. I would recommend it to anyone who wants to add recipe or how to cards or lists to their site.

  • Excellent Support

    Excellent support from JM. We needed to import recipes from GetMeCooking (retired in 2020) into Create Recipes but there was no importer for GetMeCooking. Contacted JM and he released an importer a few days later!

  • Excellent Recipe Plugin

    Firstly! I have been a chef for 50 years, and I know recipes and have tried many WP plugins for being able to post and store my recipes in a way that they can be used by other professionals and also beginners, and Create Studio has most certainly met those requirements. I am trialing the Pro version ATM and although I want it I can't afford it right now for a couple of months but I will be getting this Plugin as it meets and ticks every box when it comes to being able to write up an online recipe for others to sue and follow as well as calculate recipe sizes and weight table conversion from metric to pounds.I think the interactive mode is also very well laid out as the fact that you can go back and forth and tick ingredients off as you go is perfect.I know from experience that for a developer to create a perfect recipe card plugin would be extremely difficult, as they are not in the trade so knowing exactly what is expected or required and how to perfectly lay it all out isn't easy and it's only from professional users providing positive feedback and suggesting minor corrections that developers will be able to offer users an amazing plugin, so don't be harsh or insulting if your not happy but instead work with them to help solve any issues before leaving negative feedback as I can personally say that their support compared to many plugins' support I have dealt with in the past and currently is second to none, as they want this to work for you just as much as you want it to work.Disclaimer! I am not endorsed or paid or have any affiliation with this company or its developers, and I have posted this type of review because after having tried so many different recipe plugins out there, this is by far the absolute best one, and seeing it disappear or stop because of so many negative reviews would just be a shame and a major great loss to both the WP community and you recipe creators out there. Work with them instead of against these fine developers. Have a Great all.
