FacetWP - Recipes integration

A recipe site with hundreds of posts is hard to browse. Visitors want dinner ideas that fit their schedule, their diet or the ingredients they have at home, and a plain category list rarely helps. This add-on reads the data stored by supported recipe plugins and turns it into filters that visitors can combine to narrow a long list of dishes.

You set up facets from the WordPress admin, choose how each one looks, and place them on your recipe pages. Results update through AJAX as filters are applied or removed, so the page does not reload. The integration works with page builders such as Elementor, Beaver Builder and Bricks, and developers can extend it through hooks, filters and REST API support.

Features

• Works with two recipe plugins: It connects FacetWP to WP Recipe Maker and Tasty Recipes, so the data saved in your recipes becomes available for filtering without extra mapping work.
• Wide range of recipe data: Build facets from the recipe author, average rating, servings, estimated cost, preparation and cooking times, total time, courses, cuisines, diets and keywords.
• Reload-free results: Recipe listings refresh through AJAX as visitors add or clear filters, which keeps browsing smooth and lets people adjust their search quickly.
• Several facet types: Present filters as checkboxes, dropdowns, sliders, date ranges and other formats, choosing whichever suits each kind of recipe attribute.
• Page builder compatibility: Place FacetWP filters inside pages made with Elementor, Beaver Builder, Bricks and other builders when you design your recipe archives and search pages.
• Responsive and accessible: The filtering interface is designed to work on phones, tablets and desktops, with accessibility support so more visitors can search recipes comfortably.
• Custom taxonomies and metadata: Use your own recipe taxonomies and metadata fields as filter sources when the standard recipe fields do not cover how you organize content.
• Admin setup and developer hooks: Add and label facets in the WordPress admin, then extend behavior with hooks, filters and REST API support if you need custom recipe filtering.
