Import a whole cookbook

Preview first, import in batches, safe to run again.

Go to Recipes → Import and upload a Recipe WP import file (.json, or .zip for big books).

  1. Preview the first recipe exactly as it will be saved.
  2. Choose a range (for example #1–100) and whether recipes arrive as drafts, pending or published.
  3. Import. Batches of 25 run with a progress bar, so large books never time out. Recipe WP has been tested with a 2,215-recipe book.

Running the same file again skips recipes already imported, so you can bring in a book in stages. Imported recipes can go straight into a collection with their book numbers.

Other recipe plugins

Importers from other recipe plugins are planned. Ask us which one you use.
