Recipes

Recipe pages on marketofchoice.com use a custom post type (recipe) with ACF fields for structured content. The Fusion Builder post_content field is empty — all content lives in ACF fields, and the recipe template auto-generates the page layout from them.

ACF Fields

Field	Type	Purpose
`recipe_copy`	wysiwyg	Intro paragraph + serves/difficulty metadata
`ingredients`	wysiwyg	Ingredient list (use `<ul>` markup)
`steps`	wysiwyg	Numbered steps (use `<ol>` markup)
`recipe_video_question`	radio	Yes/No — toggles video field visibility
`recipe_video`	textarea	Video embed HTML (YouTube iframe or custom)
`subhed`	text	Always set to "Recipe"
`grid_link`	textarea	Always set to "Get the recipe"

Creating a New Recipe

Create the post

Navigate to Recipes > Add New in WP admin. Set the title and excerpt.

Fill in recipe_copy

Write an intro paragraph, then add the metadata block:

<p>Description paragraph...</p>
<p><strong>Serves:</strong> 5<br>
<strong>Difficulty:</strong> Easy<br>
<strong>Prep Time:</strong> 10 minutes<br>
<strong>Cook Time:</strong> 45 minutes<br>
<strong>Allergens:</strong> dairy, wheat</p>

Omit the Allergens line if none apply.

Fill in ingredients and steps

Ingredients: Use <ul> list markup
Steps: Use <ol> list markup

Set the static fields

subhed → "Recipe"
grid_link → "Get the recipe"

Add video (if applicable)

Set recipe_video_question to Yes, then paste the embed HTML in recipe_video.

Recipe pages don't have native video template support. To include a video inline with the intro text, embed it in the recipe_copy field floated right:

<div style="float: right; width: 200px; margin: 0 0 15px 20px;">
<video controls playsinline preload="metadata"
  poster="POSTER_URL" width="200" height="356"
  style="border-radius: 8px;">
<source src="VIDEO_URL" type="video/mp4">
</video>
</div>

Adjust dimensions to match the video's aspect ratio.

Set categories and image

Check all applicable recipe_category boxes
Upload and set the featured image: 1200x925px (48:37 aspect ratio), cropped tight on the dish
Set alt text and title on the uploaded image
HEIC files from iPhone need conversion to JPG first

SEO and publish

Set Yoast meta description to %%excerpt%%
Add tags for the "related posts" feature to work properly
Save draft, preview, then publish

Notes

REST API returns empty content for recipe posts — ACF fields aren't exposed via the API
Content must be set via admin UI or TinyMCE editors in ACF fields
Fusion Builder is active but post_content is unused
The recipe template auto-generates the layout from ACF fields
PDF recipe downloads are auto-generated — no manual creation needed
Missing metadata (Serves, Difficulty, Prep Time, Cook Time) should be called out to Emma when the content request doesn't include them
Video content from Dropbox links needs to be downloaded and uploaded to the media library
