Ingredient Singular and Plural

Through the WP Recipe Maker > Manage > Recipe Fields > Ingredients page you can define the plural of a specific ingredient. By doing that, the appropriate version will be used automatically when using the Adjustable Servings or Shopping List feature, for example.

This also means that only the singular version shows up in the grid and can show both recipes using “lime” and “limes”. Further more, you’ll only have to define Ingredient Links once.

In the example below the last ingredient in the list is “lime”, which has a plural set. Try clicking on “2x” to see the ingredient automatically use the correct form:

Units can have singular and plural forms too

Ingredient units can have their own explicitly configured forms, such as “glass” and “glasses”. Try 2x below to see both the ingredient name and its unit adjust. Units without configured forms keep the spelling and capitalization you entered.

Set unit forms on WP Recipe Maker → Manage → Recipe Fields → Ingredient Units.
