- [Using the Child Theme](https://docs.cooked.pro/docs/using-child-theme/): A WordPress child theme inherits its functionality from a parent theme. Use a child theme when you want to customize Basil without losing your changes when the parent theme is updated.

- [Recipe Settings](https://docs.cooked.pro/docs/recipe-settings/): 'cooked_single_recipe_settings'This filter is applied when getting all of the settings for a single recipe. If you need to load or set your own here, this is the time to do it.

- [Author Name](https://docs.cooked.pro/docs/author-name/): 'cooked_format_author_name'This filter lets you customize the display of the recipe author’s name throughout the Cooked plugin. Use it to modify, format, or add markup to the author name before it is shown.

That way, it can use that page when searching, redirecting, etc. Create a page with the shortcode on it, then choose that page from the dropdown there.
- [Widgets](https://docs.cooked.pro/docs/widgets/): This widget must be used on a recipe post or it won't display the correct information. Just add it to your sidebar on a recipe post and it will show the nutrition information for you. The following options are available:
- [Other Shortcodes](https://docs.cooked.pro/docs/other-shortcodes/): There are other shortcodes available for use anywhere on your site. For example, you can use the "cooked-timer" shortcode within your recipe to add cooking timers to your directions.
- [Template Shortcodes](https://docs.cooked.pro/docs/template-shortcodes/): There are several shortcodes that are used when creating your recipe templates. You can use a different template for each recipe, or create one you like and then save it as the default by clicking the Save as Default button above the editor window.
- [Elementor Recipe Template](https://docs.cooked.pro/docs/elementor-recipe-template/): Elementor is such a great plugin for building out custom page and post templates, wouldn't it be great if you could use Elementor to create a beautiful and custom recipe template?
