READY TO GET STARTED?

Install Spillt Mobile App and Create Account (estimated time: 2 minutes)

If you’ve already installed Spillt and have an account, you can skip this step!

Please note: we require you to use your mobile phone number to create an account. The plugin can only use phone number for account syncing at this moment.

Install WordPress Plugin (estimated time: 10 minutes)

Right now, the WordPress plugin is only available for bloggers using WordPress and the WP Recipe Maker, Tasty, or Create by Mediavine recipe cards. If that isn’t you, please sign up for updates (and install Spillt!) so that you know when we can offer it to more users.

1. Set up your Creator Profile

Install the Spillt WordPress Plugin

  • Go here or search “Spillt” in your WordPress plugin dashboard.

Sync Your Recipes

  • These recipes will now show up in your Creator profile, organized by the taxonomy you choose

Installation FAQs

I'm getting an error that says "No user found for that phone number"

Make sure that you have signed up for a Spillt account using your phone number. Unfortunately, we do not support Apple login or Google login from the WordPress plugin at this time.

You can sign up for a Spillt account using either the mobile app on iOS or Android, or by going to https://app.spillt.co.

I synced all my recipes but some of them still have X's next to them.

There are a few common reasons why a recipe won’t sync:

  • The recipe doesn’t have a parent post
  • The post is a duplicate (for example, a Google web story post)
  • It is part of a roundup post with multiple recipes included

I should have more recipes than what are showing up as available to sync.

Drafts and non-recipe posts (such as giveaways, or posts about other topics) won’t show up in Spillt.

Do I have to organize my recipes into collections on my Spillt profile?

 The recipes will automatically categorize themselves into collections based on the categories that you’ve already selected on WordPress.

Can I modify which collections are used for each recipe?

 If you use something other than Categories for organizing your recipes on WordPress, you can select a different taxonomy when you authorize the plugin. We do not currently support editing individual recipes or categories at this time, however.
