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.

Installation FAQs
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.
