About CheerUp Food Blog And Magazine Theme
Your three-year-old recipe is still your best recipe
A food blog does not expire like a newspaper. The sponge cake you published three years ago is made the same way today, but on a chronological home page it is already buried under dozens of posts, and whoever came back for it has to dig to find it.
Anyone publishing recipes is building a cookbook, even if they write it as a blog. That changes what is worth asking of the theme: less novelty on the home page and more paths to what is already written, such as blocks by type of dish, a recipe index and a card the reader can follow or print while cooking.
CheerUp is a blog and magazine theme from ThemeSphere that covers that visual side. It brings a food demo, a recipe index and its own styling for WP Recipe Maker cards, plus demos for other topics.
How the Food demo is organized
The food demo is the best reference for what can be built, because its home page is already planned as a cookbook:
- Featured recipes in their own block on the home page.
- Blocks by category, with desserts and main dishes, previous and next controls and links to subcategories.
- Recipe index in the main menu, with two example pages.
- Personal sidebar, with an introduction, social links, category image buttons, a newsletter and a list of favorite posts.
Fourteen demos and more than a thousand layout combinations
- 14 demos included, among them Food, Travel, Fashion, Beauty, Fitness, Magazine and one for parents.
- More than 17 featured sliders and more than 10 headers, with the menu above or below the logo, centered, or the logo beside an ad.
- Home pages in several layouts: assorted, standard, list, grid, overlay and full width.
- Six post styles: dynamic, classic, creative, magazine, full width and cover.
- Magazine-style home page builder with WPBakery blocks, and its own styling for the block editor.
- Shop with WooCommerce, for physical or digital products, with its own design.
- Google AMP for branded articles, and recipe cards with print and AMP support.
- Compatible with Yoast SEO, Contact Form 7, MailChimp, Jetpack galleries and WPML.
The recipe card comes from another plugin
This is the point to be clear on before choosing it. CheerUp styles the cards, but WP Recipe Maker creates them, and that is a separate plugin. The ingredients and steps live there, and that plugin is what adds the recipe JSON-LD metadata and the print page. CheerUp's features do not include a recipe card of its own.
Nor does it solve the business side of the blog. Ads are placed as banners in several areas and with widgets, but you have to supply the ad or the ad network. The newsletter relies on MailChimp, and shop products depend on WooCommerce.
From installed theme to first published recipe
CheerUp relies on plugins according to what you will build: WP Recipe Maker for recipes, WPBakery for the home page builder and WooCommerce for the shop. A reasonable order to start:
- Install CheerUp and start from the Food demo.
- Add WP Recipe Maker and publish one complete test recipe.
- Define categories by type of dish before migrating the archive, because the home page blocks come from them.
- Build the recipe index and keep it in the main menu.
- Open the recipe on a phone and print it, which is how someone cooking uses it.
Foodica, Soledad and the recipe plugins
Foodica is a theme for food blogs with recipe index templates, and its cards come from another plugin, Recipe Card Blocks. Soledad goes the other way: it is a media theme with its own builders, and recipes are one more of its formats.
To complete CheerUp, WP Recipe Maker Premium adds ingredient links, adjustable servings and checkboxes for ingredients and steps. If Pinterest sends you visits, Tasty Pins separates the alt text from the pin description.
How CheerUp handles recipes and languages
Does it work if I do not publish recipes?
Yes. Food is one of its 14 demos, and the others cover travel, fashion, beauty, fitness or magazine.
Do I need WP Recipe Maker?
For recipe cards with CheerUp styling, yes, because those cards come from that plugin.
Can I translate the blog?
It is compatible with WPML, and with that plugin it can be translated into other languages.
