Release 7.0.0 is here, this is what you need to know!

From the moment Really Simple Plugins took over ZIP Recipes from Gezim we have speculated the way forward for ZIP and our clients. And the beginning of a new start is here. We have released 7.0.0 for all users, Free & Premium.

Besides the usual optimizations, we have started with a rework of the recipe cards themselves. We have dropped a overly complicated library for front-end styling to a simpler and elegant combination of HTML and CSS. Now you have full control over endless possibilities to adjust the recipes to your liking. To help you out we have built a new template editor. Curious to see how it works? Check out our video and article about the new template editor.

New styling possibilities

Combining our new template editor and a simpler HTML & CSS structure, anyone can create the recipe cards they desire. If not alone, with some help with the default templates in ZIP, or some help from support.

We encourage anyone to back-up before updating to 7.0.0, it will be worth it. For a sneak peek, check out below screenshots.

F.A.Q.

If your license is activated, you should be able to update from the WordPress plugins dashboard. If this doesn’t work, there’s probably a configuration issue on your server. We’ve listed several of the most common causes.

Sure! Just go to your account, then click “view licenses”, then “view upgrade”. There you have options to pay the additional amount.

The download link you received in the initial e-mail is valid for 24 hours. After the link has expired you can log in to your ZIP Recipes account to download the plugin again. When logged in to your account you will see a section “your purchases”. 

Clicking on the ‘View Details and Downloads’ button will take you to a new page. On this new page scroll down to locate the ‘Products’ section. In the products section you can click on the plugin hyperlink to download the plugin.

To install the plugin, you can follow these instructions on Really Simple SSL

When you purchase one of our plugins an account is created automatically. You can reset your password here

If you don’t remember the email you used for the purchase, or did the purchase before the automatic account creation was activated, please contact us and we’ll set it up for you. 

You can create a new password via the following link: https://ziprecipes.net/wp-login.php?action=lostpassword

When getting a ‘this email is not authorized to renew license’ error, try clearing cookies from your browser. That will likely solve the issue.

If you click the download link after you have purchased a plugin, you should download a zipped file which you can upload to WordPress. If this is not the case, you are probably using Safari. This is easy to fix. Go to:

Safari > Preferences > General > Open “safe” files after downloading: uncheck.
