The first time you activate Scrumptious, a short setup opens. It takes about a minute, and every choice can be changed later.

The five steps

  1. Welcome — what’s next. If recipes from WP Recipe Maker, Tasty Recipes or Create by Mediavine are found, you’ll see how many, with a link to import them.
  2. Look — accent colour and card style (Full, Compact or Minimal). Cards use your theme’s fonts automatically.
  3. Features — what readers can do: star ratings, servings scaling, US/Metric, cook mode, print button, share buttons, Jump to Recipe at the top of posts, and whether each recipe gets its own page. The recommended options are ticked.
  4. AI (optional) — connect OpenRouter in one click, or add a Google, OpenAI or Anthropic key. Skip it if you like; Paste & Parse still works. See Setting up AI.
  5. Done — shortcuts to write a post with a recipe, add a recipe on its own, or import recipes.

Each step has Save and continue and Skip this step. Exit setup leaves at any point; nothing you haven’t saved is changed.

Running it again

Recipes → Setup, or Run setup again at the top of Recipes → Settings.

The wizard opens by itself only once, on a fresh install. It doesn’t open when you update the plugin, or when several plugins are activated at once.
