WordPress sync

If you publish recipes on a WordPress site using WP Recipe Maker or Tasty Recipes, dough can sync those recipes into your library automatically.

Setting up WordPress sync

1. Go to Settings > WordPress.
2. Enter your WordPress site URL.
3. Create a WordPress Application Password:
   • In your WordPress admin, go to Users > Profile.
   • Scroll to Application Passwords.
   • Enter a name (like “dough”) and click Add New Application Password.
   • Copy the generated password.
4. Paste the application password into dough.
5. Click Connect. dough tests the connection and detects your recipe plugin.

Note

dough supports WP Recipe Maker and Tasty Recipes. If you use a different recipe plugin, WordPress sync is not available — use URL import instead.

How sync works

• New recipes on your WordPress site are imported as Drafts in dough.
• Updated recipes are refreshed in dough — ingredients, instructions, and timing are updated. Your edits to the title, description, notes, and photos in dough are preserved.
• Deleted recipes on WordPress are flagged in dough for your review, not automatically deleted.

Sync runs on demand (click Sync Now in Settings) or automatically every 24 hours.

Caution

If your WordPress Application Password stops working (for example, after a password reset), dough will flag the sync as failed and prompt you to regenerate the password.
