In the previous posts of this series, we’ve gone through some ways to create a Recipe page using page builders. In today's practice, we're going to find out how to do it with another page builder: Breakdance.

This is the singular page that I created as an example:

Before Getting Started

Each recipe is saved in a post of a custom post type and further information such as time, ingredients and so on will be saved in custom fields. So, we need Meta Box core plugin to have a framework for creating custom post types and custom fields easily. It’s free and you can download it directly from wordpress.org.

For the advanced features from Meta Box, we need some of its extensions:

They’re all in the Meta Box AIO. If you haven’t had it, you can download and install each one individually.

Since this page is built by Breakdance, make sure you have it on your site.

Create a New Custom Post Type

Go to Meta Box > Post Types > Add New.

Create a new post type

After publishing, you will see a new Recipes menu like this in the Admin Dashboard.

Create Custom Fields

Go to Meta Box > Custom Fields. Here are the fields that I created:

Create custom fields

There is a special field that is one for video. Instead of using the URL field to save the video link, I use oEmbed. This field type allows us to display the video preview directly on the frontend.

Use oEmbed field so that video will display on the frontend
After creating all the fields, move to the Settings tabs, choose Location as Post Type and select Recipe to apply these fields to this custom post type.

Set Location for the created custom fields

Then, you can easily see all the created fields in the post editor. Just fill in data into them.

Created fields in the post editor

Create a Template for the Page

Go to Breakdance > Add New to create a new template for the single post page of the recipe.

Create a template for the page

First, add a Section element.

Add a Section element

Since the name of the recipe is the title of the post, add a Post Title element.

Add a post title element

I’ll use some Div tags to divide content into sections and columns as you can see here.

Then, add the Post Featured Image element to display the picture.

The cooking time and others similar are in another column, so I also add another Div element. Adding a Text element inside, then insert dynamic data to it. Choose the corresponding field of the kind of time you want to display from the Metabox section.

Add another Div element

You’ll immediately see the number here. To know which kind of it, you can add a prepend or append text for the element.

The number will be displayed

For others, duplicate the element, then change the connecting field as well as the append text.

Leave this first section with two columns, add a new Div element for the new section. Add a heading for it. For the content that saves in the corresponding custom field, add a Text element, then insert data from that field.

Add a Text element

Do likewise with other sections or just duplicate this Div element. Also change the heading, and the connecting field of the Text element.

Do likewise with other sections

For the Video section, instead of using Text element, I’ll use Video element and connect it with the Video field. There is the preview because I set the custom field in the type of oEmbed. In the case you use any other field type, the URL may display in the kind of text instead of a video preview.

The URL may display like this

We’ve done all the information about the recipe.

All the information has been obtained

Style the Page

Still in the template editor, change the settings of each element to have as your desire. Just customize one by one.

Style the Page

Then you will see the new look of the page.

The final result
