Update Without Reinstalling

The Feast Plugin will make updating your theme simpler, by providing theme-replacement functionality that can be kept up-to-date without having to reinstall your theme.

Save Plugin Customizations

Customizations done with the plugin settings are saved between theme changes and plugin updates.

Unlock Next-Gen Features

We're building out next-generation features that are compatible with the block editor.

All new features will be built into the plugin moving forward, instead of the themes, so that we can update them as necessary over time.

Bonus

For a limited time, subscribing to the Feast Plugin grants you access to all 5 Feast Design Co. themes, including:

Foodie Pro v.4.4.0
Brunch Pro v.4.4.0
Cook'd Pro v.4.4.0
Seasoned Pro v.4.4.0
Cravings Pro v.4.4.0

Here's what you should know

The plugin lives alongside your current theme and enhances it, it does not replace the theme
Theme updates are still required for certain issues, but we've been able to deliver approximately 90% of updates via the plugin, instead of requiring a theme update
We expect to replace 99% of the theme functionality with updated versions by end of 2020

Normally priced at $199/year for the plugin and access to themes, we're offering an early subscriber price of $99/year including the plugin and all themes. You can cancel the subscription at any time to avoid being re-billed.

2020 And Beyond

2019 was the year of user-experience (UX), shifting the focus to making sure your blog is optimized for the user-experience of your visitors.

2020 is the year of focus (20/20), streamlining settings and layouts so that your blog stays hyper-focused on what's important: creating high quality recipes.

The Feast plugin makes complying with these changes simple, with options for:

Toggle: Navigation Before / After Header
Toggle: Previous + Next on Posts
Edit Post Info
Disclosures shortcodes
Category Featured Images
Word Count + Reading Time shortcodes
Mobile Browser Color
Pagespeed-friendly Retina Logo
Add Yoast Breadcrumbs
Configurations audit (in development)
Remove link from comment dates
Remove the “website” field from the comments form
Remove "website" link from existing comments
From entry-meta from post footer
Modern Mobile Menu
Customize the "Leave a Reply" text
Simple Category Index
Edit Body Font Size
Block Editor Styling
Advanced "Jump To" Links
Modern Thumbnail Sizes
Modern Post Image Sizes
Modern Homepage
Disable Social Pug pinning on non-post pages

The navbar for the modern mobile menu drastically improves above-the-fold content being displayed, improving pagespeed scores.

This is a more user-friendly experience.

Feast Simple Recipe Index Block

The FSRI block allows you to build the Modern Homepage or Modern Recipe Index using the block editor instead of widgets.

This provides much more flexibility in how to design and layout your key pages, and let's you fill them with more unique content, increasing the quality.

Feast Simple Category Index Block

The FSCI block leverages the Simple Category Index to visually display categories.

This helps to:

improve site structure and reducing the click depth of categories and posts
visually see how your page looks in the editor as well as the front end

Additional Styling

We've added styling classes, making customizing your blog easier than ever. Included are:

feast-round-image: make your images a circle
feast-vibrant: make your images brighter and more colorful
feast-vibrant-2x: even brighter and more colorful!
feast-greyscale: turn images an edgy monochrome color, and restore the color on hover
feast-chat-bubble: make images and content distinctive with a chat bubble layout

Note that these styling classes affect the display of images on your blog's front-end, not the back-end, and they don't actually modify the image. If someone downloads or pins your images, the original file will be used. These do not create additional versions of your image on your host.

Configuration Audit (in development)

Have you followed the hundreds of updates and articles put out by Google, Yoast, WP Rocket, WordPress, Genesis and Feast over the years? If not, your blog settings may be holding you back.

The configuration audit checks your settings against current best practices, which are regularly reviewed and updated here at Feast, and notifies you when your settings should be updated.

FAQ

We'll answer questions as they arise via the Feast Plugin FAQ.

Features and functionality may change as they're developed. Some statements are forward-looking plans, and not guaranteed to be implemented or maintained long-term.

The plugin is developed under the "release early, release often" software philosophy. This enables us to quickly release a new feature, and iterate on it over time based on requests.
