Foodie Pro Genesis Classic Theme

Description

Foodie Pro Classic is the Genesis child theme, without the Feast Plugin. Here's what you should know:

• it includes the Genesis Framework
• it's only suitable only for bloggers in their first year whose sole focus should be writing 100 high quality recipe posts
• the reduced price of $19 reflects the value it offers relative to the Feast Plugin ($249/year)
• it comes with no support (the tutorials have been followed thousands of times, and are complete)

We highly recommend purchasing the Feast Plugin instead of the classic theme, as it contains access to all 5 themes plus modern enhancements, simpler maintenance and updates.

For more information, see the getting started guide.

About Foodie Pro Classic

Praise

"Foodie changed my blog (and I don't even think I've harnessed it's full potential). I've never looked back."

- Tash, akitchencat.com.au

First impressions matter, especially when it comes to websites. You have a fraction of a second to make that first impression, and only 2-3 seconds to grab their attention with stunning food photography. Foodie Pro is here to make your content stand out and keep your visitors engaged.

"The thing I loved most about the Foodie theme is it's practicality, simplicity and ease of showcasing photos without making the blog look crammed. It's helped me 4x my page views simply because the theme is so user-friendly and makes readers want to stay."

- Felicia, dishbydish.net

We know you'll enjoy just how simple this theme is, with best practices built right in so that you don't have to spend hours researching landing pages, conversion rate optimization, configuration settings, etc. Simply install Foodie Pro after Genesis, load in the demo content and start customizing!

Clean. Crisp. Minimal. This is what we hear time and again from our customers. Foodie Pro is designed to be clutter-free, so that your visitors can focus on what's important. Those delicious recipes you spend hours writing, baking, and staging for pictures. This keeps those beautiful pictures at the forefront, engaging your readers.

Your visitors are likely looking up food recipes on their mobile devices - at work, at the grocery store, or standing in front of the fridge at home. Make sure that you're putting your best foot forward with Foodie Pro.

We've listened to your comments and suggestions over the years and have used them to design the most food-blog friendly theme out there. A combination of proper spacing with subtle colors keep the focus on the important stuff - the delicious recipes you're creating, and witty commentary to go along with it. Get your web design out of the forefront, and let your content do the talking.

"Foodie Pro fits so perfectly with what I do. My readers can concentrate on the good stuff without the distraction of a fussy theme. Perfection."

-Kylie, kidgredients.com.au

Updating your food blog theme to Foodie Pro is like going through a kitchen renovation - the end result is something that you could fantasize about but couldn't quite fully picture. Once it's done, everything is new and exciting, and blogging becomes a joy again.

What do I get with my theme purchase?

See this post: What am I paying for?

What if I have more questions? How can I get support?

Support is only available via an active Feast Plugin subscription.

Will this theme work with WooCommerce?

Yes! You can read out WooCommerce setup info here.

Please note that we don't offer integration or support for WooCommerce, and integrating it into a food blog is generally a mistake.

Hosting

You must have a self-hosted WordPress account, such as BigScoots.

This does not work on wordpress.com hosted WordPress.

Recipe card

Any recipe card built into a theme is sub-standard and inadequate. Our theme does not contain a built in recipe card.

Recipe cards contain advanced functionality that require constant developer from a company that specializes in them. We recommend WP Recipe Maker for recipe cards.

Is this theme ADA compliant?

No. The themes were not designed with accessibility in mind. While some features/best practices are implemented by default (eg. an accessibility navigation menu), actual ADA requirements are too fine-grained and specific for an off-the-shelf theme.

Any theme that claims to be ADA compliant is lying.

ADA compliance can not be achieved through a theme, it requires an audit from an accessibility expert and manual implementation of those recommendations.

For more information see our accessibility page.

Features developed through the Feast Plugin are being designed with accessibility in mind, but full compliance remains 100% the site owners responsibility.

Refunds

We don't offer refunds for any reason.

Is this theme pagespeed compatible?

Yes! Our theme is compatible with plugins that specialize in pagespeed optimization. See this post for more details.
