Description
EasyContentFlow Recipe Schema automatically analyzes your blog posts and detects which ones contain recipes. For each detected recipe, the plugin extracts structured data (ingredients, steps, prep time, etc.) and injects Schema.org Recipe JSON-LD markup into the page head.
Features
- Automatic detection: Distinguishes recipes from other post types (guides, reviews, etc.)
- Smart extraction: Uses Anthropic’s Claude AI to extract ingredients, steps, cooking times, and more
- Batch processing: Process hundreds of posts in a single click
- JSON-LD Schema: Automatic injection of Schema.org compliant structured data
- Built-in dashboard: Real-time statistics and processing log
- Meta box: View and regenerate the schema on a per-post basis
- Encrypted API key: Secure storage of your Anthropic API key
- Model selection: Choose between Sonnet (recommended) or Haiku (faster)
Requirements
- An Anthropic API key (available at console.anthropic.com)
- PHP 7.4 or higher
- WordPress 5.8 or higher
External services
This plugin relies on the Anthropic API to analyze your blog posts and extract structured recipe data using AI (Claude).
When you trigger a schema generation (manually or in batch), the plugin sends the post title and content (truncated to 6000 characters) to the Anthropic API endpoint at https://api.anthropic.com/v1/messages. No user data, personal information, or visitor data is ever sent — only your post content.
Data is sent only when you explicitly click “Generate” or “Start batch processing” in the WordPress admin. It is never sent automatically on page load or to site visitors.
This service is provided by Anthropic, PBC.
Installation
- Download and upload the plugin via Plugins > Add New > Upload Plugin

Advanced Configuration
For added security, you can define your API key directly in wp-config.php:

FAQ
-
How much does it cost per post?
-
Approximately $0.01 per post with Claude Sonnet, or about $4-5 for 400 posts.
-
Does the plugin modify my posts?
-
No. The plugin stores data in post_meta and injects JSON-LD in the head. No post content is modified.
-
What happens if I deactivate the plugin?
-
The schemas are no longer injected but the data remains in the database. Reactivate the plugin and everything comes back.
-
What happens if I delete the plugin?
-
All plugin data is cleanly removed (post_meta and options).
-
Is the plugin compatible with Yoast / Rank Math / SEOpress?
-
Yes. The plugin injects its own JSON-LD independently of other SEO plugins. Just make sure you don’t have duplicate Recipe schemas.
