This means that if the plugin is disabled, the recipes themselves will not display on the front end of a blog post. This is typical behavior for most WordPress plugins. If the plugin is deactivated, no data will be deleted and reactivating the plugin will restore the original card display. = Will I be able to add nutritional data? = Yes! Nutritional data is an important part of Schema, which search engines love to have for optimal results. Nutrition facts can be manually entered for a recipe. They will also transfer over if the recipe already contains it. We also provide automatic nutrition calculation through our partnership with [Nutritionix](http://nutritionix.com/). [Learn more about this feature](http://help.mediavine.com/create-by-mediavine/auto-calculate-nutrition-with-create-by-mediavine). = How much does it cost? = Create is free to the blogging community at large. You do not need to be a Mediavine publisher to use it. All core functions of the plugin will always remain free. There may be features in the future that non-Mediavine publishers would need to license for a fee, but the core functionalities will always remain free and supported for everyone — including plugin updates to keep Create in compliance with WordPress releases. == Screenshots == 1.
