Hi folks, this post is short and sweet, but I thought it might be a good time to officially announce a WordPress plugin which I’d been working on which I unleashed released at the beginning of this month.
Simply put, it’s a conversion widget, allowing you to easily convert different ingredients between grams, cups, millilitres, and ounces. Some of you might have noticed it in my sidebar to the right of this post already. As different ingredients all have different densities, there is no “standard” conversion between volume (such as cups) and weight (such as grams). As such, each one needs to be manually added, and so if any of you have any feedback on ingredients I could add, or other ways I could generally improve the plugin, please do let me know!
You can check out my official “Simple Converter” page here and you can also find the plugin from the official WordPress plugins repository:
[button link=”http://wordpress.org/plugins/simple-convertor/” type=”icon” color=”silver” icon=”notice” newwindow=”yes”] Click here to view the plugin in the WordPress repository[/button]
As always, if you like the plugin, don’t forget to rate it!

You could get the plugin working on Blogger, although you’d need to make a couple of modifications. Let me know if you wanted to try it!
You are a clever stick! Thats brilliant Charles. I am super impressed 🙂
Thanks Anneli… thought it was about time someone made one, since such a thing didn’t seem to exist before 🙂
What a useful plugin, Charles! Thanks for sharing!
Cheers Laura 🙂
What a great plugin Charles! I’m guessing it doesn’t work on free Wordpress hosted sites, correct?
Hi Betsy – you could get it working on the free sites, absolutely, although it would require a bit of manipulation. Let me know if you were interested in setting it up – I could send you instructions!
yeah this is going to come super handy on my blog! I was looking for such a widget after some readers had asked me to covert grams to cups. Of course I have no clue what a cup is, so your widget is just brilliant Charles. Thank you, love it!
Thanks Helene – I hope it comes in handy, and do let me know if you can think of any ingredients I can add!
That’s one handy lil widget!! I will surely add it. Congrats for getting your own widget!
Thanks Minnie! Let me know if you can think of any ingredients I should add!
Congratulations for this plugin again, Charles! I am a very proud user 🙂 It’s a real jewel for food bloggers and cooks all around the world. I strongly recommend to everyone!
Thank you so much for your kind words Sissi, and your help in testing it for me 🙂
It sounds very useful.
Thanks Marta 🙂
Thank you Charles! We just installed on our side bar. 😀 With this, I can refer readers to this helpful widget instead of answering each one of their question! 🙂 Thank you for the great tool and make it available for us!
Thank you so much Nami – if you can think of any ingredients I could add, do please let me know! I hope I can improve it more with peoples’ feedback!

Thank you Nazneen – do let me know if you have any suggestions for it!
How much do you rock Charles! Just when I think you can’t surprise me any more with your programming wizardry… 🙂 This is a hugely useful plug-in too.
Thanks Kristy – if you can think of any ingredients which I might have missed out do be sure to send them my way! 🙂
this is SO cool Charles! I’m constantly going back and forth from my site to google. I will definitely be checking this out! And you know that the new picture of you and William is THE BEST!!! The first thing I did when your page opened was smile, because I saw that picture! 🙂
Thanks MJ, and glad the updated pic could bring a smile to your face 🙂
Oh you are so clever!
I can’t imagine being able to do something so nifty 🙂
Congratulations!
Thanks GG – I hope you’ll be able to find it useful at some point 🙂
It has always been a hassle for me to convert from the Metric system to the US measuring system of ounces/pounds especially while trying out my Mother’s recipes. I’ve come to realize how much it matters to use precise measures while baking cakes or breads-so you’ve saved me a lot of pain with this brilliant Wordpress plugin!! Thanks
Thanks Malli – I hope you’ll find it useful! If you have any ideas on how I could improve it, don’t hesitate to let me know 🙂
