FAQ

How do I create a restaurant menu?

Click on Rest. Menus in your WordPress admin sidebar. Click on Add New to create your first entry and save the post.

You will see a window inside the post editor with two buttons, one to insert new Menu Items, and the other to add Section Headers.

Add the items you want and provide them with a title, picture, description, sizes and prices. Each item has three icons on the right: to hide in the front, to edit the item and to delete the item.

Group your items inserting Section headers, eg. Starters, Lunch, Dinner, Breakfast, Desserts, etc.

How do I display the menu on my website?

After saving your menu post create a new Page. Simply click on Pages -> Add New in your WordPress admin sidebar. Give your new page a title, for example, The Menu.

To display your menu in a simple list, use the shortcode with the id of the menu. You will find the shortcode in the table list of menus or inside the menu editor.

[erm_menu id=123]

How do I create a variable menu?

Click on Rest. Menus Week in your WordPress admin sidebar. Click on Add New to create your first entry and save the post.

Add different schedules and assign a menu to each one.

Reorder the schedules with drag and drop.

Insert the shortcode in some page/post.

The page will display the menu that satisfies the first schedule rule. If no rule is satisfied then no menu will be displayed.

You can create rules for different days and for different hours.

How do I manage currency character?

You don’t need to insert the currency on each price. Just go to Rest. Menus -> Settings, insert your currency and in with position you want it to display: before or after the price.

How do I add custom CSS?

You can customize your template in the front end. Go to Rest. Menus -> Settings, insert your CSS and check Insert Custom CSS.

How do I edit Menu Items?

The plugin uses two types of custom posts, one for Menus and other for Menu Items. You can edit your Menu Item from inside de Menu Editor, but you can also edit it from the Menu Item post editor.

The Rest. Menu Items menu is hidden in your admin sidebar, but you can show it from the settings. Go to Rest. Menus -> Settings to unhide it.

Now you will see a new Rest. Menu Items menu in your admin sidebar. You can also edit you Menu Item from here, but you need to add your new items from the Menu Editor.

I get why they stopped with this plugin.. Simple things such as changing a font are not an option, removig menu items in 1 menu makes them dissappear in any other menu with the same items as well.. Images are blurry no matter how high the resolution is.. I can go on..

A good plugin that do its job. Free version installed and used with WP 5.5.1 and Enfold-child theme (Enfold 4.7.6.1) under php 7.3 (hosting with SSL and Wordfence plugin installed) No issues or bugs found for now. Don't know if Pro version works as well as Free. πŸ˜‰

This plugin keeps deleting content from itself as well as all my media library thumbnails and events from an event calendar. I tried to get support but had zero response, and here I am a week later dealing with my content deleting because I add a new menu item.

I want to say that this module is perfect for displaying restaurant menus in an elegant, nice and easy way. Super easy to add menus and dishes, and also very easy to style look the way you want with a little basic CSS knowledge. πŸ™‚ I really love this plugin, and are already using it on three of my customers websites! <3 Loveley!

Hello. I would like to express my thanks for this great and easy-to-use plugin. I installed the free version on 16 Oct and everything worked well. When I tried to add menu today, I realized that the 'Menu Items' section is missing from the page and I am unable to add any more items. I am using Wordpress Version 4.9.8. Any help will be appreciated.
