With WP Food Manager, it is simple to add your first food using shortcodes. In this guide, you will learn about the entire process of adding a food to your website.

Adding your first food using the frontend food submission form

WP Food Manager gives restaurant owners the freedom to add foods independently from the frontend using the food Submission form. The food submission form is the form that  needs to be filled in with all the necessary food details while adding a food.

Page setup

To display the food Submission form, users need to create a new page from the pages menu at the Admin Panel. Here, the shortcode  [add_food] needs to be added.

Setting up pages:

Follow the below mentioned steps to create a new page:

  1. WP Admin >> Pages >> New Page.
  2. Add a suitable title to it which is related to the submitted food.
  3. Paste the shortcode: [add_food]

    4. Page Setup Add Food

The best way to insert the shortcode is to paste it in the text view of the WordPress visual Editor to ensure it gets formatted correctly.

Food Submission steps to add your first food

The food submission process covers the following steps:

  • Account creation. 
  • Filling up the form with food details. 
  • Previewing the food created.

Account creation

The first step that you need to take to create an account is to sign up on the frontend.

  • If the user is logged in, the form row data shows “Your account: You are currently signed in as (your username). Sign out”.
  • If the user is logged out, creating accounts is not mandatory, and “Allow account creation” is disabled this shows a sign-in link.

Food Form Detail

After the account section, you will be redirected to the food Submission form in which you need to fill in the details of your food.

The food Fields in the food Submission form covers the following:

  • Food Title.

  • Food Category.
  • Food Ingredient.
  • Food Nutrition.
  • Food Tag.
  • Food Banner.
  • Food Description.
  • Regular Price
  • Sale Price
  • Stock Status

Note: You need to keep in mind that food Thumbnail and food Banner are two different things. If a user uploads a food banner, he will be able to see the changes he made in the banner only. Similarly if a user makes any changes to the food thumbnail, the change will only be visible on the food thumbnail on the food listing page.

Preview of your first food

The preview page gives an idea to the users about the appearance of their first food on the website.

It displays the food details that have been submitted in the style of a single food listing. At this stage, the user can make changes to the specified details of the food listing through the Edit option or simply click on the Submit option to submit the food for approval.
