Eatery - Responsive Restaurant WordPress Theme

Hi pumin, thanks for choosing the Eatery theme. I believe I’ve found a quick approach to adding this manually. It’s not guaranteed to work for you but perhaps worth a try. Please message us via our Author Profile here (http://themeforest.net/user/Themovation) – Cheers!

Hi bigfootweblabs! Thanks for contacting us.

Yes we can help you enable comments menu items. There are several plugins to help you enable social sharing and facebook comments. I found a plugin that looks legit (http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/facebook-comments-plugin/)

Yes for the header image as well. It’s not built-in but the background image is displayed within a CSS ID selector, so a jquery script that changes background images would work nicely. Here is a working example on jsfiddle.net (http://jsfiddle.net/ZnAqE/1/). You’ll need some scripting knowledge but you can also ask us to consult with you if it turns out to be outside of your comfort level.

I hope this was helpful. Cheers!

great! Just purchased! I’ll be in touch as I dont understand how the header images work. I’d like to use one big long header image or maybe just two. When i try two, it repeats them, I thought it would just join them without repeating them over & over. What dimensions should I be using for 1 image (to occupy the whole header) or 2 images (one wide image to take up 2/3 of the header and one to take up 1/3 of the remaining header)?

That’s great Basically the header images are resized to a 340px height, stitched together to make one image, and then repeated. So if you want 2 images to fill the whole screen then you’d want to upload images already sized to 340px height with the width you want. The images in the theme preview are about 800px in width. If you want one image to fill the whole width of the screen, it would depend on what screen resolution you want to target. The key thing is to resize the height ahead of time and then you’ll know exactly how wide it will appear. Let us know if you need any more clarity on this. Cheers!

Thank you If you want to show only the excerpt on a blog post, then you can use the WordPress more tag which you can add using the button in the content toolbar, next to the spellcheck icon. Other aspects of the template such as tags, categories, and date can be either removed from the template file, or hidden via CSS. It sounds like something is not quite right though? Feel free to send us a message through our author profile page with a link so I can see what you mean. Cheers!

Hey guys, I’m sending the message to your profile with the link.. Hope you can help that I need to fix this asap.. Thanks!!

Sure thing, I sent you an email!

Hello webchyk , thank you for contacting us. The Eatery theme as been very successful in working with other plugins and frameworks. There are no known issues so I believe this will work well for you. Apart from downloading and testing s2member and jigoshop there is no way to be 100% certain but we have made sure to leave the default WordPress functionality in tact so as not to disturb any built-in functionality. This makes it compatible with plugins and frameworks.

We are very conscience of support and aim to provide excellent service to everyone. You will be in good hands.

If you have any other questions please let us know.

Thank you so very much…you’ve sold me. I’ll be purchasing shortly.

That sounds great. We are happy that we were able to help.

Hi kpittman, Thanks for purchasing! Basically the header images are resized to a 340px height, stitched together to make one image, and then repeated. So if you want 2 images to fill the whole screen then you’d want to upload images already sized to 340px height with the width you want. Let us know if you need any more clarity on this. Cheers!

Thanks, that worked great! I appreciate the quick response!

You’re very welcome

Hello pantone204, thanks for contacting us. I like the name. When you uploaded the replacement image did you check the box next to the label that reads ’”Auto crop and sew on save”? Eatery will uncheck this each time a header image is uploaded to save on server resources.

I hope this helps you. Please let us know if you have any more questions.

Best regards!

Yes, you can have a gallery on your site. We made use of the default WordPress gallery shortcode, and you can see an example on the theme demo: http://bit.ly/Z0mnRA

Hi j_arendall, thanks for your interest. Here is the link http://jsfiddle.net/ZnAqE/1/ – Cheers!

Hello alexayala, thanks for your contacting us and for keeping your website updated.

If this is a WordPress Core update then you should back up and proceed with an Auto Update as explained here http://bit.ly/12Ug8Yb

If this is a Eatery Theme Update, you can ensure that your settings and modifications are retained by using a Child Theme, as explained in our documentation here http://bit.ly/YcpLg5

You can also use a Free program called WinMerge http://bit.ly/12UfHgz to compare the new vs old files / folders. This program allows you to quickly see what has changed.

If you have created a Child Theme chances are very good that nothing will be effected by upgraded the Theme. If you have been making changes directly to the parent Eatery Theme without a Child Theme then I would recommend you use WinMerge to compare files or whole folders.

It’s highly recommend that you backup your database and php files before performing any updates.

I hope this has been helpful.

Hi barbaraevans, it’s hard to say without seeing it. The easiest way would be for me to login and have a look. If you send us a message through our author profile page with your WordPress admin login, then I’m sure we can get it resolved. Cheers!

Hi, thanks. Could you please tell me how to sign in through the author profile page. I have looked and tried to be resourceful but I can’t seem to find it.

Sure thing, here’s a link to our profile page: http://bit.ly/11LFXDr – just scroll to the bottom and on the right you’ll see a form where you can send us an email. Cheers!

#sidebar-menu li ul {background-color:#181818 !important;}

Hi ikerboy, thank you the theme supports any and all currency symbols, as well as 12 or 24 hour time on the reservation form, but we have not yet added full translation to the theme. It will be coming in one of the next updates, but there isn’t a firm date yet.

You can choose to display images or not on the food menu, and if you want to disable the lightbox it would require changing a file, but would be very simple.

The reservation form change is also possible but would require a little more involved editing of code. Otherwise if you want to change or add form fields, you may be better off making use of a form plugin. Our personal favorite is Gravity Forms (http://bit.ly/gqa9N) which is a premium plugin but there are some excellent free ones as well. Formidable (http://bit.ly/bF8dc4) has a free Lite version. Both those plugins include drag and drop menu building which makes it very straight forward.

Hope that helps! Cheers.

You could also have one page with two different headings Menu #1 then Menu #2. It really comes down to how you want to lay it out. I hope this has been helpful. Cheers.

How about the Menu’s headings (starters, main courses, deserts,,,etc)?

Hi andyclear! Thanks for contacting us. We would love to help you. Can you please message us through our author profile page (http://bit.ly/10b51CH) and send us a link to your website?

We’ll make sure to answer your questions asap.

She just sent me the template part zipped, not any of the other folders.

Awesome, thank you!

Hi pantone204, the best option for this would be adding the price to the description or excerpt. This would allow you to place the secondary price below the main description. I think this would give you the results you are looking for. I hope this has been helpful. Remember you can use some html in the excerpt, e.g.

<br />

Hi siqve006, try adding this to the custom CSS under theme options and play around with the colors to suit your style.

h1 a:hover, h2 a:hover, h3 a:hover, h4 a:hover, h5 a:hover, h6 a:hover, p a:hover, #older-posts a:hover, #newer-posts a:hover
{
  background-color: #1d1d1d;
  color: #ffffff;
}

that did it! thanks.

body.home h1.page-title, body.home hr.headings {display:none;}

Alternatively, you could title the page something other than “home” which would change the title to that, and then you could edit the navigation link so that it still says home on the nav. Using the WordPress menu system you can rename any link to anything you like, and it will only affect the menu. You just have to go to the menu screen and click the down arrow on the link you want to change, and the label field appears. Cheers!

Hi siqve006, email links require a prefix so that the browser knows it’s an email rather than a URL. You just need to format it like this instead: mailto:myemail@mydomain.com

great. How would I link the phone icon then?

Hi siqve006, it’s designed so you can add a link to your contact page. So you would enter http://yourcontactpage.html

Hi bkraysler, thanks for contacting us.

We make use of the built-in WordPress gallery shortcode in our theme, and it changed a bit in WordPress 3.5, so one thing to note is when you make a gallery, after you select the photos, you have to change the link to point to the Media File rather than the Attachment Page, which is the WP default. That should definitely sort out your issue.

thanks!!!
