There are lots of settings and features to try out in MyRestaurantTheme, for example layout settings, color options, etc. Once you get the combination of settings your are satisfied with, you’ll want to export your settings and save them on your hard drive, just so you have a backup.

Exporting and importing your settings is very easy in MyRestaurantTheme, as you’ll see in this tutorial.

Posted in Tutorials

IMPORTANT: As of April 2012, Google has stopped supplying API keys, and they are not required anymore. The map functions correctly without the API key, we have removed the interface from the theme.

Original post (defunct function):

The Google Map API key is needed if you want to include a Google Map on your website, for example, with the Google Maps custom widget you have access to after enabling MyRestaurantTheme.

This is highly advised, as most restaurant sites have a map for their customers to easily find the restaurant.

This tutorial will show you how to get the Google Maps API key, and where to paste it on your WordPress dashboard.

How to install MyRestaurantTheme

Posted in Tutorials

There are 2 ways 2 install MyRestaurantTheme.

The first (and easier) way is to upload it straight from your WordPress dashboard, and the second is to upload it via FTP.

The first method might not work for you, if your hosting set the maximum upload file size too low. This is when you would need to use the second method, or alternatively, you could just contact your hosting provider and ask them to increase your maximum file upload limit.

This tutorial will show you both ways of uploading the MyRestaurantTheme files, then activating it on your WordPress dashboard. Once MyRestaurantTheme is activated, you’ll have access to all of the features of MyRestaurantTheme.
