FW Food Menu tutorial for Wordpress

Text commands that allow to add FW Food Menu layouts to a post and define parameters available for layouts and add-ons. Shortcode always looks like [fwfm_shortcode parameter1="xyz" parameter2="abc" ...].

There 5 shortcodes available in FW Food Menu:

  • [fwfm_categories] - categories list - FW Food Menu plugin.

Apart from shortcode there are plugins extensions that we call add-ons which can be turned off with any shortcode if required. See Plugins section below for more information.
