FW Food Menu tutorial for Joomla!

Installing FW Food Menu takes a few minutes through Joomla's built-in Extension Manager. You only need the single ZIP you just downloaded, with no manual file copies and no database changes.

Upload and Install

  1. Sign in to your Joomla administrator panel at yoursite.com/administrator
  2. Go to System → Install → Extensions
  3. Click the Upload Package File tab
  4. Drag the FW Food Menu ZIP (version 6.1.2) into the drop zone, or click Or browse for file
  5. Wait for the green success message (installation typically takes 5-10 seconds)

Find FW Food Menu in the Admin

Once installed, FW Food Menu appears in two places in the Joomla admin:

  • Components → FW Food Menu: the main entry point
  • The new FW Food Menu sidebar item added by the bundled admin module, for one-click access from any admin screen

Open the component to see the dashboard, where you'll spend most of your time managing meals, settings, and add-ons.

Troubleshooting Install Failures

  • "Package does not contain a valid manifest" or upload size error: your PHP upload_max_filesize or post_max_size is below the package size. Raise both to 32M or higher in php.ini and retry.
  • Installation hangs at "Installing component...": your max_execution_time may be too low. Raise to 120 seconds in php.ini.
  • "Could not connect to the database": your Joomla install lost its DB connection during the install. Refresh and retry; the install is idempotent.

Next step: activate your license so updates and add-ons unlock.
