Install  Theme and Plugins

You can install the Cafeking theme using either the WordPress Dashboard or the FTP method.

WordPress Dashboard Installation #

Follow these steps to install the theme via the WordPress admin panel:

• Log in to your WordPress admin dashboard
• Navigate to Appearance → Themes
• Click Add New, then select Upload Theme
• Choose the cafeking.zip file from your computer
• Click Install Now
• After installation, click Activate to enable the theme

FTP Installation Method #

If you prefer manual installation, follow these steps:

• Extract the cafeking.zip file on your computer
• Connect to your hosting server using an FTP client (e.g., FileZilla)
• Go to the directory: wp-content/themes/
• Upload the extracted Cafeking theme folder into this directory
• Log in to your WordPress admin panel
• Navigate to Appearance → Themes
• Click Activate on the Cafeking theme

Child Theme (Important) #

We strongly recommend using the Cafeking Child Theme for all customizations. This ensures your changes remain safe and are not overwritten during theme updates.

• The child theme is included in the theme package
• Install it the same way as the main theme
• After installation, activate the Cafeking Child Theme instead of the parent theme

Install Required Plugins #

After activating the theme, WordPress will show a message to install the required plugins.

• Click “Begin Installing Plugins”
• Install and activate them one by one

These plugins are essential for Cafeking features to work properly, including food menu management, ordering system, and reservation system.
