Installed it and have a issue with image

Hi Andy,

If you’re viewing a single menu item using the default post template, your theme will probably show the featured image separate from the menu item, so you’ll get the image shown twice. This is what I would guess is happening, but you’re welcome to post the link to your site for me to take a look.

There are two ways to handle this, but they depend on how your theme templates are structured. If your theme has a content.php and content-post.php, you can probably just create a duplicate content-menu-item.php file, then remove the featured image from that template file.

If you’d rather keep your theme’s featured image but remove the menu item’s featured image, you can try modifying the food and drink menu templates which construct each menu item. However, removing the image in the template will remove it from individual items as well as the overall menu.

You can learn more about modifying the plugin templates here:

This was eventually resolved in an email exchange. I’ll post up the results here for anyone else having this problem.

Please note, you’ll need to be able to add and edit the PHP template files of your theme or Child Theme to implement this.

Here are the steps that resolved the issue over email.

These steps are done using the default twentythirteen theme. If the files have been modified, the code may not look exactly the same. But I presume that most of this will be left in place.

1. In your theme folder, you’ll find a file called single.php. This is the file that renders a single post item. You’ll want to copy this file and rename the copy to single-fdm-menu-item.php. This will tell WordPress to load this file when displaying a single menu item instead of the regular single.php.

2. Open up the new single-fdm-menu-item.php file and find this line:

get_template_part( 'content', get_post_format() );

3. Change this line to the following:

get_template_part( 'content', 'fdm-menu-item' );

4. Now, in your theme folder, find a file called content.php. Copy this file file and name the copy content-fdm-menu-item.php. Now, when a single menu item post is displayed, it will call single-fdm-menu-item.php, which will in turn call content-fdm-menu-item.php.

5. Open up the new content-fdm-menu-item.php file and find these lines:

<?php if ( has_post_thumbnail() && ! post_password_required() ) : ?>
		<div class="entry-thumbnail">
			<?php the_post_thumbnail(); ?>
		</div>
		<?php endif; ?>

Remove that line to remove the featured image display at the top of a single menu item page.

Hitching on to this question, as I’m trying to do a similar thing, only I can’t seem to get single-fdm-menu-item.php and content-fdm-menu-item.php to override single.php and content.php. I’m using a slightly modified version of TwentyThirteen, but those files haven’t been touched from their originals.

Any idea? I’ve been through the steps above, and no luck. I have the fdm-templates copied from the plugin for customization in the same folder and aren’t having any issues with that. It seems to load in correctly when I add/edit content there.

Hi ff4500,

It’s hard for me to say what might be the problem without looking at your setup. If you’re willing, set up an account for me at your website. Then contact me via my website. I’ll send you back an email and you can send the login details to me over email.

(Don’t post login details here or send them in the contact form on my site, as those locations are not secure enough.)

Figured it out…

It needs to be <?php get_template_part( 'content', 'fdm-menu' ); ?> and the files need to be single-fdm-menu.php and content-fdm-menu.php in order for it to load the single.php and content.php overrides.

Guess that I just needed to sleep on it. Thanks!

Hi ff4500,

Great, glad you were able to figure it out.

Just to clarify for others who might find this thread: single-fdm-menu.php is for displaying entire menus. single-fdm-menu-item.php is for displaying a single menu item.
