FAQ

How do I display an image of my beer

When creating your Beer, set the “featured image” option in the sidebar to the beer image you wish to use. Most themes automatically use this option out of the box.

How do I display a beer on a page or post?

Use the [beer name=# text=#] shortcode inside your page editor to add a beer to any page. Replace the “#” with the name of the beer, as well as the text that you want to show in the link.

How do I display a list of all my beers?

Use the [beer_list] shortcode inside your page editor to add a list of all your beers to any page. See the getting started section to learn more about this shortcode.

My printed menu looks funny

Be sure to remove the default margins when you print your menu!

When I hover over a beer, the preview popup is way off!

Since Easy Beer Lister is designed to work with as many themes as possible, I created a way to adjust this hover. Go to settings->Easy Beer Lister settings and set some offset values until you get it right. Use trial and error until it looks good

When I click on a specific beer, I get a “not found” page

You probably need to flush your permalinks. Follow these steps:

  1. Go to settings>>>permalinks
  2. If your permalink structure is set to Custom Structure, copy the custom structure field to your clipboard
  3. Select a different permalink structure and click save
  4. paste your permalink structure back into the custom structure field and click save
