A WordPress MU plugin that registers a Menu Item custom post type with categories, pricing, CSV import, image linking, and shortcode rendering. Ideal for restaurants, cafés, and food-service businesses.

• Custom Post Type (menu_item) with full admin UI
• Hierarchical taxonomy (menu_category) with sort order and layout options
• Price metabox with automatic numeric normalization
• Single-category enforcement per item
• CSV bulk import with delimiter auto-detection
• Automatic image linking by item code
• Shortcodes for rendering menus on the frontend
• Two layout modes: Simple (list) and Media (with thumbnails)
• Inline styles — no external CSS dependencies
• Fully sanitized and escaped (WPCS compliant)

1. Copy the wp-menu-cpt/ folder into wp-content/mu-plugins/.
2. WordPress will load it automatically on every request.

Alternatively, create a loader file at wp-content/mu-plugins/load-wp-menu-cpt.php:

<?php
require_once __DIR__ . '/wp-menu-cpt/wp-menu-cpt.php';

[menu_category_display slug="appetizers"]
[menu_category_display id="5" layout="media" show_title="1"]

Attributes: id, slug, name, show_title (0|1), show_desc (0|1), show_price (0|1), layout (simple|media), limit, order (ASC|DESC), orderby (menu_order|title).

[menu_full_display show_title="1" layout="simple"]

Each category automatically gets a shortcode based on its slug:

[menu_appetizers]
[menu_main_courses]

The importer accepts CSV files with these columns (order does not matter):

Category,Name,Description,Price

See sample-data/sample-menu.csv for an example.

Synonyms are supported: Title/Product/Item for Name, Value for Price.

Each category supports:

• Order (integer) — controls display order in shortcodes
• Layout (simple or media) — default layout for the category

• WordPress 6.1+
• PHP 7.4+
