FAQ

First, make sure the page contains the [redirestaurant] shortcode (the plugin creates a “Reservation” page with it automatically on activation). If the form still does not appear: 1) check that the API key was generated during registration (Settings > ReDi Restaurant Reservation), 2) temporarily switch to a default theme to rule out a theme conflict, and 3) disable caching/optimization plugins for the reservation page. If it still does not show, contact us at [email protected] — we respond quickly and will help you get it running.
