Author: Maca Development Privacy: On activation, deactivation, and uninstall, the plugin sends your site URL, plugin version, WordPress version, PHP version, and locale to Maca at https://api.maca.se/v1/restu/events.php so we can improve the plugin and count active installations. If you choose to send deactivation feedback, your selected reason and optional comment are included. No menu files, categories, or visitor data are transmitted.

1. Upload the maca-restu folder to /wp-content/plugins/
2. Activate the plugin through the Plugins screen in WordPress
3. Go to maca Restu in the admin menu to create categories and menus
4. Add the shortcode [maca_menu_list] to a page or use the maca Restu block

Database tables are created automatically on activation. Recommended: Set your site timezone under Settings → General so scheduling uses the correct local time. Use HTTPS for WordPress Address and Site Address when serving PDF menus.

1.0.50

• Duplicate menu from the Menu Files list — copies title, file, and schedule to a new menu (handy for lunch/dinner/weekend variants).
• Clearer schedule column in the menu list — compact summaries like Mon–Fri 11:00–14:00, plus Outside schedule / Inactive / Expired when relevant, and a Preview link.
• Activation telemetry uses pending delivery via WP-Cron with admin-page retry (same pattern as maca Sec) so registrations reach maca Hub reliably on hosts where cron is delayed (e.g. Loopia).
• Telemetry sends unresolved site URLs as-is (or unknown) so unnamed installations still appear in maca Hub.
