1. Install (if not already installed) advanced custom fields widget by Elliot Condon
2. Upload jrwdev-daily-specials folder to the /wp-content/plugins/ directory
3. Activate the plugin through the ‘Plugins’ menu in WordPress
4. Create Daily Specials in your Admin Panel
5. Activate Daily Specials Widget in your sidebar
