Is this plugin still supported? I’m getting a pet finder is down error and it looks like others have as well. Please advise.

Hello

We’re building a website for a rescue site and would like to add this shortcode to another page that shows all of the adopted pets. Is it possible to sort (via the shortcode) adopted vs available?

Thank you!

Any idea how to fix the pet descriptions in the Pet Pop-Up section?

To the right of every description is a </> that runs the length of the entire description and covers up the last letter or so in nearly every line of text.

If you click on any of the dogs, you’ll see what I mean…

*Note: Site still under major construction ??

I tried the two suggestions (1 posted in “Plugin not working? Check here” and “no information showing” threads) for getting this plugin to work but they did not help. Any other ideas? Site: https://slal.org/adoption-center/available-pets/

Thanks!

This plugin is great except for a “>” character that shows up in the search options. I’ve inspected the CSS to see if I could find where the character is coming from but I have no clue. I’d rather use this plugin over the PetFinder Pet List Scroller which doesn’t look that great with the website.

Is it possible that it is coming from a php file and not a CSS file? Has anyone else experienced this problem?

I’ve tried to contact the plugin author a couple of times through email and the contact form on her website with no reply. It looks as though she has only replied on this plugin support page once.

If your plugin is not working and is stating that Petfinder is down, please replace your petfinder-search-rescue.php with:
https://pastebin.com/vSCuHsb4

If you have any other issues, please include your WordPress version and ShelterID.

I will work with the author to commit the changes.

Hi,

Just implementing your plugin, the shelter we work with has a Pet ID number. Is there anyway I can get that to come through on your plugin? I need that ID to show up on the site.

Thanks!

I have installed the plugin which can be viewed at https://www.wcghs.mylittlesidebusiness.com/animals-for-adoption/ but unfortunately the page only displays a portion of the animals and eliminates the ability to scroll. I love the plugin, is anyone else experiencing this issue? Any fixes?

When a listing with multiple links is pulled into the site, only the first link/URL is shown and repeated for each subsequent item. For example, if we have (in order) one link/URL to a dog’s Facebook photo album and then three links/URLs to three different YouTube videos of that dog, the link for the Facebook album is repeated for the YouTube videos.

I have installed this plugin on different sites and I keep getting an error “Petfinder down….” I then installed a similar Petfinder plugin and it worked fine on both sites. So there is something wrong with this plugin. Either it doesn’t work with WP 4.2+ or it doesn’t work with PHP 5.4+. Too bad, looked like a fantastic plugin! Will have to use a different one until this is fixed.

Let me start out by saying that this is a terrific plugin!

However, we are having a problem with it.

When any of our adoptable pets are adoption pending, our group often renames the pet. As an example, “Fido” becomes “Fido – ADOPTION PENDING”.

This is done because the adoption pending designation on Petfinder actually hides the pet bio. We want visitors to our site to recognize that this pet will probably be fully adopted, but we don’t want potential adopters to stop looking at a pet if they might be interested (just in case the adoption falls through).

Unfortunately, the Petfinder: Search & Rescue plugin doesn’t appear to update the pet name. Therefore, when we rename “Fido” as “Fido – ADOPTION PENDING”, he still appears as “Fido” on our website even though his name is updated on Petfinder.com

If this could be addressed in a future release, it would be much appreciated.

Your plugin looks like it would be perfect for the shelter web site that I manage, but all I get is a message saying “Petfinder is down for the moment. Please check back shortly.” It’s been this way for two days. I assume that this is because the plugin is not compatible with WP 4.2.1. Do you have plans to release a new version that is compatible? Thanks.

Hi

We would like to hire you (or someone) to help us configure some search issues and text issues within this plugin (search by branch location and change some titles)

Heres what we are looking for if possible

We need to remove some of the search components that are at the top cause they become redundant or they are not really something that we can have up there. (ex. the ‘cat friendly’ or ‘dog friendly filters).

Our shelter does not test for this until the potential new family notes they have a cat or another dog in the house, and in that case a physical meeting is arranged at our shelter.

Can we ADD the following:
Under “Type”
* ‘Other’ – this will be for bunnys, small animals if/when we get them

Can we CHANGE…

Under ‘Looking for’
* ‘Kid Friendly’ to ‘Child Friendly’

Can we then REMOVE the following:

Under “Looking for”
* Cat Friendly
* Dog Friendly

Remove ‘Breed’ search entirely – we do not get pure bred anything at our shelter. All animals are advertised as ‘mixes’ because we can never promise what they are mixed with.

Change under looking for:
* ‘Kid Friendly’ to ‘Child Friendly’

When you click on an adoptable… and their full profile comes up:
* Change ‘has shots’ to ‘Current on Vaccinations’

The ‘tag’ that is on Asia’s pictures shows at a quick glance that she is not child friendly and the info on her card shows her location and information on her breed (if someone enters it in Pet finder when they add her).

Right now when you go to the Pet Finder (your plugin), some tags on the PET (that show on Petfinder) dont show up, even though they are on Pet Finder. We need those to show up.

Can you also add a ‘Search by location’ on the Pet Finder… with a selection from all our branches at the top? That way people looking can just look to the shelter they want for an animal.

Do you offer any help on any of this please? (we pay fast)

??

thank you

Hi there,

There is a bug in the search for pets with multiple breeds. Here is the explaination and my fix.

#1306

// Create breed classes
$pet_breeds_condensed = '';
foreach( $pet->breeds->breed as $breed ) {
	$pet_breeds_condensed .= pet_value_condensed($breed) . ' ';
}

Since you’re already running the pet_value_condensed() filter on the breed and successfully parsing multiple breeds at #1306 there’s no need to call it again on #1327, #1334, and #1339:

#1327:

$pet_list .= '<div class="psr__span2 picture-item shuffle-item filtered ' . pet_value_condensed($breed) . ' ' . $pet_optionClasses...

#1334:

...'<p class="item__breed-tag">'. pet_value_condensed($breed) .'</p></div>

#1339:

...<span>'. pet_value_condensed($breed) .'</span></div>'.

Doing so uses only the final value of $breed from the foreach loop rather than all the breeds. The result is that search then only works on the last breed if there are multiples for the animal.

Instead, just use the already filted value $pet_breeds_condensed:

$pet_list .= '<div class="psr__span2 picture-item shuffle-item filtered ' . $pet_breeds_condensed . ' ' . $pet_optionClasses...

etc.

Hope this helps,

Brad

I’m trying to get this plugin to work. I’ve copied the code to the page i want it on and entered the API and Shelter ID but all I’m getting is “Petfinder is down for the moment. Please check back shortly.” It has been this way for several weeks.

Please excuse the site, it’s under construction.

Hey There,

I really like your plugin is it possible to change it so it doesn’t require the shelter id and pull in all available pets?

Thanks,

Just as the header says! Would like it to display with the options hidden by default. We’re a small rescue, we don’t have hundreds of dogs people need to search through.

I’m loving this plugin which I think is an upgrade from the old plugin I was using, however when I use the code on a landing page, that landing page’s formatting is a mess.

The background image strips out, the menus and menu formatting doesn’t’ display right, it’s not playing nice with a side-menu at all (it appears above the side menu instead of beside it) and even when I switch it to full-page, the menus are still off with regard to font and various other things.

I’m using Responsive Theme which is a pretty basic theme, so I’m surprised at how many negative interactions it seems to be creating.
