The best solution to add missing pets to your site.

Rating: 5 stars

Hello Igor, thank you so much for your response (even if it is now a year ago, but wanted to let you know that i’ve found a work around to my quandary of “With running a rescue, sometimes it is great to have particular information with adopted or soon to be adopted dogs profiles – such as Foster Carer details, even adoption details e.g. names and phone numbers. However, this information needs to be private – as in not displayed to the public.”

The simplest way I can come up with is to have a special user role such as “Rescue Coordinator”.

Create the private fields needed with Advanced Custom Fields (ACF). Integrate these fields only for the pets posts, and only for Rescue coordinators – without publishing them to the front end.

It’s a clunky way – but by doing this, I can also create groups of fields for the pets documents, and even give access to certain fields – such as desexing pdf files to only the person fostering that dog – and then later to the new dog’s owner.

If anyone would like to know more – am happy to write up a process for this in the near future when things have calmed down – we have lots of intakes at the moment.

Thank you so much for your response Igor, and thank you for any considerations to my quandary in the future.

I have used another plugin to display pets for rescue organizations for years, but decided to look into other options when that plugin wasn’t yet ready for the new Petfinder API.

I came across the Pets plugin and have been impressed with the developer’s willingness to address user requests. Besides linking to Petfinder listings, the Pets plugin also offers other custom fields for organizations to feature their pets.
