PetPress allows PetPoint users to create lists and detail pages for animals in their shelter(s).
PetPress allows PetPoint users to create lists and detail pages for animals in their shelter(s). By using a shortcode, you can list animals in a shelter location by species, or you can show the details of an individual animal. Results pulled from PetPoint are cached in the local database for fastest performance.

2) Animal photos now shown in “lightbox” instead of simple links to the Petango image.
3) Added an option to show adoption application links for those shelters that use PetPoint’s application process.
4) Stylesheet now loaded using WordPress enqueue call instead of being loaded in-line.
5) Removed custom coloring for male/female/unknown from admin settings. Colorization still available by overriding styles.

3) BETA “volunteer” list, the ability to set up a summary page showing which animals are lacking photos, videos and/or descriptions. This is a BETA feature; any and all aspects are subject to change.
Version 1.4.2

3) Shortened data refresh interval to 60 minutes (from 120 minutes)
4) “Stickies” overlays have been made slightly smaller.
5) BETA “found animals” list. Use shortcode parameter “report=found” and specify species (“0” for all species). This is a BETA feature; any and all aspects are subject to change.

7) Drop-down on list page for quick access to an animal by name
8) Restored breed name capitalization to AKC guidelines
Version 1.4:
1) Instead of loading PetPoint data on the first load after the cache expires, loading is now a background task, on two-hour cycle (staggered start times for dogs/cats/other). Removed cache option from admin.

3) Added “Adoption Pending” flag for animals whose PetPoint “stage” value begins with “Adopted”
4) Added secondary breed to detail page. Note that if primary breed is a mix, then the secondary breed is not shown.
5) Added the ability to customize the accent colors for male, female, and unknown animals.
6) Fixed Facebook open graph data so that individual animals can be posted in Facebook (though this will be undone by Yoast and perhaps other SEO plugins that set their own canonical URLs)
7) New shortcode parameter, “showsite” will show site on the list and detail pages even if the setting is turned off globally.
8) Bug fix: Custom cache length may have been ignored in favor of the default.

2) Added Rabbits and Horses as species that can be listed.
3) Added option to randomize the photos used on the list page.
4) Page titles on detail pages list name, species and breed.

3) New CSS for list pages adjusts the size of the tiles for a better fit.
4) Bug fix: Resolves an issue discovered for websites using the Themify Builder that resulted in the lists of animals sometimes showing each animal twice. It is unknown if the problem extended beyond the Themify Builder.
5) Bug fix: Animal names longer than 14 characters will show 12 characters plus an ellipsis (“…”) so that the list page layout is not disrupted.
Version 1.1:
1) Bug fix: Prior to fix, sometimes PetPoint would be called for an individual animal’s record even though there was a cached item recent enough to use instead.
2) Added “sort” as a shortcode parameter. Valid values are “age”, “name”, and “weight”. Default sort is by name. Sort parameter in querystring gets precedence over sort parameter in shortcode.
3) Added “housetrained” and “on hold” as displayable fields.
4) Changed “video” icon from an image to a WordPress dashicon.
5) Added test to make sure that “site” parameter is numeric.
