## Descripción

**PetMatchPro** is the most complete animal adoption plugin for WordPress. It connects
your shelter or rescue website directly to the data management system you already
use – so your available animals are always current, always branded, and always working
to find forever homes.

**Supported Integrations**

 * PetPoint / Petango
 * RescueGroups
 * AnimalsFirst

**Major Upgrade from 6.4.6 – A Whole New PetMatchPro**

If you’re running an older version of PetMatchPro, the 8.x line is a complete leap
forward. The plugin has been rewritten on a modern PHP 8.1+ foundation, with dozens
of new operator-facing capabilities. Highlights since 6.4.6:

 * **Lightning-Fast Analytics Dashboard** – A new daily-summary architecture means
   dashboards that used to time out on busy shelters now load in under a second,
   no matter how many millions of events you’ve collected. Track impressions, detail
   views, adoption clicks, conversion funnels, traffic sources, peak engagement 
   times, repeat visitors, and time-to-action – all from a single Analytics tab.
 * **Smarter Impression Tracking** – Impressions are only counted when a visitor
   actually dwells on an animal card (500ms minimum), so your numbers reflect real
   interest, not page-scroll noise. Pages with 300+ animals produce clean, meaningful
   data.
 * **Conversion vs. Engagement Split** – The dashboard now distinguishes adoption-
   intent actions (adoption application, email, phone, foster, meet-and-greet, donation,
   sponsor, volunteer) from engagement actions (video plays, shares, directions).
   Know what’s actually driving placements.
 * **Visual Shortcode Builder** – A new admin tab generates correct, copy-paste-
   ready shortcodes for the partner, method, license tier, installed templates, 
   and field set you’ve configured. No more hand-typing parameters from the documentation.
 * **Setup Wizard** – A 13-step guided setup walks you through partner selection,
   method types, field presets, template choices, contact info, filters, labels,
   colors, and the poster page. Stand up a working configuration in minutes.
 * **Hide Empty Fields** – A per-method admin toggle (plus a shortcode parameter)
   suppresses empty fields on both search cards and detail pages. Cleaner layouts
   for unnamed-intake animals and partial records.
 * **Search-Card Hover Text** – Standardized, accessible tooltips and ARIA labels
   on every animal card across all three partners, with method-aware defaults (“
   Have You Seen {Name}?” for lost, “Help Rehome This {Species}” for found, “Learn
   More About {Name}” for adopt).
 * **Lost & Found Search** – Combined lost-and-found search results, partner-aware
   location handling, and printable lost/found posters with QR codes that route 
   back to the animal’s detail page.
 * **Print Posters** – One-click adoptable, lost, and found posters with branded
   layouts, QR codes for last-seen or found locations, and the option to set a dedicated
   poster page.
 * **Currency Symbols Worldwide** – £, €, and $ now render correctly on detail pages,
   search cards, and posters – regardless of your locale.
 * **Modernized Template Library** – 60+ search and detail templates across all 
   three partners, including default, conversion, conversion-no-app, profile, navigation,
   similar-animals, and celebration variants. Theme template overrides are supported(
   Junior+).
 * **Multi-Lingual Ready** – Full Spanish (es_ES) translation included; .pot file
   regenerated from current source for any custom locale.
 * **WordPress.org Compliant** – Color values validated at save and at render. Unserialize
   calls hardened against object injection. License-gated UI is hidden rather than
   shown locked. Operational logs route through a structured logger so error_log
   entries are debuggable in one round-trip.
 * **Self-Healing Database** – Schema migrations run automatically on the next admin
   page load after upgrade. No deactivate/reactivate dance.

**What PetMatchPro Does for You**

Whether you manage a large municipal shelter or a small breed-specific rescue, PetMatchPro
gives you the tools to showcase your animals and measure what’s working:

 * **Live Animal Listings** – Adoptable, found, and lost animals pulled directly
   from your data management system in real time.
 * **Branded Search & Display** – Fully customizable search filters, field labels,
   colors, fonts, and layout so your listings match your website – not a generic
   widget.
 * **Built-In Analytics** – Track impressions, detail views, conversion actions,
   repeat visitors, and time-to-action. Understand what’s actually driving placements.
 * **Simple Shortcodes** – Place animal search, detail pages, single fields, and
   admin option values anywhere on your site. Five shortcodes cover every use case.
 * **Visual Shortcode Builder** – A guided builder generates correct shortcodes 
   for your configuration. No documentation required.
 * **Setup Wizard** – 13-step guided setup gets you from install to live in minutes.
 * **Free to Install** – Works out of the box with PetPoint, RescueGroups, or AnimalsFirst–
   no credit card required to get started.

**Why Shelters Choose PetMatchPro**

Most shelters rely on an embedded iframe or a redirect to their data system’s generic
public portal – giving up control of the visitor experience, losing branding, and
getting zero data in return. PetMatchPro keeps visitors on your site, in your brand,
and gives you the visibility you need to place more animals.

> _“PetMatchPro is the missing link between your shelter software and your website.”_

**Third-party API integrations**
 PetMatchPro retrieves filter values and species/
breed/color lists from AnimalsFirst and RescueGroups APIs on-demand when administrators
click the “Refresh Filter Values” button in the plugin’s admin settings. PetMatchPro
also retrieves animal records from the configured shelter management system (PetPoint,
AnimalsFirst, or RescueGroups) on every public-facing page render. No data is sent
off-site without an explicit administrator action; no analytics or telemetry is 
sent to a vendor-controlled server.

## Preguntas frecuentes

Visit https://petmatchpro.com/faq/ for answers to our most frequently asked questions.

### Configuration Constants

PetMatchPro reads a small set of optional `define()` constants from `wp-config.php`.
These are operator-only kill switches and debugging toggles – none are required 
for normal operation. Add them above the `/* That's all, stop editing! */` line.

 * `PMP_ANALYTICS_LEGACY_READS` (since 8.9.6) – When defined and truthy, every dashboard
   read method that was migrated to the daily summary table in 8.9.4 falls back 
   to its pre-8.9.4 raw-events body. Use as a one-line rollback if a migrated dashboard
   widget shows surprising numbers and you want to compare against the legacy implementation
   while the operator team investigates.
    Example: `define( 'PMP_ANALYTICS_LEGACY_READS',
   true );` Equivalent filter (theme functions.php / mu-plugin): `add_filter( 'pmp_analytics_legacy_reads','
   __return_true' );` – the constant takes precedence when both are set.

For the full list with examples, see the **wp-config.php Configuration Constants**
KB article in the docs folder (`docs/kb/09-troubleshooting/14-wp-config-constants.
html`).

### Internationalization

PetMatchPro is fully translation-ready and ships with a complete Spanish (es_ES)
translation out of the box. Every user-facing string – admin settings, the 13-step
setup wizard, public-facing templates, error messages, and all shortcode output –
is wrapped in WordPress’s standard translation functions with the `pet-match-pro`
text domain.

What’s included:

 * Full Spanish (es_ES) translation – `.po` source and compiled `.mo` files in the
   plugin’s `languages/` directory.
 * Up-to-date `.pot` template regenerated from the current source. Drop it into 
   Loco Translate, Poedit, or any GlotPress-compatible tool to add your own locale.
 * Locale-aware currency rendering – the pound sign, euro sign, and dollar sign 
   render correctly on detail pages, search cards, and posters regardless of the
   site language.
 * All five shortcodes (`[pmp-search]`, `[pmp-details]`, `[pmp-detail]`, `[pmp-option]`,`[
   pmp-social-share]`) emit translated strings, including hover text, field labels,
   accessibility labels, and error messages.
 * Method-aware default strings (“Learn More About {Name}”, “Have You Seen {Name}?”,“
   Help Rehome This {Species}”) are translated, not hardcoded.

Switching languages requires no plugin-side configuration. Change the site language
under **Settings > General > Site Language** and PetMatchPro follows automatically.
Custom translations placed in `wp-content/languages/plugins/pet-match-pro-{locale}.
mo` take precedence over the bundled files and survive plugin updates.

If you produce a translation for a locale we don’t yet ship, send the `.po` file
to support@petmatchpro.com and we will consider bundling it in a future release.
