PetMatchPro 8.x
Your Adoption Plugin Just Got a Major UpgradeA complete modernization since 6.x — lightning-fast analytics, a guided setup wizard, a visual shortcode builder, and 60+ refreshed templates. Same shelter data. Better visitor experience.
What Changed Since 6.x
The 8.x line is a complete leap forward. Rewritten on a modern PHP 8.1+ foundation, PetMatchPro now ships with the operator-facing features shelters and rescues have been asking for — without changing the look you already built.
Faster dashboards. Cleaner cards. Smarter posters. A guided setup that gets you live in minutes instead of hours. Every change below was driven by real shelter workflows.
Lightning-Fast Analytics
Daily-summary architecture loads in under a second on the busiest sites. Track impressions, detail views, conversion funnels, and traffic sources from one dashboard.
Visual Shortcode Builder
Generate copy-paste-ready shortcodes scoped to your partner, method, and configured fields. No more hand-typing parameters from documentation.
13-Step Setup Wizard
Guided setup walks you through partner selection, method types, field presets, templates, contact info, filters, labels, and colors.
Hide Empty Fields
Per-method toggle (plus shortcode parameter) suppresses empty fields on search cards and detail pages. Cleaner layouts for partial records.
Lost & Found + QR Posters
Combined lost-and-found search with partner-aware location handling. One-click printable posters with QR codes that route back to the animal’s detail page.
60+ Modernized Templates
Default, conversion, profile, navigation, similar-animals, and celebration variants across all three partners. Theme template overrides included.
Accessible Hover Text
Standardized tooltips and ARIA labels on every animal card, with method-aware defaults like “Have You Seen {Name}?” for lost.
Self-Healing Schema
Database migrations run automatically on the next admin page load after upgrade. No deactivate/reactivate dance, no SQL surgery.
Currency Symbols Worldwide
Pound, euro, and dollar symbols render correctly on detail pages, search cards, and posters regardless of your locale.
“PetMatchPro is the missing link between your shelter software and your website.”
