Choosing which animals appear on your website

Your public animals can show up on your website on their own. To keep one off, set it to Hide from website. A private animal never appears until you make its Creatures profile public.

Show or hide an animal across your website

1. In the website builder, open Settings (the gear) and find On your site.
2. Choose Manage which animals appear. An Animals section's Manage website eligibility link opens the same list.
3. For each animal, set Website visibility to Show on website or Hide from website.
4. Choose Save animal visibility.

These changes reach your live website right away. You don't need to publish.

Each row has a label, On website or Hidden from website. Private on Creatures means the animal's profile is private. Its choice reads Show once its profile is public, and it stays off your website until you make the profile public. If you pick Hide from website instead, it stays hidden even after the profile goes public. Make public and show does both at once: it makes the animal's Creatures profile public and shows it on your website. If you can't edit that animal, the row asks you to have an owner make its profile public.

The list shows the animals owned or co-owned by the account this website belongs to. If there are more than 120, only the 120 newest are listed. Change an older animal from its own page.

Change it from the animal's page

Open the animal, choose Edit profile and scroll to Your Creatures Site. This part appears once the animal's owner has a published website.

• Website visibility: Show on website or Hide from website.
• Site status: a badge visitors see, such as Available, Reserved, Sold, Retained or At stud. With No public status, Creatures adds a badge when it can. For example, an animal listed for sale shows Available, and a male you offer for stud on Creatures shows At stud.
• Variety and Grade (both optional) appear on the animal's website card.

Then choose Save changes.

If you offer a male for stud on Creatures, his website card also shows his stud fee. Visitors who choose his card go to his stud offer on Creatures, where they can send you a breeding request.

Leave an animal out of one section

Sometimes you want an animal on your website, just not in one spot. In the preview, choose the animal's photo, then Hide from this section. In a photo gallery, the button says Remove from this gallery. You can also use Choose animals in the section's settings. See Adding and arranging sections on your website.

Section choices are part of your draft, so they go live when you publish your changes. A section set to show Featured animals (starred on your profile) uses the animals you starred on your Creatures profile.

Animals for sale, groups and litters

Your For sale page lists your active Creatures listings, so you never type them twice. A listing appears only when its animal is public and not hidden from your website. Hiding an animal from your website doesn't end its listing on Creatures. Groups and litters show up once they are public.

If an animal is missing

• Is its profile private? Make it public first. See Public, private, and reference animals.
• Is it hidden? Check Manage which animals appear, and check whether it was hidden from that one section.
• Does the section leave it out? Check Species, Breeds, Show and Maximum cards in the section's settings.
• Is it on the right website? A farm's website shows only animals the farm owns. Your personal website shows the animals you own. The name next to Editing: at the top of the builder tells you which website you are in.
