🚀 1. Key Features

📅 Case Management & Risk Levels

  • Dynamic Status: Track cases as Missing, Found - Safe, Found - Deceased, or Cold Case.
  • Risk Assessment: Categorize cases as Low, Medium, or High risk.
  • Visual Urgency: "High Risk" cases feature an automated pulsing red badge for maximum visibility.

🗺️ Dynamic Map Integration

  • Interactive Location Pinning: Admins can pin the exact "Last Seen" coordinates on an OpenStreetMap interface.

🖨️ Poster Generation Tool

  • One-Click Printing: Generate professional, high-impact "MISSING" posters directly from a profile.

Backend Management

Admins can manage all details from the "Missing People" menu in the WordPress sidebar. The interface is organized into logical tabs:

  1. Personal Information: Identity and ethnicity.
  2. Physical Description: Height, weight, hair, and medical conditions.

The plugin includes hooks (mpr_handle_public_submission) for integrating third-party SMS alerts or CRM systems. Developers can override aesthetics by placing custom templates in their theme's missing-person/ directory.
