Current users: Learn how to update to the latest version of WP Triggers
The latest version of WP Triggers is now available and thanks to feedback from awesome users like you, it comes with these unique features:
Shortcode Support You can now use shortcode from other plugins in your Trigger Boxes! For example you can display a NextGen gallery or a Gravity Forms form if the visitor guesses the answer to a question. To enable shortcode support, just check the “Contains Shortcode” box!
Built in Redirection You can easily redirect visitors to any URL just by pasting in a link (no more javascript coding). This is can be used for secret pages or ebook downloads. To enable redirection, choose “Redirect visitors to this URL” on the right
Any Valid Email Address is a Trigger There is now a checkbox to enable any valid email address to be used as a Trigger. This can be really useful when you want to reward people that give you their email address – in exchange for an ebook or a special video. This feature is integrated beautifully with the new Trigger History feature. To enable visitors to enter in their email address, just select “Use any valid email address as a trigger” on the left
Trigger History What Trigger was submitted? Was it a valid Trigger? When? Now any Trigger submitted via any Trigger Box is saved with the date and time. This is a great to know what Triggers are being used the most. NOTE: You’ll always find people submitting funny things! The Trigger History section is found under the main WP Triggers menu entry. You’ll also find useful sorting / filtering features!
Better Add / Edit Trigger Box layout The layout has been improved, making it a lot more user friendly… those of you who have the older version will see the sexy new layout! Enjoy!
