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!

WP Triggers is a WordPress plugin that can show your content (text, images, videos, etc…) to visitors that know the secret code (aka “a trigger”). On the surface a Trigger Box is just a box, but it’s a powerful little box capable of adding some sweet interactivity to any WordPress site.

Need a zip code search? Want to get more affiliate sales? Does your band need to sell more albums? WP Triggers can do all this and so much more!

To give you some ideas on what WP Triggers can do, there is an entire video tutorial gallery here: http://www.wptriggers.com/ideas/

NOTE: The best way to understand and use WP Triggers to it’s full potential is to visit http://www.wptriggers.com where you can sit back, kick back and watch videos of all the cool stuff WP Triggers can do. However, here are some notes to get you started

Installing WP Triggers

After you make a purchase, you will have downloaded a .zip file. A zip file is a special file that allows you to store and compress many files together, resulting in a single file that is small and fast to download. With the .zip file ready, follow these steps:
  1. From the WordPress plugin menu click on Plugins > Add New
  2. Instead of searching for a plugin, you can directly upload your plugin zip file by clicking on the Upload link at the top
  3. Use the browse button to select the plugin zip file that was downloaded, then click on Install Now. The plugin will be uploaded to your blog and installed.
  4. Once uploaded, click on the Activate link
