In this episode of WordPress Weekly, I was joined by Jeff Chandler and Matt Medeiros of Mattreport.com and founder of Slocumstudio.com. It was a great conversation and the first time that I’ve had a chance to speak with Matt. I really admire the things he is producing from a content perspective. This was the third show in a row that I was asked to participate, which I’m grateful for. With such technical experts around, it’s great to be able to have a conversation about my two favorite things, Podcasting and WordPress! I really enjoyed this episode a lot. I hope you do as well.

WP Triggers Lite creates interactive trigger boxes. These are conditional boxes that display when the user types in a predetermined phrase or keywords. Once the criteria is met, it triggers what you want to display. If it does not meet the criteria you set, it will default to whatever you set the default process to do.
