Is there a name for this?

Does it even exist? Haha...Alright, I have a 430EX II and flash triggers (that I bought a while before I had this flash) that connect to a flash via miniphone or PC chord.The problem with that is that my 430ex doesn't have a port for either jack... So I tried searching for a PC to hotshoe adapter, so that I could plug the trigger into the adapter and then sit the flash on the hotshoe of the adapter...The problem? I'm finding PC to hotshoe adapters, but the shoe isn't actually HOT. The hotshoe is on the under side of the adapter... To sit on your camera, but on top It's a coldshoe... That doesn't help me.Does anyone know what I could search for in order to find an adapter for a FLASH and not just the camera? Maybe I'm searchig for the right thing, but the exact use I need it for isn't as common, so I'm having trouble finding it... Or maybe I'm way offbase. I dunno, haha. Any guidance would be appreciated though! :sillysmi:

This is what comes to mind when you ask for a PC -> Hotshoe adaptor. Is this what you're after? I got a little confused reading your OP

I used to have that problem from my iPhone/Pad, until I changed the setting under "General Settings/Miscellaneous/Standard Editor - Extra formatting controls, changing it from the Enhanced Interface.

Possibly... Except I don't need to connect to a camera... I just need to connect to a flash trigger receiver via PC cord. Do you think that would do it? Rather than mounting that to my camera, could I mount that to a light stand with a flash mounted on the hotshoe and plug it into the receiver via PC cord?

Is that using the app or using the regular forum in safari?
