Jetpack for WordPress

September 4, 2024

This month we have lots of visual fixes, and one new experimental feature we'd love your feedback on. Visually, we've: - Updated the site picker to be simpler and easier to use – it adds support for staging sites, context menus, and previews. - Fixed an issue where some navigation bars in the app were transparent. - Fixed an issue where private site icons wouldn't load. - Updated dozens of screens to avoid visual bugs by simplifying the code. - Fixed an issue where the Subscribers chart would show the wrong background color. Under "App Settings", you now can try out Application Passwords – a new Experimental Feature for self-hosted sites that allows them to work with the apps if they use 2FA or SSO.

We've fixed three big issues in this release: * Some users couldn't update their post's content. * Some users had images that were rotated the wrong way. * A rare crash in the editor caused by unsupported blocks As always, please reach out to support if anything isn't working right!

We fixed a rare bug that made the app crash when trashing posts. One person’s trash is another person’s… still trash, we guess. We also fixed an issue with the navigation bar in the Post Visibility picker. While we were at it, we updated the editor’s Post Settings screen to use the new navigation bar style. Nice.

Noticed a long delay when saving posts? That might have been because of image, gallery, or file blocks—but not anymore. Saving should be quick and easy, no matter how many photos or files you’ve uploaded. The Tags feed is live! You can now see content with specific tags, all in one place. Tag, you’re it. Finally, we fixed the overlapping “Done” button on the “Post Published” screen. Easy peasy, lemon squeezy.

We’ve been busier than Batman after yet another Arkham breakout. (We’d like to know what local billionaire Bruce Wayne is doing about that.) Buckle up, this update is a big one. We reorganized your Stats screen to show new information about traffic and insights. We also added a Subscribers tab so you can better analyze information about your site subscribers. Please like and subscribe. We fixed multiple issues with post syncing, like posts not loading when the app opens and not showing up in the right status tab. A place for every post, and every post in its place. When you’re editing a page, you can now set the parent page within the page’s settings. We added slug and excerpt fields to the settings area, and we removed the status field. We also improved the way different settings are ordered and grouped. We also resolved issues with the Publish Date field in your post settings. The new date picker makes it easy to choose your publication date, even if you’re in a different time zone from the blog. You’ll only see the Publish Date field when you’re ready to hit publish. We added a new Media Uploads screen to your publishing workflow so you can see uploads in progress. You’ll see any error messages for failed uploads here, along with the option to cancel them. Oh, and speaking of errors, we improved notifications for errors with uploading and publishing. We updated the “more” menu in the editor with a new look and feel, and we changed the design for your revisions list. We also added a badge to indicate when a post is password protected. (We don’t recommend using the password 1-2-3-4-5. Amazingly, that’s the same combination we have on our luggage.) Pending posts now have clearer workflows for admins and contributors. We also updated the success view for published posts. It’s now easier to Share and Blaze a post. Changed your mind about trashing a post? You can now view and restore trashed posts and pages from the editor. We removed the “draft uploaded” bar that appeared on the bottom of your screen when you were saving or updating a draft post. This did not spark joy, so we thanked it and said goodbye. Finally, we squashed a long list of bugs and fixed a handful of rare crashes caused by code issues. - If a draft on your device is different from the draft saved to the web, the app will now show a conflict resolution screen instead of making changes on its own. - Discarding changes to a draft will no longer delete the entire draft. - The footer will show the correct date when a draft was created. - You’ll now see an error message when you assign a page author who isn’t eligible to be an author.

We made some updates to the Pages menu. You’ll now find Settings in its own section, right underneath Stats (which we also moved). It’s available for both published and unpublished posts. Groovy.

We’ve added reading preferences so you can customize your Reader screen. Pick the color, font, and size you like the most for a reading experience that fits your vibe. We also updated the Insights tab to load and scroll better. No flickering, no breaking, no problem.

April 15, 2024

We fixed a handful of issues with highlighted text formatting. We don’t know about you, but that’s the highlight of our week. While we were at it, we solved the problems causing multiple error messages on the Insights screen. No drama, just data. You should also see the most current version of your site in the reader—not an older, cached version. Newer is always better.

We’ve introduced a fix that prevents certain bugs within the editor and individual block types. This fix logs any bugs that sneak through so we can squash those, too. We also improved your previewing and publishing experience by removing the edit button from the “Post Published” success screen and the publish button from the “Preview” screen. All in a day’s work.

The Stats screen has a new Traffic tab. Get better graphs and access all your historical data in one place. That’s right, you’ve got data for days… and weeks, and months, and years. Notifications got a glow-up, giving you a shinier, easier-to-use design. We also made a few changes to the block editor. - We added support for VideoPress v5, so you should notice better performance in your video blocks. - The app won’t crash anymore when the editor auto-scrolls down to a block. No more giving you up or letting you down. - You’ll now see an error message when a video fails to upload to media and text blocks. - Images no longer appear partly transparent while they’re being uploaded. All color, all the time.
