[WordPress' Beta Tester plugin](https://wordpress.org/plugins/wordpress-beta-tester/) on your sites, and switch to using WordPress 5.3 Beta. It will allow you to test Jetpack with the upcoming version of WordPress scheduled to be released in a few weeks. - -### Dashboard - -#### Updated design - -When you load Jetpack > Dashboard with this release, you may notice that the buttons now look a bit different. We've indeed updated the dashboard's design to better match the updated design of the WordPress dashboard in the upcoming version of WordPress. - -If you are running WordPress 5.3 RC already, I would invite you to compare the look of the buttons and elements of the dashboard with the look of the Jetpack dashboard. Let us know if you find anything that looks out of place. - -#### New disconnection experience - -From now on, whenever you want to disconnect your site from WordPress.com, Jetpack will present you with some details about your Jetpack usage and some links to help you fully understand the consequences of disconnecting your site. - -To test this, head over to Jetpack > Dashboard and click on the link to "Manage Site Connection". A new modal will appear with information about your site. Let us know what you think about the new modal, and make sure the data displayed there is correct. +## 8.0 ### Blocks -#### AMP - -Both the MailChimp and the SlideShow blocks now work well with the AMP plugin. - -To test this, try adding either of those blocks to a site where you use the AMP plugin. When visiting your site on an AMP view, you should be able to use the 2 blocks with no issues. - -#### Contact Form - -We've added a new option to the Form block. When adding or editing a block in the block editor, you should now see a new "Confirmation Message" setting in the block sidebar. That setting will allow you to do one of 3 things when a visitor submits a form on your site: -- Display a summary of the form they just submitted. This used to be the only option until now. -- Redirect to a new URL, either on your site or anywhere else. -- Display a custom confirmation message. - -Try to edit existing forms, and creating new ones. In both cases, the 3 options should behave as advertized. - -#### VideoPress - -This should be a big improvement for folks using Jetpack Videos on their site and using the Block editor. Until now, you had to go to the WordPress.com dashboard or to Media > Library to be able to upload videos to VideoPress. You would then go to the block editor and insert those videos you had uploaded earlier. - -From now on, you can do everything from the editor. To test this, you'll need a Premium or Professional plan on your site. Then, go to Jetpack > Settings > Performance and make sure the Jetpack Videos feature is active. -Then, go to Posts > Add New, insert a Video Block, and try to upload a video. You should see the upload take place and the video should appear inside a VideoPress player in the editor. - -You'll also want to make sure the Video Block still works well when the VideoPress option is inactive. - -### Connection - -We've made some more changes to the connection flow, so you'll want to pay extra attention to the connection flow when initially configuring Jetpack on your site. - -- Try using a different prompt to start the connection process. You can start connecting from Jetpack > Dashboard, but also using the banners in the Plugins menu or in the main dashboard page. -- When in Jetpack > Dashboard before you start the connection process, make sure everything on the page works well. +#### Mailchimp -### Search +We've added 2 new options to the existing Mailchimp block. You'll locate them in the block sidebar when adding a block to a post or page. -**Note: Jetpack Search is currently only available for sites using Jetpack Professional. If you do not use this plan on your site yet, you'll want to upgrade first.** +- If you've defined groups in your [Maichimp Audience settings](https://mailchimp.com/help/create-new-audience-group/), you'll see that option in the block sidebar. +- In your Audience Settings, you can also define custom Audience fields and MERGE tags. You can use those to create a new field for your forms, and you can add info about that field to your block settings in the block editor. This will allow you to track where subscriptions are coming from. -We're currently working on several improvements to [Jetpack Search](https://jetpack.com/support/search/). We're aiming to deliver a better experience whenever someone launches a search on a site using what we call "Instant Search". This feature is currently in Beta, and we need your help and feedback to iron out any bugs before the feature is made available to everyone. +Give that a try, try using the forms you create, and see if the fields are updated accordingly when looking at your subscriber list on Maichimp.com. Bonus points if you also try to sign up when using the AMP plugin on the site! -To enable the new Instant Search feature, add the following to your site's `wp-config.php` file: +#### Pinterest -```php -define( 'JETPACK_SEARCH_PROTOTYPE', true ); -``` +This release introduces **a new Pinterest block**. This block allows you to insert various Pinterest links (pins, boards, profiles) that will be automatically converted into a Pinterest embed in your posts. -Once you've done so, select a theme, make sure the Search feature is enabled under Jetpack > Settings > Search, and then head over to Appearance > Customize to add the Jetpack Search widget to your site. +To test this, try adding various Pinterest URLs (short and long), and see that they are displayed properly in the editor and on the front-end of your site. -Once that's done, you can start testing that new search form on your site, and let us know how that goes! +#### Ratings -### SSO +This release also brings **a new Ratings block** to your site. Rate movies, books, songs, recipes — anything you can put a number on. To get started, go to the block editor and search for "Star" or "Rating". -When on WordPress 5.3 and with the SSO feature active, you'll want to make sure the login form always looks good, with no layout issues or missing WordPress.com button when logging out / in. +Play with the different block settings and let us know how it goes. -### Themes +### Shortcodes -WordPress 5.3 will ship with a brand new default theme, Twenty Twenty. We've updated Jetpack to make sure that widgets, sharing buttons, related posts, and other theme-dependent features like Infinite Scroll work well with that new theme. If you'd like to give that a try, you can enable the Twenty Twenty Theme on your site. To do so: +Jetpack includes a Recipe shortcode that allows you to display recipes in your blog posts, with a nice layout and a markup optimized for search engines. In this release, we're introducing 3 new elements to the recipe display: +- A new `cooktime` attribute. +- A new `preptime` attribute. +- A new `rating` attribute. +- A `recipe-nutrition` shortcode to display nutrition information about your recipe. +- A `recipe-image` shortcode that can be used to display a single image anywhere within your recipe. -1. Download a zip of the theme [here](https://github.com/wordpress/twentytwenty). -2. Unzip the archive, remove `-master` from the unzipped directory, rezip it. -3. Upload that new zip file to your site, and activate it. -4. Try to use the theme without changing any of the colors in Appearance > Customize, then try again after applying custom colors. -5. Make sure that all Jetpack features work well with the new theme. +You can try to use all that data by adding your own recipe to a new blog post. [Here is an example of recipe markup you can paste in the code view, inside a classic block](https://gist.github.com/jeherve/dd9d8e9503d08a69f81e56d2bee516dd). ### Others
