Jetpack 7.5 is now available for download, and it makes every step of using Jetpack smoother. “Magic Links” simplify logging in to mobile, UI improvements make using Jetpack a whole lot more intuitive, and bug fixes and compatibility improvements keep things working as expected with a range or other hosts and plugins.

Here’s more on what’s new this month:

Magic Links

Now you can log in to the WordPress mobile app in one click — no passwords, no password manager, no repeated incorrect logins from typing on a tiny phone keyboard.

Just visit the main Jetpack dashboard in your site’s admin area, and email yourself a magic link by clicking “Log in to the WordPress mobile app” shown here:

Check your email on your mobile device and click the link, and voilà! You’re logged in.

Sanding Down the Edges

Every little bit of the Jetpack UI — every icon, button, or phrase — contributes to a great Jetpack experience. For this release, we’re focusing on the words: going through every title, call to action, or short tip to make sure they give you clear descriptions with sufficient detail and use consistent language. With 7.5, we’ve cleaned up our microcopy so you’re able to move around Jetpack secure in your ability to navigate it and use everything it offers.

While we were in there, we also removed an extra step in the setup process and we’ve added clearer descriptions of Jetpack plans, taking some of the friction out of configuring things.

And more

We’ve been busy squashing bugs and improving Jetpack’s compatibility with hosting environments and other plugins. You can check the full changelog for more details. To use the latest version of Jetpack on your site, update your existing installation or install Jetpack.

Please note that this release requires that you run a recent version of WordPress (5.2 or newer), as well as a version of PHP higher than PHP 5.6. If you use an outdated version of WordPress or PHP, we recommend that you update your site to the latest version as soon as possible.

Update July 2nd: we released a new Jetpack version 7.5.1 with no functionality changes, but fixes a bug when attempting to delete the Jetpack plugin. It also addresses the new PHP minimum requirement in Jetpack 7.5.

Update July 4th: we released a new version of Jetpack, 7.5.2, to address issues happening when a site’s connection to WordPress.com is set to “Safe Mode”.

Do you use the Gutenberg plugin on your Jetpack-connected site? Many do, as it brings you all the latest improvements to the WordPress block editor before they become available in WordPress itself.

If you use this plugin alongside our Form block to add a contact form to your site, you may have noticed an error recently when trying to make changes to your forms in the block editor. The latest Jetpack release fixes this issue so you can start editing forms again. Head over to the Plugins section of your site’s dashboard to update to Jetpack 7.4.1 right now.

Jetpack 7.4 is now available for download. This is a general maintenance release that aims to fix several bugs and improve the flows around installing and configuring Jetpack on your site.

Here’s what’s new this month.

Today, we released a minor update to Jetpack to make some new features in Jetpack 7.3 better.

Jetpack 7.3.1 includes a few minor updates like clarifying labels for the debug data in the new Site Health integration, removing a duplicate option in the Block Editor for Likes and Sharing, and more like that. Check out the full changelog for everything.

Creating a new site is exciting! If you’re like us, you want to launch it as soon as possible. To cut down on setup time, the latest version of Jetpack automatically enables fewer features to get you going faster give you more control over your site’s experience. When you’re starting a site, you also want to know that there’s help when you need it, so all Jetpack sites running WordPress 5.2—the latest version, also released today—have built-in monitoring and support tools

The more you can tailor your website for your visitors, the more likely you are to engage them. Jetpack 7.2 adds two new options for customizing your content.

Jetpack 7.1.1 is now available for download. Following yesterday’s release, we discovered a few issues that impacted all sites using the latest version of Jetpack.

• The Mailchimp, Tiled Gallery, and Slideshow blocks are now fully compatible with Internet Explorer 11; you should not see any errors when using those blocks and visiting your site using IE11.
• We fixed notices that would appear on sites that did not use the Publicize feature.
• We solved some conflicts between the feature suggestions appearing on the Plugins screen and other plugins displayed there.
• We’ve made some changes to improve performance of the Top Posts and the Blog Stats widgets on high-traffic sites.
• We fixed an issue that prevented displaying subscribers count in the subscription forms.

The full changelog has more details on this update, and we’re able to answer all your questions via our support channels.

Thanks for your support!

We’ve been working hard to bring you more tools to build an attractive and engaging site. This time around, we’re focusing on a series of blocks that will be useful for all sites and businesses in particular.
