Here at Jetpack HQ we’ve been working hard over the last few weeks, finishing up a major update for Jetpack: we’re calling it Jetpack 1.2.

Among other highlights for this release are two of the most frequently requested features: support for Google+ in the Sharing toolbar and Email subscriptions, a feature which lets your readers get every single post on your blog direct to their email inbox.

Other new features and enhancements include:

  • Email subscriptions to your blog
  • Improved UI for showing new and updated Jetpack features
  • Better support for other languages
  • Smarter and safer Jetpack upgrades
  • New Shortcodes for VideoPress & Google Maps
  • Added LinkedIn and Google+ buttons to Sharing UI
  • Image Widget
  • RSS Links Widget

To download:

  • If you have an earlier version of Jetpack: go to Dashboard->Updates. If Jetpack isn’t listed, click the Check Again button (it may take a few minutes for Jetpack 1.2 to appear).
  • Or, go to your Dashboard. Under Plugins, click “Add New”. Type ‘Jetpack’ into the search field.
  • Or if you prefer to do it manually download the latest version here. For Support, go here.

    Updates to the Sharing toolbar constitute a ‘major rev’ for Jetpack? Seriously? Methinks a fair number Jetpack followers are waiting for more substantial additions, such as Highlander comments from WP.com. Amirite?

      Hi Will:

      The big investment for 1.2 was Subscriptions, a surprisingly powerful feature. We highly recommend you check it out. Works for comments as well as posts.

      Request noted for Highlander. Thanks.

    Thanks alot, crew! I hope this is the beginning of a bit more frequent updates . 🙂

    Two things though:

    1. Sorry for nagging about this, but the new comment function (the one available for wordpress.com users, where you can choose to login with wordpress/twitter/facebook). It’s really crucial; at least I think so. I tried both Disqus and Intense Debate, but I want something lighter, where I don’t need to sync my comments to an external site.

    Again, sorry for bringing it up only minutes after a really good update. I just feel like it’s such a wanted function, it would be unfair not to mention it.

    2. The e-mail subscriptions. Good job, but would it be possible to translate them into other languages (Swedish for me)? Preferably without having to go into the code.

    Like

    • Scott Berkun says:

      Hi Daniel. Thanks for the emphatic request for the WordPress.com comments UI. We hear you and will keep this in mind as we plan future releases.

      I know that sounds like the kind of generic response you often see when users of a service make requests, but I can promise it’s not generic. We actually keep track of requests and that does impact the decisions we make, and I am a real person and not a auto-comment request responder (Although, this is exactly the kind of thing a great auto-comment responder would say)..

      On #2 – The subscriptions UI is pretty sparse, it wouldn’t take much effort to manually translate. But we can see about supporting more languages in the future.

    • mdawaffe says:

  8. Daniel says:

    I found one more thing.

    The Google +1 button is too small, it would be great if it was the same height as the twitter and facebook buttons. Also, it loads a bit slower than any other button (but perhaps that issue is on the Google side).

    Another problem is that when adding something after the facebook like-button, there is a huge gap before the next button appears. Also, that may be due to buggy facebook-coding.

    Like

    • mdawaffe says:

      We’re working on cleaning up some of the inconsistencies in the Sharing buttons. The speed of the Google+ button probably isn’t something we can change, and is probably dependent on many external factors. For me, for example, it loads quite quickly, and some of the others are much slower.

      The Facebook button is notorious in its lack of width intelligence. The issue is with their implementation.

        Thank you for the update. I’d like to add to the “google+ button inconsistency” problem. If possible, I’d prefer it there was a choice beetween a simple link and a “smart button” like in the other cases, mostly so that the link could be styled to match the rest of the theme.

    Finally, an update! And with great new features – thank you! Now my initial nits…

    1) Google +1 sharing icon is too small compared to the others.
    2) I tried to subscribe to a comment and the site was listed on the user management web portal as “Jetpack” and hyperlinked.
    3) Sidebar subscription widget is pretty ugly – can we do something better?
    4) Related to blog post subscriptions, anyone know of a way to port folks from Feedburner?
    5) Related to not-so-hot formatting, anyone know where I can find info how to customize the Twitter sidebar widget via CSS?

    • mdawaffe says:

      You’re welcome 🙂

      1) Yup. We’re working on ironing out some of the inconsistencies.
      2) Can you please contact support with more information and a screenshot?
      3) The widget tries to do as little as possible to respect the theme’s widget styling.
      4) Importing subscriptions is something we’re considering, but aren’t yet sure the best way to handle everything.
      5) There’s some basic information at http://en.support.wordpress.com/css-basics/, but it’s not specific to Jetpack widgets, and it’s geared toward the WordPress.com audience. If you’re familiar with CSS, that link won’t help much: just look at the widgets markup and have fun. If you’re not familiar with CSS, there’s lots of forums that are helpful.

      To fix the +1 sizing

      Edit jetpack/modules/sharedaddy/sharing-sources.php

      Change:

      public function get_display( $post ) {
      return '<div class="googleplus1_button"><g:plusone size="small" callback="sharing_plusone" href="' . esc_attr( get_permalink( $post->ID ) ) . '">/g:plusone></div>';
      }

      To:
      public function get_display( $post ) {
      return '<div class="googleplus1_button"><g:plusone size="medium" callback="sharing_plusone" href="' . esc_attr( get_permalink( $post->ID ) ) . '">/g:plusone></div>';
      }

      In a future update perhaps give the user the option to select the size. Valid values as ‘small’ (15px), ‘medium’ (20px), and ‘tall’ (60px). For ‘standard’, which is 24px, omit the ‘size=’ attribute completely, it is the default. You could also give people the option of choosing the ‘inline’ annotation (annotation=”inline”) or no annotation (annotation=”none”). The default, which you use, is to omit the annotation attribute and get ‘bubble’. See http://www.google.com/webmasters/+1/button/index.html

        Well, As far as I know of, I don’t have this plugin installed and yet the Stats are not working.

        Strangely enough, about a month ago I received Jetpack Version 1.1.4-alpha, and that version is working fine ! Even now, I deleted the 1.2 version, reinstalled the alpha version again, and yes , it works fine. I would think, that, by comparing the two versions the people behind Jetpack should be able, by comparing the two versions, it must be possible to find what is causing the error.
        But, ok, I am not a programmer and I guess its not that simple…?
        Anyway, I am confident the will come up with a fix 🙂
        In the meantime, I run the alpha version .

        Same problem, same solution. Have not read this whole thread yet, so sorry if this is a duplicate, but I noticed one additional stats issue. Before I tried the above solution, I tried going to JetPack Stats/Configure, since occasionally plugin upgrades wipe out settings (and manually restoring them will bring back functionality).

        While re-submitting the configuration info didn’t fix anything, one thing I noticed while I was there was that the Visit Site Stats to see your stats wasn’t pointing to the right page. Instead of pointing to http://www.myblog.com/wp-admin/index.php?page=stats it pointed back to itself, http://www.myblog.com/wp-admin/admin.php?page=jetpack&configure=stats.

        Once I applied the above solution, the Visit Site Stats link fixed itself as well. So, not sure if this is already known, but the two seem related, so I thought I’d post in case it helps pinpoint the cause of the bug. Thanks for the plugin.

    Thanks for adding G+ and subscriptions, perhaps just in time with the latter if Feedburner dries up. Nothing has exploded here (stats ok, error free), but thar be minor cosmetic issues ahoy.

    1. As mentioned, G+ is dinky. The Share/More button also seems to be sitting higher. The vertical misalignment was bugging me. Temporarily CSS fixable: .sharing div.googleplus1_button { padding-top: 6px; } .sharing-anchor { margin-top: 3px; }

    2. When continuing on after hitting the G+ button, to share the post on Google+, the preview text is the hidden text from the top of page, not the post content. I.e. in Twenty Eleven: “Main menu. Skip to primary content. Skip to secondary content. Home; [the nav menu…]”. Is there any way to fix that? I’m using WP Super Cache on that site, if it matters.

The problem I have is that most of my site is not in WP (10,500 posts), it consists of flat html pages that I created before WP even existed and there’s a lot of them, maybe 15-20,000 pages in total. They’re all in the same root directory but of course WP doesn’t know they’re there. Moving them into WP is just not on. I have a custom Google engine that searches the entire directory and a WP search just for the WP posts but I don’t like the WP one. In the old days I used to be able to use a beautiful Boolean engine that was so flexible and even output thee results in all kinds of permutations to a text file (I’m talking System 7 or even earlier for the Mac).

        Oh, I see. Jetpack’s stats tracker only loads on WordPress generated pages, so it will track views on those pages.

        Problem with stats
        There seems to be an intermittent problem with the display. The numbers arrive but not the graph and sometimes nothing comes at all though it says ‘done’.

    Re the check boxes under comments: Be nice if you could tighten it up, put them on one line please it looks so ugly and a waste of space. An unfortunate aspect of the design of most blogs is the bad use of screen space, bloody great gaps everywhere, no room even for white space.

      One challenge of UI design is we have to make layout choices with different languages in mind. Most languages use 30-40% more space than English does, so if a blog is French or Spanish, much of that whitespace will be filled.

    Good update.

    To address the visual issue with Google+ see my comment here: http://jetpack.me/2011/11/17/announcing-jetpack-1-2/#comment-850

    I would still like to see a Facebook button that allows users to Share *or* Like, or at least let us use both. Sharing is better, IMHO, but some users will never use it but will ‘Like’ things.

    1.2 – what a big fat load of nothing.

    You guys need to actually listen to what customers want: the social media comment functionality.

    I notice that every now again, Shortlink is duplicating URLS. I’ve had about 4-5 links duplicated. Am I alone on this?

    Was there ever a solution to the disappearing stats issue?

    installed Jetpack 1.2.2 last night. Since then I’ve been seeing the following error message when I click on “Site Stats”:

    You are not a member of this site.

    If you have just installed the WordPress.com Stats plugin, this error probably appeared because the API key entered in the plugin belongs to a different WordPress.com user account.

    The owner of the API key must visit this site’s stats page to grant access.

    Items to note:
    1. I’ve been using Jetpack for well over 6 months with no problems
    2. My blog (self-hosted) is connected to my wordpress.com account.

    * Might be nice to have option to place the Sharing buttons at top or bottom of post (I prefer mine at the top) or maybe even both

    * For Subscriptions is there any feasible away to not lose the subscriptions I have piled up via the old Subscribe to comments plugin? http://txfx.net/wordpress-plugins/subscribe-to-comments/ Or should I just let it go and start anew?

    For email subscribers, I only want the title and perhaps an excerpt sent so that readers come back to the site. That way they 1) will be recorded in our overall stats 2) will read the post within the environment it was meant to be read in 3) will have the option to easily share the post via Facebook, Twitter etc. 4) will be more likely to leave comments etc.

    As an initial test, I subscribed to my own site and found that the whole post was sent to me by email. After deactivating the subscription option I noticed that only the title was sent to me. It would be great to have this option when permanently activated. Is there any way to currently do this? In the meantime I intend to leave the subscription option deactivated, which is a shame.

    This thing of subscriptions on Jetpack is bull. It sends entire posts to subscribers and that limits the amount of traffic coming to the website, some of the subscribers end up coping the posts to their sites without acknowledging the source. It must be addressed with immediate effect.

    I love this plugin, but I can’t use it with my theme. What happens is, as soon as the plugin is activated, all my widgets disappear from the widget area. Also, I can not deactivate the plugin from the plugin page. I have to delete Jetpack from the server. I am using a premium theme from Themeforest. I’d love to have a solution. Anyone?
