Jetpack 4.4.2 is a small but important release that provides compatibility with WordPress 4.7, the latest version of WordPress that was released this week.
Custom CSS now in WordPress
The Custom CSS feature in Jetpack is now integrated in the new Customizer-based CSS editor introduced in WordPress 4.7.
Jetpack’s Custom CSS was very useful for making small (or more significant) changes to your site’s CSS without needing to modify your theme files or create a custom child theme. With WordPress 4.7 introducing the Additional CSS feature, we wanted to make sure that people previously using Jetpack’s Custom CSS can still use the edits they’ve made in the past and use this new WordPress CSS editor seamlessly in the future.
Other improvements
We’ve also shipped a number of other enhancements and bug fixes in this release. A few highlights include:
- Improved compatibility with the
wp-missed-schedule plugin.
- Fixed a bug that would create an infinite loop when removing the featured tag from the tag list.
- Fixed an issue where WordPress help tabs were being hidden.
- Improved the dashboard page to work better when there is no backup data yet.
- Improved overall performance by clearing out unneeded scheduled jobs.
