Feature Hints

Avoid installing unnecessary plugins; Feature Hints tell you what Jetpack can already do.

Jetpack offers many useful features, and it can be hard to remember all of them. It can lead to installing an additional plugin to do something that Jetpack can already do. Feature Hints prompts you that Jetpack might already be able to accomplish what you’re trying to do.

How Feature Hints work

When you’re in the plugin repository looking for a feature that matches directly something that Jetpack already does, we’ll add a search result to the top of the list, highlighting the Jetpack features which match the searched keywords.

We intentionally do not use the names of other plugins in these searches to avoid conflicts, but there may be some overlap with generic terms.

Use Feature Hints

To use Feature Hints, follow these steps:

1. Start at Plugins → Add New in your wp-admin dashboard.
2. Search for a feature.
3. You may see a “Jetpack: [feature]” card appear among the search results.
4. You can then:
   • enable the Jetpack feature
   • learn more about it
   • hide that feature suggestion from the results

Disable Feature Hints

You can suppress individual feature suggestions by clicking the “Hide this suggestion” link in a search hint result card.

If you’ve dismissed more than two hints, no further hints will be displayed.

To disable Feature Hints entirely, add the following snippet to your theme’s functions.php file or a functionality plugin:

/**
 * Remove Jetpack's Feature Hints.
 *
 * @see https://jetpack.com/?p=59210
 */
add_filter( 'jetpack_psh_active', '__return_false' );
