Don’t update to 4.3

  • What ever you do, don’t update to version 4.3 or above because the plugin goes from a great one to one that is laughable.

    The dashboard and settings page is a completely unusable small joke and there is now no longer a menu link to the stats page.

    Stick with version 4.2 or below or get yourself another plugin to do what you want Jetpack to do.

    Thanks for the feedback!

    Sorry to hear that! Do you get any errors when trying to access the pages, or when trying to change some of the settings?

    That’s indeed one of the changes we’ve made in Jetpack 4.3. Rest assured though, that’s not a final change: depending on your feedback, and the different ideas and suggestions we receive from other Jetpack users, we may decide to bring the menu item back. You can follow our progress here:

    I would also recommend checking the video I posted here to find other ways to quickly get to the Sats page:

    Unfortunately I don’t have a 48 inch 4K HD screen attached to my laptop which means I am not able to red most of the text on the dashboard or settings page to tell you if there is a error message being shown.

    Not sure why you would want to limit the size of the display to this extent.

    Thanks for the screenshot! The default width of the settings area is fairly standard; it’s as wide as the content area of the forums here, for example. The default font size is also standard; it’s bigger than on these forums for example.

    The problem is, although I can see you were able to increase the size of some of the elements of the interface to make them more readable, most of the text size didn’t change at all. That’s definitely a bug, as you should able to change the text size by just increasing your browser’s zoom level.

    That seems to work for me in Chrome. Here is how the settings screen looks like when zoom is set to 125% for example:

    Firefox also works well. Here is the zoom level set to 120%:
    https://i.wpne.ws/hPK6

    This doesn’t work in your browser, though. Could you tell me more about browser, and the computer you’re using?

    Thanks!
