    Jetpack: Add the modules screen to the menu

    For those who use Jetpack regularly, you’ll probably appreciate that, in recent years, the old screen that listed all of the modules has disappeared, to be replaced by a series of tabbed settings screens. Which is great, except some of the modules aren’t included (including some of those which default as switched on).

    The modules screen is still accessible but a link to it is tucked away at the bottom of the current settings screen.

    So, I’ve created a quick (slightly hacky) script to add it to the main Jetpack menu.

    We need to talk about menus

    Specifically, we need to talk about the administrator menus in WordPress.

    Activate a plugin and you may find yourself bombarded with admin messages (some dismissible and some not), feature pointers, new menus of all hues and some even divert the installation process immediately to their own screens. Some of these interrupt any bulk activation process too, preventing other plugins – temporarily – from activating.

    Over a series of posts, I’m going to look at just one of these – the menus – and explain what’s going on, why they’re so wrong, and bombard you with that thing that politicians hate: facts.

  • Death of an icon

    Death of an icon

    My WordPress plugins have been in desperate need of a lick-of-paint when it comes to the images used on them for a while – and by “images”, I mean those used in the WordPress repository.

    There are actually 2 you can provide – an avatar and a banner image. I’ll come to the banner in a bit, but I decided that I needed a single source for the avatars, so they all had a matching design.

    This site’s footprint

    I ran the above using a carbon footprint calculator available at websitecarbon.com. Bearing in mind I’ve done nothing to keep the footprint low, I’m quite happy with the result of this.
