 * Hello there,
 * I’ve noticed that if I deliberately disconnect Jetpack then my Widget Visibility
   settings are lost, i.e. the external appearance of the site shows none of my 
   conditional settings I rely upon.
 * I was wondering then what happens if my site temporarily loses connection to 
   jetpack.wordpress.com due to say a network problem or even a problem with jetpack.
   wordpress.com? Do the pages still show their widget visibility settings or are
   they lost until the connection is restored?
 * In general then the question is: What criteria must be met for widget visibility
   settings to show up on the externally facing website?
 * Thanks,
    Jim

 * That won’t affect your widget visibility settings. Disconnecting Jetpack from
   WordPress.com manually, on the other hand, will, just as deactivating the plugin
   would.

 * OK – thanks Jeremy.
 * So any Jetpack code remains on the pages until Jetpack is disconnected or the
   Jetpack plugin is deactivated. When that happens, any Jetpack code is stripped
   from the pages. Jetpack plugin settings though are saved until the plugin is 
   deleted, which is why Jetpack can be disconnected then reconnected without having
   to re-enter settings. Is that about right?

 * Exactly!
