And how about making the comments module more compatible with framework themes( e.g. Genesis)? * Forum: [Reviews](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/reviews/) In reply to: [[Facebook] Difficult but good and missing like box](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/difficult-but-good-and-missing-like-box/) * [GemmaW](https://wordpress.org/support/users/gemmaw/) * (@gemmaw) * [13 years, 6 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/difficult-but-good-and-missing-like-box/#post-7734527) * Just go to appearance > widgets and you’ll find the like box there, among other FB widgets. * Forum: [Reviews](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/reviews/) In reply to: [[Developer] It works! But doesn't have any use after installing the plugins it suggests.](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/the-concept-is-good-but/) * Thread Starter [GemmaW](https://wordpress.org/support/users/gemmaw/) * (@gemmaw) * [13 years, 7 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/the-concept-is-good-but/#post-7738912) * Not really. But as it’s just a bundler, perhaps a reminder to uninstall after using it would be useful (security measure). * Forum: [Reviews](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/reviews/) In reply to: [[Jetpack - WP Security, Backup, Speed, & Growth] Not worth the performance penalties!](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/not-worth-the-performance-penalties/) * [GemmaW](https://wordpress.org/support/users/gemmaw/) * (@gemmaw) * [13 years, 7 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/not-worth-the-performance-penalties/#post-7734649) * It’s only a real performance hit if you don’t take the time to deactivate the modules that you don’t want, with other factors taken into account such as if you are on a shared server, or you haven’t optimised your site very well (assuming you aren’t using plugins that are inefficient or otherwise are poorly coded). * It sounds to me you have bigger problems. * Forum: [Reviews](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/reviews/) In reply to: [[Jetpack - WP Security, Backup, Speed, & Growth] Untested outlet for abuse](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/untested-outlet-for-abuse/) * [GemmaW](https://wordpress.org/support/users/gemmaw/) * (@gemmaw) * [13 years, 7 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/untested-outlet-for-abuse/#post-7727472) * > 3.

Turns itself on * Jetpack is only activated when you choose to activate it after installation. Other than that I don’t know what you mean. * > with no option to disconnect features if you do not like them * You can deactivate each unwanted module easily. You need to click on the Learn More button on the module card, and a Deactivate button will appear next to it. This is partly why I’ve only given the plugin a 4-star rating. IMO Jetpack should have all modules disabled out of the box. I don’t like Automattic making assumptions about what users will find useful by default. but this is a minor complaint since users will generally be spending some time configuring the features they want anyway. * > 5.

No true representation of traffic. Often statistics are belied. e. > g. Some days there are more comments from users than JetPack reports page views. * You can easily disable the stats module if it bothers you that much. * No plugin is perfect, including Jetpack, but I don’t feel Jetpack deserved a 1-star rating. * Forum: [Plugins](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/plugins-and-hacks/) In reply to: [[Developer] oops dashboard is looking VERY strange after plugin install](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/oops-dashboard-is-looking-very-strange-after-plugin-install/) * [GemmaW](https://wordpress.org/support/users/gemmaw/) * (@gemmaw) * [13 years, 7 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/oops-dashboard-is-looking-very-strange-after-plugin-install/#post-3243992) * I had this too. Deactivating the Pig Latin plugin fixed it. It is meant to happen as that is the function of Pig Latin I believe. * But it would be nice to have a warning when installing Pig Latin through Developer of what will happen, so that people don’t assume the problem is with Developer. * Forum: [Plugins](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/plugins-and-hacks/) In reply to: [[yolink Search for WordPress] [Plugin: yolink Search for WordPress] I can't get an API key](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/plugin-yolink-search-for-wordpress-i-cant-get-an-api-key/) * Thread Starter [GemmaW](https://wordpress.org/support/users/gemmaw/) * (@gemmaw) * [14 years, 3 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/plugin-yolink-search-for-wordpress-i-cant-get-an-api-key/#post-2689790) * It’s fine thanks. It appears to be working. I had to test it on a bare-bones theme to see that it was indeed installed and working though. * That said, I may well have to get in touch later to signup for a paid plan, as that wasn’t working on your site before. * Thanks for your assistance. * Forum: [Plugins](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/plugins-and-hacks/) In reply to: [[What Would Seth Godin Do] [Plugin: What Would Seth Godin Do] really need to incorporate the user firstname](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/plugin-what-would-seth-godin-do-really-need-to-incorporate-the-user-firstname/) * [GemmaW](https://wordpress.org/support/users/gemmaw/) * (@gemmaw) * [14 years, 3 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/plugin-what-would-seth-godin-do-really-need-to-incorporate-the-user-firstname/#post-2283185) * I was wondering about this. * I don’t have a use for it on my site as there’s no need to register, but I have plans for creating membership sites etc where there will be logged in users. In these cases, how would I go about fetching the user’s first name and inserting that into the message? * Forum: [Plugins](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/plugins-and-hacks/) In reply to: [[yolink Search for WordPress] [Plugin: yolink Search for WordPress] I can't get an API key](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/plugin-yolink-search-for-wordpress-i-cant-get-an-api-key/) * Thread Starter [GemmaW](https://wordpress.org/support/users/gemmaw/) * (@gemmaw) * [14 years, 4 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/plugin-yolink-search-for-wordpress-i-cant-get-an-api-key/#post-2689748) * Thanks. I have the API key now. * But I’m at a loss as to what to do next. * I don’t see any evidence of it replacing native search, and I certainly can’t see a yolink widget to use. * I can’t use the registration wizard on your site because all that does is tells me to download, install and activate a widget, which apparently doesn’t exist. It doesn’t let me go on to the next step in the wizard. Viewing 9 replies - 1 through 9 (of 9 total)
