We've added a first block, for the Markdown feature. You can test it by going to Posts > Add New on your site after installing the Gutenberg plugin, or switching to WordPress 5.0 Beta. +To test this Beta, it's best to be running the latest Beta version of WordPress, 5.0 Beta 3 at the moment. You can also install the new default theme, Twenty Nineteen, to test our plugin's compatibility with this as well. -Try adding the module to your posts, use it, switch between editing and previewing, and let us know what you think about it. +To install the Twenty Nineteen theme on your site, start by downloading the latest version of the theme from [here](https://github.com/WordPress/twentynineteen/archive/master.zip). Unzip it, rename the folder to `twentynineteen`, rezip it, then upload and activate it on your site. -### Calypsoify +Once you are ready to start testing, we would recommend that you try the following actions: -If you are used to manage your site via the WordPress.com interface, you can now click on the "Plugins" link in Calypso and be redirected to a WordPress.com themed Plugins page in your site's dashboard (wp-admin). +- Activate different features, and deactivate others under Jetpack > Settings. +- Go to Posts > Add New, and ensure that you can publish new posts. +- Try updating old posts as well, and see that you can. +- Try adding some of [our shortcodes](https://jetpack.com/support/shortcode-embeds/) to your posts, and see that they work well. +- Try adding [the classic editor](https://wordpress.org/plugins/classic-editor/) plugin and see that there are no errors in the editor. +- Try publishing posts and see that Publicize and subscriptions still work. +- Try adding widgets to your site, and see that they look good with the Twenty Nineteen theme. -To test this change, try the following: - -**Pre-testing:** - -- You must have an active Jetpack connection -- Open/watch your browser console for errors. - -**Plugins:** - -- Visit `/wp-admin/plugins.php?calypsoify=1`: see the new skin -- Visit `/wp-admin/` with no params. Skin should be removed. Note: you can also click to go "back" to Calypso, and then when in Calypso, click "wp-admin". -- Repeat the above steps after collapsing the WordPress menu -- Repeat the above steps with multiple admin color schemes -- Install a few plugins that have settings pages and ensure that they are displaying properly when Claypsoified. -- Ensure that none of the .js or .css are loading when not Calypsoified in both the admin and front end. - -**Gutenberg:** - -- Install the Gutenberg plugin -- Visit `wp-admin/post-new.php?calypsoify=1` to view the Calypso skin -- You should not see the sidebar (It's meant to be a "full screen" experience) - -**RTL** - -- Enable an RTL language. -- Repeat the above testing instructions to ensure everything looks ok - -### Site accelerator - -In Jetpack 6.6 we started beta-testing a new Jetpack feature that allows you to serve a lot of CSS and JS files from the WordPress.com CDN instead of using your site's resources. In Jetpack 6.7, we're removing the Beta label and making that feature available to everyone! - -To test this, you can go to Jetpack > Settings > Writing in your dashboard and turn the feature on. - -- You can choose to speed up both images and static files, thus enabling the image CDN (formerly known as Photon) and the new feature. -- You can choose to only turn one of the features on. - -When turning on the file feature, you should see the following: - -1. All Jetpack's CSS and JS files are now served from a CDN, using the `c0.wp.com` domain. -2. All core WordPress CSS and JS files are also served from the CDN. -3. If you use the WooCommerce plugin on your site, its files should also benefit from the CDN. - -You can check your site's source code for that domain once you've activated the feature. - -### Shortcodes - -As you may know, [Polldaddy has changed its name to Crowdsignal](https://crowdsignal.com/2018/10/18/introducing-crowdsignal/). We are consequently updating the shortcode and embed methods available in Jetpack to match the new service. From now on, both the old embed methods and the new ones (using the new domains) should work. - -To test this, you can try adding polls and surveys to your site using both the old and the new domains. You can create new polls and surveys [here](https://polldaddy.com/dashboard/). Once you've done so, try inserting them into your posts using any of the methods available: -- By pasting an embed code with some JavaScript. -- By pasting a URL on its own line in the WordPress editor. -- By pasting a `[polldaddy]` or `[crowdsignal]` shortcode provided in the "Collect responses" area of your Crowdsignal dashboard. - -Try to replace polldaddy by crowdsignal in all the tests you make, and check that both the new and old domains work. - -We've also made some changes to [the Gist shortcode](https://en.support.wordpress.com/gist/) in this release. It should now be fully compatible with the AMP plugin. - -To test this, try installing the AMP plugin on your site (either the current Stable version or [the Beta](https://github.com/Automattic/amp-wp/releases/tag/1.0-RC1-built)), and try adding Gists, using different formats, to one of your posts. Here are some examples: - -```html -oEmbed: Full gist: - -https://gist.github.com/sebastianbenz/1d449dee039202d8b7464f1131eae449 - -oEmbed: Linking to a file via in a Gist: - -https://gist.github.com/sebastianbenz/1d449dee039202d8b7464f1131eae449#file-sw-html - -oEmbed: Linking to file without username in URL. - -https://gist.github.com/1d449dee039202d8b7464f1131eae449#file-sw-html - -Example from WordPress.com docs: - -[gist https://gist.github.com/2314628 /] - -Second example from WordPress.com docs: - -[gist]2314628[/gist] -``` - -### Sitemaps - -We've made multiple changes to the Sitemaps feature in this release. To test this: - -- Try visiting the Sitemaps right after upgrading. -- Try deactivating the sitemaps feature, activate it back, and then immediately visit the Sitemaps pages. -- Under Settings > Reading, set a static front page and a blog page, and check that they both appear in the sitemaps, without being duplicated. - -### Twenty Nineteen - -This release also includes support for the new default theme, Twenty Nineteen. To test, start by installing the latest version of the theme from [here](https://github.com/WordPress/twentynineteen/archive/master.zip). Then, try to use the following features: - -- Add Infinite Scroll support. -- Support for Responsive Videos. Test this by inserting videos in your posts and seeing them on mobile devices. -- Add Content Options support for author-bio, blog-display, post-details, and featured-images. You can see those settings under Appearance > Customize > Content Options. -- Style widgets and shortcodes to match the style of the theme. Try this by adding Jetpack widgets and shortcodes to your site. +**At any point during your testing, remember to [check your browser's JavaScript console](https://codex.wordpress.org/Using_Your_Browser_to_Diagnose_JavaScript_Errors#Step_3:_Diagnosis) and see if there are any errors reported by Jetpack there.** **Thank you for all your help!**
