Änderungsprotokoll

4.0 – 2026-11-04

Added

• Activity Log: Link backups to that backup in the Backup dashboard, which now opens any backup from a link, not only those on the activity page it shows. Backups that finished with warnings can now be opened and restored there too.
• Connection: Add a Connected view to the Users page listing users with a linked WordPress.com account.
• Connection: Show connection errors on the Connectors card, and keep showing the connection owner when their account connection breaks.
• Connection: Surface SSL certificate verification failures reported by WordPress.com as a connection error notice.
• Connection: Transfer connection ownership to another administrator without leaving your site.
• Connection: Transfer connection ownership to another connected administrator from the Connectors page.

• My Jetpack: Allow the Automattic for Agencies banner to be dismissed.
• My Jetpack: Recognize Jetpack Pro subscriptions and licenses.

• Connection: Link the connection owner’s name on the Connectors card to their profile, and update the card without reloading the page when a non-owner disconnects their account.
• Connection: Show a clear message when connecting the site to WordPress.com from the Connectors card fails, instead of WordPress.com’s raw error text.
• Connection: Show every connection error in one notice, each with the account it affects, and link to Site Health when a firewall is blocking WordPress.com.

• Link the failed download screen to a guide on how to fix it.
• My Jetpack: answer module switch clicks immediately, and explain what happened when a change fails.
• My Jetpack: Connect a WordPress.com account from feature cards that need one. Show feature states through switches or buttons instead of redundant Active or Inactive badges, and show host restrictions below descriptions. Leave features out of Available when their only action is an install you cannot make.

• Replace the dashboard with a redesigned one, where you can browse each backup’s files, restore or download a backup, and change when backups run and how long they are kept.

Fixed

• Activity Log: Fix the page overlapping the admin menu in right-to-left languages.

• Connection: Hide connection error notices from users who cannot fix the connection.
• Connection: Let users without admin access reconnect their own broken account from the connection error notice.

• Connection: Stop showing a duplicate account notice when your WordPress.com email differs from your site email only in letter case.

• JITM: Fix missing messages and a console error on sites without the Jetpack plugin active.

• Report a WordPress.com failure on the Backup plan check as an error instead of as a missing plan.

• Stop a slow or failing WordPress.com from reading as a missing Backup plan.
