Jetpack by WordPress.com 6.2

Jetpack by WordPress.com was updated to version 6.2, from version 6.1.1. Changelog:

  • Shortcodes: Added Gutenberg block for the [vr] shortcode.
  • AMP: Allow Jetpack features to work on AMP pages, and prevent Jetpack features from rendering to the front end at all.
  • Content Options: We now exclude Custom Post Types like Portfolio and Testimonial when we toggle content/excerpt via the Blog Display option in the customizer.
  • Cookies & Consent Widget: Added a “top” option for the cookie widget position. The existing bottom of the screen position is the default.
  • Tiled Galleries: use Photon if active when a Tiled Gallery links to media file.
  • Widgets: Deprecated the use of Widget IDs in the Twitter Timeline Widget given that Twitter deprecates Widget IDs on July, 27th 2018.
  • Contact Form: Fixed an issue with undefined variables and a warning being logged when submitting the Contact Form.
  • Contact Form: Fixed scrolling/height for very large contact forms.
  • Widgets: Fixed Cookies & Consent Widget’s bottom margin for themes that set a specific margin for forms.
  • Related Posts: Made it not try to fetch related posts for an unpublished post.
  • Sharing: Fixed an issue that resulted in wrong URLs for sharing on WhatsApp.
  • Sharing: Fixed the way we check if akismet is active and has a valid key by caching the result of the verification.
  • Shortcodes: Fixed the Facebook shortcode in wp-admin.
  • Widget Visibility: Widget Visibility: Fixed styling for MS Edge.
  • Widgets: Removed .widget class from Cookies and Consent widget styles since .widget is not used in every theme.
