Overview

Jetpack adds powerful features, but sometimes we don’t want them all… This light-weigth but effective plugin brings additional control over Jetpack.

Features

  1. Blacklist / remove individual Jetpack modules.
  2. Optionally prevent module auto-activation on connection or after an upgrade.
  3. Optionally run Jetpack “unplugged”, without a WordPress.com connection.
  4. Single site and Multisite compatible.

Examples

In most use cases, a carefully considered combination of Jetpack modules can be a really good thing. But not always is much consideration being done beforehand. Or site admins just don’t know all the implications…

  • Using Jetpack on a network? Then network incompatible WAF (Web Application Firewall) module should be blacklisted to prevent accidental activatio…

A nitpicky review :)
by jqz·4 years ago

The latest version (1.6) requires JetPack >= 8.8.0 for using JetPack without a connected wordpress.com account. I think it would have been (and still could be) better if you test the JetPack version and use the jetpack_development_mode or jetpack_offline_mode filter as appropriate (though I don’t see why Automattic decided to rename it).

If already using a plugin such as Unplug JetPack, ‘Use Jetpack modules without a WordPress.com connection‘ is checked but greyed out. However, the setting from the other plugin is overwritten by your filter which actually sets it to false (unless it has been previously saved as checked whilst not greyed out). You need to respect the previously set value passed to your Jetpack_Module_Control::development_mode() filter instead of using false as the default (and pass that value to get_option('jetpack_mc_development_mode') as the default).

It would also be nice if that setting was initialized on the basis of other installed plugins that affect it, so after deactiviting other plugins it retained its value. I think you’d actually need to invoke the jetpack_offline_mode (or jetpack_development_mode) filter (or perhaps use the Automattic\Jetpack\Status::is_offline_mode()/is_development_mode() method) to find out what other plugins are actually setting.

Otherwise looks very good and slimline (just one PHP file with fewer than 1,000 lines).

great plugin
by Eduard Doloc·6 years ago

like the fact that you can ban(blacklist) features in jetpack! Very good considering that jetpacks tends to do what it wants on your website.
