  Went to login today and saw a new little thing on my page: “Powered by jetpack”. last I knew this was a plugin for WordPress that you had to add… and I haven’t.

  Did it just become a standard thing for everybody or something? Just wondering… (I soooo hate changes and surprises that sneak up on me…)

  The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

  We already had all the plugins individually listed here https://en.support.wordpress.com/plugins/ Jetpack is a mega plugin developed to provide wordpress.ORG users parity with wordpress.COM users.

  I d not know why the Powered by jetpack link has appeared on the bottom of our Admin wordpress.com pages. It will, of course, help jetpack’s page ranking so I will tag this thread for a Staff response.

  I checked my Plugins page and it’s listed there and active… but I definitely never activated it or added it or anything. I didn’t even think it was something we could use. I thought it was a .WordPress.org thing only.

  P.S. Go to https://wordpress.com/plugins/http:/nekonekomovielitterbox.wordpress.com/ and note the Upgrade links.

  OOPS! Go to https://wordpress.com/plugins/nekonekomovielitterbox.wordpress.com/ and note the Upgrade links.

  Yep I see those Upgrade links, but I haven’t clicked on any or the like, I assumed those were for additional services I’d have to pay for as a Business or Premium client.

  I noticed that “Infinite Scroll” is also listed as active, but I disabled that a while ago… and it’s not behaving like it’s active. I just checked.

  I was mostly wondering… does everybody else see Jetpack as up and active on their sites as well?

  I don’t know – sorry. Staff will answer that.

  Hi folks, nothing’s changed but the text you see that mentions Jetpack — just a marketing adjustment. The features of Jetpack have always been a part of WordPress.com. Jetpack is WordPress.com features and services on WordPress.org sites.

  Thanks. That’s what I thought. And, Jetpack links on every wordpress.COM site is a major page rank boost to jetpack.com. WordPress.com page rank is 9/10. Jetpack page rank is 3/10 so now watch it soar.

  Yeah, a little more name recognition with a side effect of better SEO can’t be so bad :)

  Enjoy your weekend, all!

  Cool to know… unexpected changes always freak me out. Even ones that aren’t really changes. :)
