    Hello,

    I am pretty new to WordPress and am just wanting to know if connecting to the Jetpack plugin/feature have any affect to my www.remarpro.com? When I clicked on it; it says that it wants to connect to wordpress.com. I don’t want to switch to wordpress.com as I just setup www.remarpro.com and that’s the wordpress I want to continue using. Is that what it means when it says its connecting to wordpres.com?

    I appreciate your time.

    Regards,
    Daniel

  • Have the same questions here, plus:

    Will that change my website URL? I want mine unchanged
    Can the plugin and all its resulting change be undone by uninstalling it, in case something went wrong or the plugin changed anything I didn’t want?
    Are they cons about this plugin? Like, would it be better for some types of persons or blog to avoid it?

    Connecting your site to your WordPress.com account won’t create any new site on WordPress.com. It won’t change your site URL either.

    It will only add a new menu with options under Jetpack > Settings, where you will be able to configure and turn options on and off on your site.

    Connecting your site to a WordPress.com account basically means that you open a communication channel between your site and WordPress.com. You can then use this communication channel by turning on specific modules under Jetpack > Settings.

    For example, if you were to turn on the Subscriptions module, your site would then use the communication channel to notify WordPress.com every time you publish a new post. Once we get notified, we would then send notification emails to your subscribers for you, from WordPress.com.

    Can the plugin and all its resulting change be undone by uninstalling it, in case something went wrong or the plugin changed anything I didn’t want?

    Yes. Like with any other plugin, you can deactivate it at any time by going to the Plugins menu in your dashboard. Once a plugin is deactivated, it doesn’t run on your site anymore.

    Are they cons about this plugin? Like, would it be better for some types of persons or blog to avoid it?

    When you open that communication channel I talked about earlier, it means that a third-party service, WordPress.com, starts having access to some of your site data. That means that your commenters’ email addresses will also be stored on WordPress.com, for example. If you use the Stats module, that means that your stats will be stored on WordPress.com. If you’re not comfortable with that, or if your site deals with private data that shouldn’t be shared with any third-party, Jetpack is probably not the plugin for you.

    I hope this clarifies things a bit. Let me know if you have more questions!

    Cool, thanks!

    I actually decided to install and activate it yesterday and so far it’s great. There’s a good amount of useful features which would otherwise require coding, in fact I started on wp.com for its ease of use but I needed my blog to be able to embed javascript stuff and wanted to customize its design beyond wp.com’s limits – may it require some coding. So with the Jetpack I think it’s the best of both worlds. Though I read that you should’nt install too much plugins as it will slow down your website efficiency a bit.
