Additional CSS Issue

As of 10 Sep 2025 this has been fixed. you can now activate editing css in settings-> general. See the CSS page for more details.

In the most recent update to Glow blogs we updated the version of Jetpack that we use. Jetpack no longer supports Additional CSS. This is no longer available from the customiser or in the Styles of the Site Editor.

CSS already added to sites continues to function. Native WordPress support Additional CSS but not in multi-sites like Glow Blogs. The developers are investigating how to implement this and we hope to enable Additional CSS soon.

Jet Pack Settings Issue

Fixed 27 May 2025

Jetpack

Fixed: A problem with the Jetpack icon not being visitable in the dashboard. Access to turn on and off the jetpack modules has been restored to the dashboard. The interface has changed a little. The Modules have been split into tabbed sections in the Setting screen.

You can access the older simpler interface by using the Modules link in the settings or Dashboard.


Some sites with the Jetpack plugin enabled do not have a link in the Dashboard Sidebar.

Our developers are aware of the problem and are working on a fix.

Workaround

The Jetpack settings can be accessed from the Plugins screen:

Screenshot of the Link to the settings on the Jetpack listing on the Plugins page of the dashboard.

Clicking on the Settings link under the Jetpack listing will take you to the Jetpack settings.

Unfortunately there is not a link to the Auto Reply page which allows you to reply automatically to contact forms. You can find that by adding /wp-admin/admin.php?page=jetpack_auto_reply_settings to the url of your blog.

Jetpack sharing IE 11 Bug

We have discover a small issue with the Jetpack sharing module on Glow Blogs.

If Facebook and Twitter are selected to hide behind the share button they don’t show in IE11 it doesn’t work with Official buttons so the other option needs selected or they have to be shown individually.

We use the Icon Only setting here on the help blog.

We hope to fix this in a update soon.
