Mention Jetpack Rewind at WordPress Updates page #8853

WordPress shows this message at Updates page:

Important: before updating, please back up your database and files. For help with updates, visit the Updating WordPress Codex page.

Since my backups are handled with Jetpack, should we mention it here somehow?

We have a Backups JITM showing up there, but you may have dismissed those messages in the past maybe?

@withinboredom What are the conditions to display that JITM today? Does the content change when you can use Rewind?

withinboredom commented 6 years ago

The content is mostly agnostic, or specifically mentions Jetpack Backups in some places, if it's available. The jitm mentioned at the top will appear on the first wp-admin page view once JB takes over, IIRC. Summoning @dereksmart as I don't know much about it.

withinboredom commented 6 years ago

Ah, I misread the question! Yeah, we should do a jitm like that! 🤦‍♂️ ... my brain is a little fried this afternoon, sorry!

simison commented 6 years ago

@jeherve @withinboredom yep so this is in a situation where I've enabled backups already.

Could we suppress or rather change the notification WP core gives here? Having "please back up your database and files" -call to action might confuse customers. Replacing it with this would be neat:

Jetpack is handling your backups. Use Rewind if something goes wrong with the update. For help with updates, visit the Updating WordPress Codex page.

I should add that this could encourage more people to hit that "update" button. Fear of breaking something when updating can be huge even if you know you have backups.

I think in the case where you've already got Jetpack Backups (or VaultPress), I agree, we should suppress the core message, and maybe replace it with a "we've got your back" type message.

Possibly include information around when the last full backup was taken, offer the ability to take a new backup right now, or even better, just automatically trigger one before the update takes place.
