3 days ago Recommendation: Switch to WP Admin for All users / All platforms
Considerations:
Calypso offers an easy “Copy link” option that is missing in WP Admin
- Add to WP Admin? Low priority.
- Happiness should monitor if we see an uptick in users linking content to the wrong URL (aka the editor instead of the live link)
Calypso offers a “QR Code” option
- This feature shows you a QR code, which perhaps makes it easier to open the post on your phone from your computer, but you can’t make a copy of this QR Code and actually “use” it anywhere.
- Could this be excluded? Not sure if we have any data on its usage.
The Calypso “Share” posts link behaves differently than the WP Admin Share link
- This should probably be addressed sooner rather than later. The WP Admin functionality is confusing as it opens the post editor and isn’t immediately apparent that the Jetpack sidebar has been triggered.
- If we want to keep this functionality, instead of the Calypso functionality, we could perhaps add a tooltip that draws attention to the Jetpack sidebar and sharing options.
Note: The Copy Link and QR Code are also part of Pages, Portfolio, and Testimonials screens

As part of the Untangling Calypso epic, let's remove the custom implementation of the wordpress.com/posts view, in lieu of the standard WordPress
wp-admin/edit.phpview—for new users.This will reduce confusion navigating between Calypso and proper WordPress admin.
