If you’re a developer, Jetpack includes tools to extend and customize Jetpack to fit your needs.
Working with Jetpack in your local environment
When working on a theme or a plugin in your local environment, you can enable Jetpack’s Development mode to use features that do not require a connection to WordPress.com servers. To use Jetpack in Development mode, you can add define( 'JETPACK_DEV_DEBUG', true ); to your wp-config.php. You can learn more about Jetpack Development mode here.
Jetpack and your themes
When developing a new theme, you can include several features that come bundled with Jetpack:
- A Featured Content Slider or area
- Social Links
- Content Options
- Social Menus
- Responsive Videos
- Site Breadcrumbs
- Site Accelerator
- Infinite Scroll
You can also use this dependency script to inform your users that their theme relies on certain Jetpack features, and help them install or activate them as needed.
