Calypso

Calypso is the new WordPress.com front-end – a beautiful redesign of the WordPress dashboard using a single-page web application, powered by the WordPress.com REST API. Calypso is built for reading, writing, and managing all of your WordPress sites in one place.

It’s built with JavaScript – a very light node plus express server, React.js, Redux, wpcom.js, and many other wonderful libraries on the front-end.

You can read more about Calypso at developer.wordpress.com/calypso.

Getting Started

You can try out the user-side of Calypso on WordPress.com (a lot of the logged-in area is Calypso; if in doubt, view source), you can poke around the code here on GitHub, or you can install it and run it locally. The latter is the most fun.

Make sure you have git, node, and yarn installed.
Clone this repository locally.
Add 127.0.0.1 calypso.localhost to your local hosts file.
Execute yarn and then yarn start from the root directory of the repository.
Open calypso.localhost:3000 in your browser.

Need more detailed installation instructions? We have them.

Feature Request: Embed block to have "Open in New Tab" option

What

I would like to see the option in the settings of the Embed block that allow it to be opened in a new tab by default. This is mostly for embedded posts on other posts/pages.

Why

A user requested this on Live Chat. And it makes sense for the embed blocks to be opened up on a new tab by default.

How

There could be a simple toggle on the embed block settings that toggles it between opening it on the same tab vs on a new tab.

Calypso Dashboard: Request to add Existing Email option in Email section of dashboard

What

Add an Existing Email option to the Upgrades > Emails page in addition to the options to purchase email services and add Email Forwarding.

Why

If someone wants to set up their existing email with a domain that is hosted here, they will probably go to the Emails section of the dashboard first.

How

If we decided to do this, it might make sense to move the Email Setup section out of the DNS Records page into its own page so that it could be linked to from both the Emails section and the DNS records section. Then the Email Setup section could have a link to the DNS records section for emails other than Google Workspace, Office 365, and Zoho Mail.

Hosting Configuration: Remove overlay and make cards readonly instead
Details

Part of pdKhl6-1th-p2.

On the Hosting Configuration page, if I'm not on Business plan or higher, I do not see any of the features I'm supposed to get once I upgrade:

A better approach would be to make the cards read-only with some copy indicating that it's available on the Business plan instead of hiding it behind this gradient.

Done is

[ ] I see what features I'll get before upgrading to the Business plan

[ ] The cards are not actionable, but visible

[ ] There's text indicating that I should upgrade to enjoy the feature
