Surbma

CherryPick Studios

With Offline Mode, features that do not require a connection to WordPress.com servers can be activated.
This plugin is using the jetpack_offline_mode filter to enable the Offline Mode. If you are familiar with ftp and file edit, you can also add the <code>define( 'JETPACK_DEV_DEBUG', true);</code> to the wp-config.php file. Make sure you add it before the <code>/* That's all, stop editing! Happy blogging. */</code> line.
This plugin also checks if the Jetpack plugin is already activated, so it is safe to use this plugin.

Enables Jetpack's Offline Mode, to use some modules without having a WordPress.com account.

The <a href="https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/jetpack/" rel="ugc">Jetpack</a> plugin by Automattic does something sneaky: it auto-activates new Jetpack modules. Instead of allowing you to opt in to new modules, Jetpack cheerfully activates them without your permission. These modules can change how your site works and looks.
Manual Control puts a stop to that unwanted behavior. It prevents auto-activation of new Jetpack modules.
