I’ve been a Wordpress user, advocate, developer and more since 2008. Pressable customer since 2010 (zippykid and on through the merger).I already have plugin update access through my client sites on pressable via Jetpack ‘Premium’ (changes the name of the service almost every year no idea about the name this year.)So I can go into the app on my phone or tablet and run updates in the Jetpack app and or the Wordpress App (more for quick publishing but overlap).Installed this quick and easy.Tried to activate, total no go.Repeatedly get the warning message that the site is linked to another wordpress user (hello its me, its my account, I’m the one paying the increasing bill every year). :)For security reasons (probably) the warning messages are never actionable and have not been for many years.They won’t tell you the username mix up so that it can be sorted out. Maybe its a mixup between Pressable and Jetpack or pressable and Automattic or Pressable and Wordpress.com or Pressable and Jetpack.com.Trying to work through this in a browser will just lead you to being sent to the sites of all of those locations without ever getting any where.Also, this plugin appears to be for the client side…. But it could benefit from a more specific description of what that actually means. I assume (because it does not state) that this means the plugin must be installed on each and every client website, where Jetpack ‘premium’ is already installed and where the Pressable CM plugin is also being added every time I get to a client site.It doesn’t say where you need to go to actually look at managing all the sites. Maybe /for-agencies/ on automattic? maybe on jetpack maybe on wordpress.com maybe on any and all of those? maybe some 3rd new app I haven’t found yet.Now, I don’t really want to go back to the 3rd party system that started all of this over a decade ago before being purchased by a separate large hosting company that I refuse to name or do business with.But can someone simplify the wordpress login things before it kills wordpress all together. I mean seriously. Didn’t Google+ die so that we could all learn some better lessons and get this right 12 years later?

If you’re using Jetpack just to stay updated on client sites, give this a try. It’s straightforward and easy to use—just install and go. Recommended!
