Impacted plugin
VideoPress
Quick summary
Even though the primary admin may have connected the site to WordPress.com and purchased a plan, all other admins / editors / authors on the site will see a prompt to connect their account when they attempt to add a VideoPress block to a post. They shouldn't have to do anything.
Steps to reproduce
- Start by installing the Jetpack VideoPress plugin on your site.
- Connect it to WordPress.com and purchase a VideoPress plan.
- Come back to wp-admin
- Go to Users > Add New and create a new admin user.
- Log out of your admin account, and log back in using the account you just created.
- Go to Posts > Add New
- Insert a VideoPress block
A clear and concise description of what you expected to happen.
I expect to be able to upload a video, and I should have access to all VideoPress features since the site is connected to WordPress.com.
What actually happened
I see the connection banner above the block:
I still have access to the block features though, and I'm able to upload a video (even though the banner never disappears and I do see an error in the block sidebar):
