Fixes #

Proposed changes

  • Adds a "Learn more" link to the VideoPress admin page subtitle, next to "Host, manage, customize, and track your videos — all in one place."
  • The subtitle now comes from one shared component, so the link shows on the dashboard and on both pre-connection screens rather than only the connected view.
  • On WordPress.com sites the link opens the VideoPress support doc inside the Help Center, the same behavior the Monetize page has. Self-hosted sites get the equivalent Jetpack support doc in a new tab, following the pattern the Newsletter settings already use.

Does this pull request change what data or activity we track or use?

No.

Testing instructions

  • Open the VideoPress admin page — Jetpack → VideoPress, or the Jetpack VideoPress plugin's own menu.
  • Confirm the subtitle reads "Host, manage, customize, and track your videos — all in one place. Learn more." and that "Learn more" is a link.
  • On an Atomic site, click "Learn more" and confirm https://wordpress.com/support/videopress/ opens in the Help Center panel rather than a new tab.
  • On a self-hosted site, confirm the link opens https://jetpack.com/support/jetpack-videopress/ in a new tab, with the usual external-link icon.
  • On a site that is not yet connected, confirm the same link appears in the header of the connect screen and the pricing upsell.

VideoPress: move the "Learn more" link to the modernized dashboard
ffc496a 
The legacy admin page sits behind a modernization filter that defaults to
on, so the link landed on a screen nobody loads. Share one subtitle across
the dashboard chrome and the two pre-connection screens instead.
