I'm not sure if this is the right way forward, I'm wondering if changing the link to be just Support and letting them land on HelpHub is better.

The purpose of having HelpHub be the landing page for wordpress.org/support is so that users can find what they need before resolving to asking for specific help from volunteers, and we lose a bit of that if we bypass it entirely.

Replying to Clorith:

That's what 47239.patch appears to do, though I'm not sure HelpHub has an answer to the "unexpected error occurred" message :)

Looking at [45140], general support links were changed to Support, however links in messages that specifically suggest contacting the forums for help were changed to /support/forums/. I think it makes sense to do the same for both messages here:

  • An unexpected error occurred. Something may be wrong with WordPress.org or this server&#8217;s configuration. If you continue to have problems, please try the <a href="%s">support forums</a>.
  • <strong>ERROR</strong>: Cookies are blocked due to unexpected output. For help, please see <a href="%1$s">this documentation</a> or try the <a href="%2$s">support forums</a>.

The latter message already has a specific HelpHub link, replacing the second link with the landing page seems redundant and less helpful.

@dilipbheda Are you able to refresh the patch taking the feedback into consideration?

In 45412:

General: Update support forum links.

There are a lot of places in Core that link to https://wordpress.org/support/ for the support forums, but that's now the URL for HelpHub. The new forums link is https://wordpress.org/support/forums/.

This is a follow-up to [45140], which changed the links in help tabs.

Props dilipbheda.
Fixes #47239. See #46790.

In 50015:

Toolbar: Update Documentation and Support links.

This replaces the Codex URL in the "WordPress" section of the admin bar with the HelpHub URL, and updates the Support link to point to the forums.

Follow-up to [45140], [45412].

Props audrasjb.
Fixes #52352. See #46790, #47239.
