    After years of using Jetpack on my self-hosted wordpress website without problems, I’m now suddenly unable to establish connection to Jetpack. I press the “set up jetpack” button and all I get is “an error has occurred. try again.” I’ve tried the usual disconnect plugin and reconnect plugin but get the same error message.

    The page I need help with: [log in to see the link]

  • Hi @tortugaranger

    Jetpack is not connected to your site. That means we cannot access your site’s XML-RPC file, which is needed for our connection:

    * https://tortugaaudio.com/xmlrpc.php?for=jetpack

    The link above must return the following message:

    XML-RPC server accepts POST requests only.

    You can see a working example here: https://jetpack.me/xmlrpc.php

    Since your site returns an error for this page, please check the following:

    * Can you see the /xmlrpc.php file at the root of your WordPress installation when accessing your site via FTP (if you’re not sure what this means, please ask your hosting customer support for a hand)? If you don’t, then please try re-installing WordPress. You can do this by going to the Dashboard → Upgrades page, then clicking the “Reinstall WordPress” button.

    * Do you use any security plugins that may block access to this file? If so, could you try to disable them? You might also want to check your site’s .htaccess file for any rules that might be blocking access to the xmlrpc.php file. Again, if you’re not sure what this means, your host customer support should be able to lend a hand.

    * Does your hosting provider block access to this file? If you don’t find any plugin that may block access to the file on your site, I would recommend that you get in touch with your hosting support and ask them to allow Jetpack to access xmlrpc.php.

    Once we are able to access your site’s xmlrpc.php file, you should be able to connect Jetpack to WordPress.com:

    * **https://jetpack.com/support/reconnecting-reinstalling-jetpack**

    Let me know if you have any questions.

    My best regards,

    Michelle
