Fatal Error

I can’t duplicate that with a fresh install. Typically, that error suggests something failed during the install/update (e.g. the zip didn’t completely unzip).

Could you access your site’s file directory via FTP,then delete the wp-content/plugins/jetpack folder? You should then be able to log into your site and reinstall Jetpack via Plugins->Add New.

Your site’s PHP error log may contain additional information if there was a server error.

Cheers!

Regarding the unexpected error, it is suggesting something is disrupting the connection between your server and www.remarpro.com’s servers. This could be on your server’s end, www.remarpro.com’s end, or in between.

It wouldn’t be caused by Jetpack. I’d suggest trying later.

I have tried twice to reply and each time I get kicked out to the top Forum page. Now it says Anonymous replied but there is no reply. Will this short question stick?

Well that worked so maybe it was too long? I’ll break it down into three pieces since it is about three different messages.

1. The Fatal Error is for one action: Trying to activate an installed plugin. The plugin was downloaded and the zip file was unpacked on my desktop. The zip file was fully unpacked. I then uploaded the unpacked Jetpack folder to my plugins directory using FTP.

I will delete the folder and give it another try through the plugins page.

2. The Unexpected Error action is for: Trying to update an existing installation of the plugin on a different website.

I tried to update Jetpack from 3.4.2 to 3.4.3 on the Plugins page for a different website but got the following message:

Warning: An unexpected error occurred. Something may be wrong with www.remarpro.com or this server’s configuration. If you continue to have problems, please try the support forums. (WordPress could not establish a secure connection to www.remarpro.com. Please contact your server administrator.) in …jobs.stcwdc.org/wp-includes/update.php on line 457

3. Another message I got trying to update Jetpack on a third website indicates there is an error in WordPress:

Strict Standards: call_user_func_array() expects parameter 1 to be a valid callback, non-static method WPAlchemy_MetaBox::_global_head() should not be called statically in …/blog.baeecorp.org/wp-includes/plugin.php on line 496

1. Let me know how that goes. I can’t duplicate a fatal with the current version.

2. That does sound like an issue contacting w.org for the update. Since there is a lot of updating going on right now, may be best to wait and try again, or contact the server admin for the server asking if there’s a reason the site wouldn’t be able to make a request to www.remarpro.com.

3. I’d suggest reaching out to that plugin’s author (WPAlchemy). Without more information, I’m not sure the connection to Jetpack.

Cheers!

1.The install and activation through the plugins page worked. No error messages.

2. I’ll try again later.

3. Weird thing is–I don’t have a WPAlchemy plugin. The way the message is worded it sounds like the error is in wp-includes/plugin.php “should not be called statically in …/blog.baeecorp.org/wp-includes/plugin.php on line 496”. I need to checked that file.

3. That core file is where a lot of a plugin’s action takes place… a red herring, if you will. It may be included in another theme.

May make sense to download your wp-content file to your computer and search through it with Atom or another program that’ll search across files (or using grep if you have SSH access).

It’s possible that it is included in another plugin or a library of a theme, etc.

I found it. WPAlchemy is included in the Social Author Bio plugin.
