JetPack ERROR prevents loading WordPress admin

You’ll need to access your server via SFTP or FTP, or a file manager in your hosting account’s control panel (consult your hosting provider’s documentation for specifics on these), navigate to /wp-content/plugins/ and delete the whole /jetpack/ directory there.

Once that’s done, you’ll be able to reinstall Jetpack normally from Plugins > Add New in your site’s Dashboard.

Good evening

I just tried that, didn’t help!

When I re-installed JetPack and click the green Setup button I got the dreaded “The site is experiencing technical difficulties. Please check your site admin email inbox for instructions.” message.

My host is GoDaddy – anyone else getting issues like this?

Ok, a few questions then:

1. What version of WordPress are you running?

2. What version of PHP are running?

3. Are you able to install, activate, and connect Jetpack with all other plugins deactivated?

Good evening

Thanks for your help.

1. What version of WordPress are you running?

WordPress 5.2.2 running Canvas theme.

2. What version of PHP are running?

PHP version 7.1.30 (Supports 64bit values)

3. Are you able to install, activate, and connect Jetpack with all other plugins deactivated?

No. I tried disabling all the other plugins and installing Jetpack but when I activated I got the same error immediately.

The error occurs at line 2637 in class.jetpack.php. Which is in the function get_file_data() and the offending line is
$file_data_option[ $key ] = $data;

I have no idea what to do! I rely on Jetpack’s features and this is the busiest time for my organization so it’s really frustrating for this to happen now!!!

I even tried changing themes but that didn’t help either!

When I re-installed JetPack and click the green Setup button I got the dreaded “The site is experiencing technical difficulties. Please check your site admin email inbox for instructions.” message.

Could you confirm whether the email is saying the same thing as before, with the out of memory error and a similarly huge number?

If so, could you please reach out directly via https://jetpack.com/contact-support/?rel=support ?

Ah I just talked to support and they mentioned you *had* contacted them, disabled plugins, etc.

They’ll be following up with you soon.

@schultzter – it looks like you already have an open ticket with us via email. Please keep your correspondence to that email – we’re same support here and via jetpack.com.

We responded to you earlier today letting you know that one of our developers needs to investigate this and asking if you had any other information that we can pass along to them. Please send us that in your support email as we’re better equipped to help you there.

I hope that clarifies things!

Hi there,
Any updates on this issue?

I had the same issue with exactly the same numbers. Luckily could log back in with WordPress recovery mode link and disabled Jetpack.

I got this just after renaming the Jetpack plugin folder, and now see no more errors at all.
