Jetpack Not Connecting to Site

    Hi,

    When I try to ‘Connect to WordPress.com’ for the Jetpack plugin i’m getting the following error:

    ‘Your website needs to be publicly accessible to use Jetpack: site_requires_authorization
    Error Details: Jetpack requires your site to be publicly accessible.’

    I’ve deactivated (and deleted) all plugins, changed themes, etc. and am still having no luck with it.

    I’m also unable to connect the WordPress app to my website (utilizethatspace.com) and think the issues are related. Haven’t had issues with other domains with this host in the past when using Jetpack, I did install a complex theme and am thinking it buggered it up but am not 100% sure.

    Any assistance would be much appreciated!

    They are indeed. Jetpack and the mobile apps use your site’s XML-RPC file to communicate with WordPress.com. Unfortunately, we cannot communicate with that file on your site at the moment: here is the response we get when trying to access it:

    $ curl -A "Jetpack by WordPress.com" -is -H 'Content-Type: text/xml' --data '<?xml version="1.0"?><methodCall><methodName>demo.sayHello</methodName><params></params></methodCall>' 'https://utilizethatspace.com/xmlrpc.php' && echo
HTTP/1.1 401 Authorization Required
Date: Tue, 20 Jan 2015 16:29:16 GMT
Server: Apache/2.2.22 (Debian) mod_qos/10.8
Vary: Accept-Encoding
Content-Length: 401
Content-Type: text/html; charset=iso-8859-1

<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//IETF//DTD HTML 2.0//EN">
<html><head>
<title>401 Authorization Required</title>
</head><body>
<h1>Authorization Required</h1>
<p>This server could not verify that you

requested.  Either you supplied the wrong
credentials (e.g., bad password), or your

the credentials required.</p>
</body></html>

    If you use a security plugin to block access to the file, you’ll need to configure it to allow incoming and outgoing connections to /xmlrpc.php.

    If you do not use such plugin, you’ll want to contact your hosting provider and ask them if they currently block access to your site’s XML-RPC file.

    I hope this helps.

    I have that same problem. What should I do? kesfedebil.com
