The required "home" parameter is missing

    I recently set up a website for a client that uses the Open Door theme and the WP All Import plugin (as well as several others, which I’ll list below). I noticed today that I’m unable to install plugins directly from Plugins > Add New. There are none listed under Featured, Popular, Recommended or Favorites, and searching brings up no results. I can install by uploading, however. Which is how I installed Jetpack so that the client in question will have access to site stats within the admin panel. But when I attempt to connect to WordPress.com, I get an error that reads, “Error Details: The required ‘home’ parameter is missing.”

    I’m not sure if this is related, but I also was unable to activate Akismet because of a API bad key, but I know for certain that I was copying-and-pasting correctly.

    Any idea what could’ve happened and how to fix it? Short of rebuilding the site from scratch (which isn’t a viable option), I have no idea how to get this to work.

    Thanks! And if it matters, here are the other plugins currently on the site…

    Can you please use Jetpack’s Debugger module to send us some more information about your site?

    1) Go to the Jetpack page in your dashboard.
    2) Click on the Debug link appearing at the bottom of the page.
    3) Click the link that says “click here to contact Jetpack support.”
    4) Fill in the description box and your name and email address.
    5) Click the “Contact Support” button.

    Thanks!

    If you’re still struggling with this error, I figured out what caused mine…

    After searching the codex I learned that the “home_url” variable is called by ../wp-includes/link-template.php. This variable is populated by whatever the user puts in Dashboard -> Settings -> General -> “Site Address (URL)”.

    When I looked at mine I had a fully-formed URL in my “WordPress Address (URL)” field (https://frydaho.com), but only “frydaho.com” in the “Site Address (URL)”. I tossed “https://” in front of it and, voila!, no more malformed URL complaint from Jetpack!

    Here is a screenshot…
