Unable to connect to Jetpack

    I was trouble shooting something on ridingintohistory.org so disabled all my plugins. I re-enabled all but the offending plugin, and now I’m not able to connect to jetpack – which was connected prior to disabling the plugins. I get the following:

    Your website needs to be publicly accessible to use Jetpack: site_inaccessible

Error Details: The Jetpack server was unable to communicate with your site [HTTP 404]. Ask your web host if they allow connections from WordPress.com. If you need further assistance, contact Jetpack Support: https://jetpack.me/support/

    I also ensured that my security plugin did not disable xml-rpc so that shouldn’t have any effect. Any ideas? Thank you

    Jetpack uses your site’s XML-RPC file to communicate with WordPress.com. Unfortunately I cannot access that file on your site at the moment:
    https://ridingintohistory.org/xmlrpc.php

    If you do not use any plugin that would disable XML-RPC, 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 the jetpack plugin installed on probably 40 sites on my VPS, and the xmlrpc.php file does exist in https://ridingintohistory.org/, and the only plugin I have that disables XML-RPC is iTheme Security, and I’ve got it set to enable it.

    So no, it doesn’t really help because if my hosting provider blocked access (and why would it go from not blocked to blocked?) it would probably block access across all the sites on my VPS.

    Any other ideas?

    Thanks

    I’m afraid I don’t have much more information about this on my end. All I can see is that the file can’t be found on your site at the moment. All I get is a 404 when trying to access that file:

    curl -I https://ridingintohistory.org/xmlrpc.php
HTTP/1.1 404 Not Found
Date: Wed, 11 Nov 2015 15:19:23 GMT
Server: Apache
X-Pingback: https://ridingintohistory.org/xmlrpc.php
X-Powered-By: W3 Total Cache/0.9.4.1
Expires: Wed, 11 Jan 1984 05:00:00 GMT
Cache-Control: no-cache, must-revalidate, max-age=0
Pragma: no-cache
Vary: Accept-Encoding,User-Agent
Content-Type: text/html; charset=UTF-8

    https://i.wpne.ws/dmmt

    Since that page is cached by W3 Total Cache, you could try to make sure the plugin doesn’t actually restrict access to the page by mistake. If that doesn’t help, it might be worth checking your site’s .htaccess file to make sure no extra rule is blocking access to the file right now.

    If you don’t find any extra rules there, I’m afraid I can only suggest that you deactivate each one of your plugins, one at a time, until the XML-RPC file becomes accessible.

    Let me know how it goes!
