    Clicking the link takes me to my website login, login takes me to the plug-in page. Jetpack is not listed, so can’t update it, if it’s installed. Same thing with one other WordPress website.

    Other WP sites have not returned this error message. Any help appreciated!

    Hi @mirlac

    Thanks for reaching out about this – it sounds like something interrupted the update progress which meant the Jetpack plugin installation currently isn’t complete.

    Assuming most of the Jetpack plugin files still exist, re-installing Jetpack won’t work (you can try this though – if it does install that means somehow the plugin was completely removed when the update failed).

    If reinstalling via the plugins page isn’t working, then the best option is to manually delete the Jetpack plugin files. To do this you’d need access to your site’s files – either via your hosts control panel (using the file manager), or using access credentials such as FTP.

    You’d need to navigate to the location where your WordPress files are located (you’ll see directories names ‘wp-content’, and ‘wp-admin’ if you’re in the right place), then navigate to ‘wp-content/plugins’. From there you can delete the Jetpack directory, then you should be able to reinstall Jetpack from your site’s plugin page.

    As to why the update didn’t work, your host may be able to share server error logs that can show any errors around the time the updates failed. If they do share logs, we’re happy to review any of the errors within them to see what the errors are indicating and troubleshoot further based on that.
