xml_rpc-32601 ERROR – can't connect to wp.com

Anybody? Please…

Also, things I did but forgot to mention.

4. With all my plugins deactivated, I reinstalled jetpack with a freshly downloaded file from the website. – still gives me xml_rpc-32601

5. With all of the above, I deactivated my genesis framework theme and switched it to twenty twelve. – still didn’t work

6. Offered a sacrificial lamb to the xml_rpc-32601 god. – also didn’t work, it’s still giving me the error!

Could you post your site URL here, so I can have a look?

If you want it to remain private, you can also contact us via this contact form:

Hi! I already sent my site url via your contact form 10 hours ago. I also received a ‘donotreply’ reference email. But in case you didn’t get it, I’ll do it again. Please help me huhuhuhuhuhuhuhuuuuu

Let there be bump.

Did we reply to your support email? I didn’t find any email mentioning this thread, but I might have missed it.

If we haven’t replied yet, you will want to send a new email. Thank you!

Hi, i received this.

Hi there,

Thanks for getting in touch. The message you saw about “XML-RPC server accepts POST requests only” is normal. However it looks like you have a maintenance mode landing page which may be blocking access to your full site.

Some maintenance mode plugins include a checkbox to allow access to xmlrpc. If this setting is available in your plugin, please check it and then try connecting Jetpack again.

If you don’t have this setting available, you won’t be able to use all the jetpack features until you launch your site and disable the landing page plugin. However, you can use Jetpack in development mode, as explained here:
https://jetpack.me/2013/03/28/jetpack-dev-mode-release/

However, like I said, I tried installing jetpack with all of my plugins disabled. I even tried it several times without activating my plugins for a day, just to make sure. ??

Trying again, currently, everything on my site is disabled and the cache deleted but still, I am getting the xml_rpc-32601 ERROR.

I’m giving up.

Since I don’t know your site URL, I may not be able to help. But if you reply to the email we sent you, I’m sure we can figure things out with you ??

Yes I have replied to it several times and several times I have mentioned my site URL in it.

Also, this is the debugging result, if it helps.

Even though it says my setup is ok, jetpack is still giving me the xml_rpc-32601 error.

Hi there,

It sounds like you’re already ruled out the usual causes for this error to appear. Sometimes there can be a problem with code in your .htaccess file that should have been removed when a plugin was deactivated, but is somehow still there.

You can rule this out by temporarily renaming the .htaccess file (found at the root of your WordPress directory) to -htaccess. This will temporarily stop your custom permalinks from working, as well as disable any other code that may have been inserted by plugins into your .htaccess file. Then try connecting again. After this test, you can rename the file back to .htaccess.

I’m also seeing an invalid result for your RSS feed, which I believe may be because there are no posts published on your site. Just to rule that out as a factor, can you publish one post just as a test? It doesn’t need anything more than a title and a few words of text.

Thanks!

Best,
