Thank you for checking. The background on my “static” site hosted by NameCheap is that it started, in 2016, on Weebly as a free site. I then purchased the three domains at NameCheap, one of which is ‘reverseglasswork.com’. I moved the site myself by exporting from Weebly and copying the ‘pages’ into my root directory in the NameCheap CPanel. To make changes, I changed the free site at Weebly and brought the changed pages over to NameCheap through CPanel.

So I never had a WordPress presence.

Three months or so ago, I took on the major rewrite of my site to make it an Ecommerce site. I staged the ‘reverseglasswork.com’ to ‘reverseglasswork.com/ver01_00’. I used WordPress, chose an Astra Theme, edited with Elementor, plugged in WooCommerce with Stripe. Things went well then I decided on changing the ‘look and feel’ of the site so I staged it again to ‘reverseglasswork.com/ver02_00’. This is where I introduced WooCommerce mobile payments and JetPack.

So when I went through your suggestions, I was able to add JetPack to my original site, the prestaged domain. But when I connected JetPack, it broke my site such as it is. So it is now disconnected. But now my primary domain is correct in wordpress.com ‘wemrga’ account.

Using CPanel on NameCheap, I put the code in the wp-config/php file on my twice staged site, ‘reverseglasswork.com/ver02_00’. I have JetPack and WooCommerce playing together well on this staged site; no safe mode for JetPack. I am able to proceed with development work on that twice staged site.

I fear the real issues will come when I try to to put the ‘ver02_00’ development site into production; when I ‘unstage’ it.

So there you have it. Jetpack on my primary domain, not staged, is not connected, but is activated. I am able to continue with development on my staged site. – Whitney
