Can’t connect LinkedIn for shocial sharing

Personal account.

I have subscribers and image hosting through Jetpack. Jetpack has also been collecting stats on my site for years. Will all of that get erased if I disconnect and reconnect Jetpack, or will it be preserved and still be there after I reconnect?

I disconnected Jetpack, deactivated the plugin, uninstalled the plugin, reinstalled the plugin, reconnected and reconfigured it, and finally once again attempted to enable the connection to LinkedIn for sharing, and I got exactly the same error.

In short, “turning it off and turning it back on” didn’t work. Do you have any other suggestions?

I don’t know why you think the way you’re invoking xmlrpc.php above is valid, because it’s not.

It’s called **XML***rpc for a reason. You send requests to it in XML.

My xmlrpc is working just fine:

I don’t understand why you people keep offering me suggestions that are wrong and irrelevant.

My site’s URL is https://blog.kamens.us, not https://www.blog.kamens.us. There is no need for DNS to resolve for the latter because the latter is not the correct host name for my site.

My site has been https://blog.kamens.us for nearly 18 years. It has always been that way, with no “www” in the host name, and has always worked fine that way.

The fact that I am able to establish a Jetpack connection proves that http://www.blog.kamens.us not resolving is not the problem.

The fact that when I try to enable LinkedIn sharing, I see a successful xmlrpc call from your server to mine in my log before your app says it failed, LOG ENTRIES WHICH I HAVE ALREADY SHARED WITH YOU EARLIER IN THIS CONVERSATION, also proves that http://www.blog.kamens.us not resolving is irrelevant to this problem.

Is there someone there you can escalate this ticket to who isn’t going to waste my time offering pointless, wrong suggestions and understand actually figure out what’s wrong?

Jesus.

I’ve already told you that it’s still not working.

My site’s connection to Jetpack was never broken and that was never the problem. We’re exactly where we were when I first opened this ticket. Again: is there anyone there who can actually help me?

i just tried again and at least the error is slightly more informative this time:

In case you can’t see it, the error in the screenshot is, “500 status code for “POST /sites/139453603/publicize- connections/new”” . Note that 500 error is coming FROM YOUR SERVER, not from my blog. As I’ve been telling you all along, THE PROBLEM IS ON YOUR SERVER, not on my blog.
