 * I am trying to setup Jetpack by WordPress.com, but a message keeps on displaying.
   The message is:
 * Error Details: The Jetpack server could not communicate with your site’s XML-
   RPC URL. Please check to make sure [http://mydomainname.com/xmlrpc.php](http://mydomainname.com/xmlrpc.php)
   is working properly. It should show ‘XML‑RPC server accepts POST requests only.’
   on a line by itself when viewed in a browser and should not have any blank links
   or extra output anywhere.
 * Could someone please tell me how I can fix this problem? I can’t setup Jetpack
   because this message keeps on displaying.

 * That’s most likely what’s causing the issue. Jetpack uses your site’s XML-RPC
   file to communicate with WordPress.com. If your maintenance plugin blocks access
   to that file, it will also block Jetpack from communicating with WordPress.com.
 * Once the XML-RPC file becomes available, you should be able to start using Jetpack.
 * I hope this clarifies things a bit.
