  • Do you receive a message when you visit site-url/xmlrpc.php ? It should return “XML-RPC server accepts POST requests only.” If not, you need to contact your host.

    What happens when you try to activate modules individually?

    I recently began getting module activation errors for one of my sites. Other sites on the same server have no issue. The message I receive is “[module name] failed to activate. Error: No route was found matching the URL and request method“. XMLRPC is accessible and receives POST requests.

    I suspect in my case that another plugin is interfering with Jetpack’s operation but won’t know for sure until I begin working through them one-by-one. You say you have no plugins installed so most likely a host issue for you.

    If your error message is the same as mine then you and I might have a related problem (in which case it may not be plugin related).

    http://[…]/wp-json/jetpack/v4/connection/url Failed to load resource: the server responded with a status of 404 (Not Found)

    This would indicate that a plugin on your site is blocking access to the REST API, or that your site is not configured properly.

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

    If you want it to remain private, you can also contact us via this contact form:
    http://jetpack.com/contact-support/

    Could you also let me know what other plugins are currently active on your site?

    Thanks!

    I realized why this happened to my site. My cache plugin was set to correct URLs to always include a trailing slash. Not the first time this has happened to me on this particular site; I had just forgotten about that.

    @lonelypilgrim, hope you finally resolved the issue in your case too.

    @leehodson Thanks for the update, that’s good to know!

    You are welcome, Jeremy.

    I have the same problem.
    I cloned my stie to mysite/dummy and proceded to disable ALL my plugins.
    Reconnect to jetpack – failure with [404] error
    tried the /xmlrpc.php at end and came back with “XML-RPC server accepts POST requests only.”
    Took off the to correct URLs to always include a trailing slash and still same error message.
    Am darned if I know what the problem is…I reckon I have got every error message regarding this. Have tried from Jetpack connecting to my site and vice versa.
    Have tried creating a new account and same error message.
    Am going to try disabling the theme now to see if that works…
    Nope – same error message when I tried to activate the 2012 theme.
    Ok, so how what? Have no idea what the problem could be.
    Any help would be much appreciated please.
