That’s a common WordPress issue; you can follow the instructions here to fix the problem:

Once you’ve fixed this, I’d suggest deactivating and deleting the Jetpack plugin, and then reinstalling it from scratch to make you’re using the latest version.
I hope this helps.
Yes, I’m aware of that. And I had already reinstalled it from scratch, as I explained above (again via ftp). And as I said above, it still doesn’t work.
This is why I asked for the last version to install so that I have jetpack. As of now I had to delete it to bring the site back up. I cannot seem to find it.

I have the latest version, obviously. It’s breaking my site. How on earth is that unclear? I already stated, twice, that I’ve updated to the latest version and it doesn’t work. Why would I need a link to it?
The last version, 4.0.4. works, so I’d like to reinstall it. If anyone can help with that, awesome.
Oh, I understand. Sorry about that, I misunderstood; I thought the “scheduled maintenance” message was the only problem you had with the update.
If your site is broken with the current version, you can get the older version here:

Here is a direct link:

Once you have your site back, I’d be interested in knowing more about what is broken with your site when you use Jetpack 4.1. Do you get error messages? If so, which ones?
Thanks!
Oh excellent, thank you! I couldn’t find that via searches.
I brought the site back up by deleting jetpack last night. Will reinstall 4.0.4 later.
My site is a WordPress Multisite, and it’s old so there’s probably a lot of old not-great code. I don’t spend much time playing with it anymore, just keep it functioning, so I imagine there’s a conflict with multisite or another plugin. Unfortunately I don’t have time to look into it.
Again, thanks!
If you ever find the time to look into that again, let me know, I’d be very interested in any conflicts you might find!
