Yes. This website runs on a WordPress platform. Why? Seems reliable and fast enough for what i need.

But what we do in case we get into troubles?

Jetpack powered by WordPress.com

• Share buttons on different media networks
• Website management
• Stats
• Security
• Subscriptions
• Monitor
• Sign In form
• Custom CSS
• Contact Form
• Video Press

The list can go on, you can check all the features here.

Error 403 Can’t access xmlrpc.php file

When i tried to activate the plugin, I got the error 403 which means that something was blocking the IPs from wordpress.com.

It came in the same time in conflict with the All-in-One WP Security plugin because Ping Back protection was activated. But i needed also to protect the xmlrpc.php file. So, what I did?

From WP Security I went to Firewall and deactivated the Pingback Protection. After that i went to .htaccess file and configured the IPs provided by wordpress.com with allow function.

In other words, the only thing I did it was to protect the file using the general rules and allow only the IPs of wordpress.com.

Advanced access to solve error 403

Except the method described above, I had to deactivate also the ModSecurity from Cpanel and increase the protection of the website with .htaccess. In this way, you let specific IPs to request information from specific files given in .htaccess file.

WordPress.com  register_http_request_failed error

Another error encountered it was the following: Jetpack could not contact WordPress.com: register_http_request_failed. This usually means something is incorrectly configured on your web host.
Operation timed out after 15001 milliseconds with 0 bytes received.

In order to fix this kind of issue, you need to allow the website to switch from https to http.

For this, go to wp-config.php  and add the following code somewhere there:

define( ‘JETPACK_CLIENT__HTTPS’, ‘NEVER’ );

Now, when you go to configure the Jetpack, the registration from wordpress.com should pop-in in another tab, which means that it works.

For you these methods worked? Let me know!

In case these methods doesn’t work, try to get in touch with your hosting provider and see if it has blocked some IPs from wordpress.com
