    Hi, gang…

    Getting this error on GoDaddy Managed WordPress:

    Jetpack could not contact WordPress.com: register_http_request_failed. This usually means something is incorrectly configured on your web host.

    I have tried these fixes to no avail:

    • Deleting and reinstalling Jetpack
    • Flushing the cache via the Managed WordPress toolbar
    • Having GoDaddy flush the server side cache
    • Disabling all other plugins and switching to the Twenty Fourteen theme before trying to connect.

    The strange thing is that it was installed, activated, connected and working perfectly until I deactivated it to do some page speed testing. Now it won’t reconnect to WordPress.com.

    Any ideas what’s going on?

    Hi, CosmetiCage…

    Are you also using GoDaddy Managed WordPress?

    I found this page about Jetpack that may explain what’s going on for me. My site is a staging site with a temporary url, so I think that may be the problem. And I had it working but disabled it, which I think is the problem:

    Jetpack communicates with WordPress.com through a shared token and blog ID that is stored in the database. When the staging site is copied from the live site, these database values are included. Whenever you deactivate Jetpack, Jetpack communicates with WordPress.com to invalidate the token as a solid security practice.

    For you, this means if you deactivate/disconnect Jetpack on the staging site, the same token used on the live site is now invalid. If this happens, simply have the client disconnect and reconnect Jetpack on the live site.

    I may have to wait until we make the site live on the domain before I’m able to get it working again.

    Hi, Ryan…I got it all worked out. Seems it was due to the installation being on a temporary url for the staging site. Thanks! —jonathan
