XML-RPC Error 200

Your site’s xmlrpc.php file is showing a blank page instead of the required message, which is preventing Jetpack from connecting.

This is most likely because a plugin, theme, or your site’s wp-config.php file has extra “blank spaces” (new lines, spaces, tabs, …) before the first <?php in the file.

I’d recommend following the troubleshooting steps listed here to fix that:

Let us know how that goes!

I ran through all the troubleshooting steps on this page and the problem still exists.

• I enabled default Theme 2024
• Verified XMLRPC.php is not blank and has no additional spaces before <?php
• Verified wp-config.php has no additional spaces before <?php in the file

Jetpack remains disconnected unless I disable the Wordfence plugin.

Hi there,

It seems like there might be some specific settings in Wordfence that are conflicting with Jetpack’s xmlrpc.php file. Here is what you can do to troubleshoot further:

1. Go to Wordfence > All Options > Login Security Settings and make sure that Require 2FA for XML-RPC call authentication is set to Skipped, and Disable XML-RPC authentication is not checked.
2. Check your Wordfence settings for any other options related to “XML-RPC” and disable them to see if that resolves the issue.
3. Review Wordfence’s firewall rules for anything that might be blocking Jetpack’s connection. You might need to allowlist Jetpack’s server IP addresses:

If you’ve tried all the steps above and you are still experiencing issues, it might be helpful to check the Wordfence support forums or contact their support for guidance on specific settings that could be causing the conflict.

Hi @conjuresup,

Do you have updates about that? We usually close inactive threads after one week of no movement, but we want to make sure we’re all set before marking it as solved. Thanks!
