The workaround is brilliant! I would never have figured that out on my own. I would love to see this assimilated as an option in the next version of the PEN theme.

@htmlpie Difficult to explain without screenshots. Please refer to this Youtube video to see the settings.

Hope it helps!

@htmlpie It’s certainly heading in the right direction. Adding the CSS turns this…

…into this…

I was hoping to have it formated this way…

… but I suspect this is a more complex endeavour. I tried searching for the words POSTED ON in the PEN theme files, but came up with nada. I did find the word posted in the following files:

1. assets/css/pen-content.css
2. assets/css/pen-base.css
3. assets/css/plugins/wp.woocommerce.css
4. include/html.php

html.php looked the most promising. I suspect I need to copy and modify a function from this file to the PEN-CHILD functions.php, but TL;DR.

PS: I think we can add this to the new update.

Yes, please! The PEN theme is my absolute favourite theme. Because it’s SO configurable, I’ve got a lot of control over how the theme looks. What would make it just perfect is the inclusion of the UPDATED ON field.

The mystery is solved! The forum thread 500 Internal Server Error when activating Jetpack plugin led me to the solution.

Once I enabled the verbose debugging suggested by @jherve, this is what I saw in the debug log:

There are a whole bunch of ctype errors. While the WordPress PHP hosting requirements are specified at Server Environment, Jetpack also requires PHP extensions xmlrpc (indirectly documented) and ctype (undocumented). Once I installed php74-ctype in the server environment, the missing blog token issue disappeared and I was then able to set up Jetpack.

Using the Jetpack debug tool, I get a debug ‘Unknown error’ for site https://udance.com.au.

I have the ‘Server error code 500’ listed on What do these error messages mean?

I see ‘XML-RPC server accepts POST requests only.’ at the URL https://udance.com.au/xmlrpc.php.
