I got desperate and uninstalled Jetpack, then disabled every single plugin and reinstalled Jetpack. It connected without a hitch. I then reactivated the plugins one at a time, and Jetpack never lost connection. Although it’s obvious there was a conflict, due to the order I activated them I never found a culprit. Sorry to be such a pain!

According to my provider, XMLRPC is not being blocked. The XMLRPC validator showed that to be the case.

Okay, so just the one problem then. I didn’t think to ask my provider because Jetpack was working fine before, but I am now in the middle of asking them.

In the meantime, at the time I was messing with code in .htaccess I also added the plugins WP Optimize and Wordfence. Are those two plugins known to interfere with Jetpack?

I also tried to initiate a sync and it gave me this error:

The Jetpack site is inaccessible or returned an error: server error. requested method jetpack.jsonAPI does not exist. [-32601]

Is it only saying that because it can’t connect to xmlrpc?

Just updated to WP 5.5. Jetpack is 8.8.1. PHP I changed to 7.3 from 7.1.33 just before this started. Could that be the issue?

Oh, okay, got it. Thank you!

I even deleted xmlrpc.php and re-installed the latest version of WP, and still got the same result.

I uninstalled Jetpack and reinstalled it, and it is giving the same messages about not being connected.

Sorry, after a few hours it started to do just that. Nevermind!

However, putting:

p.has-text-color a {
    (actual color formatting I want)
}

p.has-text-color a:hover,
p.has-text-color a:focus,
p.has-text-color a:active {
    (actual color formatting I want)
}

in the child theme’s styles.css seems to have done the trick! Thank you for your help.

I double-checked, and that tag is nowhere in the Dara stulesheet. Inspecting the webpage revealed that it resided in:

https://c0.wp.com/c/5.3.2/wp-includes/css/dist/block-library/style.min.css

But that code isn’t in the theme stylesheet. It’s in one of the WP libraries. I will look again though 2hem I’m at my computer

Where would I put that, in the child theme styles.css?

Oh, sorry about that sure:

I have changed the text in the last paragraph on the home page to light gray in the editor for illustration purposes. You can see in the other paragraphs that links are bold black and turn purple on mouseover/click (client preference – don’t get me started). However, when the paragraph’s color is set in the editor, all text including links are forced to inherit.

Sorry, I assumed it was a universal thing. Will do.
