Thanks a lot @imfromio
Your comment got me off the frustration I was having.
I disabled really simple SSL because it was clashing with another plugin. I had no issues with SSL since my site goes through Cloudflare.
When I discovered jetpack was not working, I had no idea what caused it, I had contacted support, uninstall and installed my plugins one after the other and involved a freelancer developer. then I saw your comment re-installed really Simple SSL…everything is working smoothly now. Thanks again.
