Disconnect Jetpack when you are unable to log in to your site
If your site won’t load due to a fatal error being displayed mentioning Jetpack and you’re unable to log in, chances are that there is another plugin or theme function conflicting with our plugin.
To get your site loading again, connect to your server via FTP access or your webhost’s file manager. From there, delete the /Jetpack/ folder from inside your /public_html/wp-content/plugins/ directory. Your site should then load normally, as long as there are no other issues going on.
If you’re unsure how to use FTP access or a file manager, please contact your host – They can explain the process better or perhaps even remove the Jetpack folder for you.
Once you’re able to log back into your site again, the next best step is to make sure that all of your plugins, theme, PHP version, and core of WordPress are all updated before trying to install and activate Jetpack again (your host can also help with all of that).
