 * Hi!
    I have some troubles with my website since I updated to WP-3.8
 * Recently I discovered a little bit of text jest on top of my website ( [http://www.wdrodzedo.pl](http://www.wdrodzedo.pl)
 * > fn() ?>() ?>ks ?>
 * After few days when I tried to open my page I had an error instead stating that
   there is an eroor in one of the lines and there was a path to the file. It was
   one of the Jetpack files. Considering I wasn’t able to log in to the WP Admin
   I went to the FTP and just deleted Jetpack files from my server. My website is
   working so I was happy.
 * Than I tried to install Jetpack again, and I did from the WP Admin Panel, but
   I can’t connect it with the WordPress.com account. When I go to the plugin page
   there is this message waiting for me
 * > Your Jetpack has a glitch. Something went wrong that’s never supposed to happen.
   > Guess you’re just lucky: xml_rpc-32700
   >  Try connecting again. Error Details:
   > The Jetpack server could not communicate with your site’s XML-RPC URL. Please
   > check to make sure [http://wdrodzedo.pl/xmlrpc.php](http://wdrodzedo.pl/xmlrpc.php)
   > is working properly. It should show ‘XML‑RPC server accepts POST requests only.’
   > on a line by itself when viewed in a browser and should not have any blank 
   > links or extra output anywhere.
 * And so I went to the xmlrpc.php and it’s not blank, instead it shows up
 * > fn()
   >  ?>()
   > ?>ks
   > ?>XML-RPC server accepts POST requests only.
 * So I also found the source of this funny bit of text on the top of my site.
 * So the question is if anyone know how to repair xmlrpc.php or know how to deal
   with that problem?

 * Looking at your site, it seems you managed to find the source of the problem;
   the extra characters do not seem to be there anymore, and Jetpack is properly
   connected.
 * For those who would experience similar issues, you’ll want to deactivate each
   one of your plugins, one at a time. If the characters (or empty space) do not
   disappear, try switching to a different theme to make sure the characters are
   not added by your theme.
    If none of this helps, check your site’s wp-config.
   php file: you might have added extra characters at the top of this file by mistake.

 * I actually made back up of my content and uninstalled whole WP including database
   and tables and installed fresh new WP and imported the content.
 * The solution you wrote about didn’t work for me. I tried everything and since
   nothing worked I decided to rebuild whole blog again.
