 * Hello, I use Jetpack for social sharing icons on my website.
 * I noticed the social sharing icons stopped appearing on the site yesterday. I
   updated Jetpack to the newest version. After updating and activating, I was prompted
   to connect the site to WordPress.com.
 * When I tried connecting to WordPress.com, I received the following error message:
 * Your Jetpack has a glitch. Something went wrong that’s never supposed to happen.
   Guess you’re just lucky: verify_secrets_missing
    Try connecting again.
 * This error message has persisted after several attempts.
 * How can I fix this problem? I’m wondering if it has something to do with the 
   WordPress.com account that is connected to the site.
 * Previously, my WordPress.com account was never connected to this site. Is there
   a way I can switch the WordPress.com account connected to this site to mine?

 * I did some more digging and decided to delete, reinstall and activate Jetpack.
 * This solved the problem. I was able to connect to my WordPress.com account and
   social sharing icons are appearing again.
