manually having to shut down jetpack via ftp
I don’t understand a lot about this stuff. I know what FTP stands for, but how do I use it? How do I get into my WordPress site that 4.8 locked me out of so I can deinstall 4.8?
FTP: it might be easier to use your host’s control panel, in cPanel there’s a function called “file manager”.
You would find your wp-content/plugins folder and in there there will be a folder called jetpack.
Sorry everyone for all the trouble! We’ve just released 4.8.1 to solve the issue mentioned in this thread.
You can read more about this release here:

Please update to 4.8.1 as soon as possible to see if that fixes that issue for you. Also, if you’re using WP Rocket, please update that to the latest version as well.
If you continue to experience issues, could you please try to delete the Jetpack plugin, and reinstall it from scratch? If that doesn’t help either, you can start a new thread here with as much information as possible about the errors you see on your site:

Thank you, and again, sorry for the trouble! While we do our best to test things prior to release, sometimes things fall through the cracks. We’ve added additional measures to make sure this type of error doesn’t happen again.
