Description

If anyone like me is having issues connecting their site with this plugin and getting an error that says something like "That site does not seem to be accessible or no longer has the Jetpack plugin installed."

![CleanShot 2023-08-25 at 10 03 12](https://github.com/Automattic/google-docs-add-on/assets/25666454/2ba06c78-fef2-4004-87ef-542b492f7e22)

It's because the plugin relies on XML-RPC which is disabled by default on a lot of Wordpress hosting sites.

You can enable it and it works perfectly. Example enabling it on WPEngine
