This isn’t a long post and it’s really straight forward fix but I did not find anything else on the internet that directly answers this problem.  So I am hoping that this will help someone else out there as it’s a simple fix.

In my case I am:

• Using Jetpack
• Self-hosted site

I was receiving the error:

{“error”:”unauthorized”,”message”:”API calls to this blog have been disabled.”}

In order to fix it:

• Disconnect the Jetpack plugin
• Reconnect again.

Fixed the issue!
