Antonio,
I think I broke something and I'm not even sure how. Here's what happened, as best as I remember it.
I was doing some updates in Joomla and accidentally hit to update Joomdle. (Hadn't anticipated seeing it there!) This made Joomla side 1.1.4 and Moodle side 1.1.3. I tried updating Moodle side (now in a rush because I'd done this during a busy time...) and uploaded the files manually. Went to notifications, thought I'd done the update fine, then had errors. Didn't write them down because I knew I could just roll the whole thing back. Contacted the hosting company and had them roll it back.
System check was fine. Joomdle update didn't show up any more in Joomla. I thought that was odd. But everything went back to happily working and I flagged "MUST UPDATE JOOMDLE" to my to do list.
Yesterday, when I went into the admin notifications area in Moodle, it said that I had settings that needed to be saved for Joomdle. I accepted the default settings.
Then I tried to do the update using the update system in Moodle (nice!) except it generated database update errors saying everything was duplicated. Being a bit too much of a tinkerer, I went in and deleted those duplicates and reran the database update. Of course, that didn't work. I had errors on both sides now, so I rolled back everything myself this time -- database and files.
I checked system check in Joomla and it was all green, everything on 1.1.3.
When I checked notifications in Moodle, again, auth_joomdle needed settings saved. Still on 1.1.3 on this side, too.
Now when I look in the Joomdle system check, I see "Joomla URL seems to be misconfigured in Joomdle auth plugin in Moodle " -- when I look in the settings, that is blank, which is listed as the default.
As usual, my system is working.
I tried putting my www.mysite.com url in that first Joomla URL box, and nothing changed in System Check...so I switched it back to empty.
Here's what I'm worried about:
When I did my manual rollback yesterday, I rolled back files and database.
I have a suspicion that when the hosting company did the rollback for me a couple of weeks ago, maybe they only rolled back the files.
I think my database may be running on 1.1.4 while my files are 1.1.3.
Totally my fault, but I thought I'd stop tinkering and ask you for suggestions.
I need to do a series of updates on this site...Moodle, Joomdle, and moving the site to PHP 7.
Thoughts?
(other than to not be an idiot and auto-update while half asleep???)

An update --
The system check now passes. There was a bug with an anti-spam update that was not allowing anyone to log in.
When I rolled THAT back, now we can log in and it occurred to me to re-check my system check and sure enough -- THAT's fine now, too. So it was the anti-spam that was causing it to show as unable to communicate.

I still need to get everything updated. Sigh.

Hi Lisa.

I am sorry to know that you are having problems.
As you say, it might be the case that there are conflicting versions betwen database and files.
To fix it, first thing is looking at your database. If you want, I can take a look to speed things up. If so, please email me. If it cannot be done this way, tell me and I will tell you instructions to get some data, and we go from there.
