 * Hello,
    like a lot of people I’m having issues with the error message ** “How
   do I solve the Headers already sent warning problem?”
 * I already changed my php version back to 5.3, so my website is all back to normal.
   Unfortunately I am unable to access my wordpress account/dashboard no more.
 * When I try to troubleshoot it, in the documentation it says to:
    ** 1. Download
   the file mentioned in the error message via FTP or the file manager provided 
   in your host’s control panel.
 * Unfortunately the first 3 error messages deal with errors in the wp-login.php
   file and I cannot seem to locate this file anywhere on my server.
 * How can I fix this bug, or where do I find the location of this needed file?
 * Any help is greatl appreciated!
 * Thank you,
    Feli

 * Just download WordPress and review the file structure?

 * Hello,
    what do you mean by “download wordpress”? To where? I can see the file
   structure using my FTP client but cannot seem to find the wp-login.php file.
 * Thank you!

 * I think your hosting providers should be able to help you locate this file for
   you, it may be in an ambiguous directory like “public_html”.
