 * Bummer. After having received malware into my site (and cleaned it up), I’m now
   having these messages popup when I e.g. make a change to a page/uninstall plugins,
   etc.:
 * Warning: Cannot modify header information – headers already sent by (output started
   at /home/content/03/2270203/html/wp-load.php:1) in /home/content/03/2270203/html/
   wp-admin/post.php on line 233
 * Warning: Cannot modify header information – headers already sent by (output started
   at /home/content/03/2270203/html/wp-load.php:1) in /home/content/03/2270203/html/
   wp-includes/pluggable.php on line 1173
 * Does anyone know how I clean this up? I’m lost – help…
 * Best,
    Soren

 * Well this is a PHP error which displays when you try to redirect the user after
   you have displayed something on the screen.
 * I see hat the problem is in wp-load.php file. I think that there is a black space
   in the line 1 in that file.
    Make sure that there is no space and _<?php_ starts
   in the first line itself.
 * If this does not solve your problem, then please let me know. Also if you could
   share the link to your website, it would help.
 * regards,
