Cannot modify header information ERROR

Regarding a site I built and recently updated (http://www.curtbulloch.com/) I now am having trouble with. Sometimes I can not access the site at all without putting in the “www” and I also can’t login to the admin side.

I get the following error:

Warning: Cannot modify header information – headers already sent by (output started at /home/curtbull/public_html/wp-content/themes/business-lite/core/actions/footer-actions.php:1) in /home/curtbull/public_html/wp-includes/pluggable.php on line 876

Anybody know why? All I did was update the theme and I did remove the following footer code from the footer-actions.php file:
<a href="http://cyberchimps.com/" target="_blank"><img src="<?php echo get_template_directory_uri(); ?>/images/achimps.png" alt="credit" /></a>

Appreciate any help

You may have inadvertently added space to the top of that file:

If you can’t login, you’ll need to use FTP to access the site and deactivate that theme – it should then default to the default WP theme and allow you to login again. Then fix the file in question.

Are you using a child theme for these changes to theme files? It’s never recommended to modify theme files directly…

Thanks for your help WPyogi. I actually replaced the footer-action.php file with a fresh copy and that did the trick. Somehow when I tried to remove the CyberChimps link from the footer it caused the problem.

Do you have any idea how I can safely remove that without causing such a ruckus?

I’d suggest checking around and/or asking on the developers website:

Yes, I did find the solution here in case anybody else needs it too.

In the following directory
/wp-content/themes/business-lite/core/actions

change the link at the very bottom of the footer-actions.php file

in the section starting with
function business_secondary_footer_credit() {
?>
<div id=”credit” class=”six columns”>
