 * The error occurred in general-template.php at line 269. It is usually caused 
   by a blank line or unwanted spaces in the file named. However, since this is 
   in a WordPress standard file, it is probably caused by a plugin or the file may
   be corrupted.
 * Try deactivating all plugins to see if the error goes away. If not, try switching
   to the default theme. If you still get the error, try reinstalling WP.
