   started at /home2/theartsr/public_html/wp-content/themes/unspoken/core/theme_options.
   php:1) in /home2/theartsr/public_html/wp-content/themes/unspoken/functions.php

   <? just remove the blank line

 * i saw the file theme_option but it doesn’t have space before but after like
    
   <?php
 * // Admin styles & scripts
 * I don’t think it will do anything. but i tried removing it. but it wouldn’t work
 * Edit: the line 19 on functions is
    `if (!isset($_COOKIE['mode'])) setcookie('
   mode', ( get_option('unspoken_view_type') == '0' ) ? 'list' : 'grid', time() 
   + 60 * 60 * 24 * 30, COOKIEPATH, COOKIE_DOMAIN, false);` Also i have noticed 
   that everytime i do /wp-login , it ask me for my password.instead shouldn’t it
   be remembering my login until the cookie times expire?

 * These forums are for either WordPress core or free themes; for premium themes,
   go to the developer’s website for support and/or a new download.
 * “headers already sent” errors seldom refer to relevant lines of code; the issue
   can be most anywhere.

 * songdogtech i know premium themes have dedicated forums but i don’t have a registration

   help

 * it says: headers already sent by (output started at /home2/theartsr/public_html/
   wp-content/themes/unspoken/core/theme_options.php:1)
 * which tells me that line 1 of that file has something on it, since that’s where
   it’s saying that the headers were started.
