Title: Error – Warning: Cannot modify header information no FTP Last modified: August 22, 2016 --- # Error – Warning: Cannot modify header information no FTP * Resolved [jroberts2244](https://wordpress.org/support/users/jroberts2244/) * (@jroberts2244) * [11 years, 6 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/error-warning-cannot-modify-header-information-no-ftp/) * By error I placed a Google analytics tag onto the theme of the website. I now can not log into wp-login and am getting this error: * Warning: Cannot modify header information – headers already sent by (output started at /home/thi19017/public_html/wp-content/themes/html5blank-master/functions.php: 1) in /home/thi19017/public_html/wp-login.php on line 418 * Warning: Cannot modify header information – headers already sent by (output started at /home/thi19017/public_html/wp-content/themes/html5blank-master/functions.php: 1) in /home/thi19017/public_html/wp-login.php on line 431 * There is also not a FTP set up for this site.

When you don’t have access to your admin area, you can switch to the default theme by renaming your current theme’s folder in wp-content/themes and adding “-old” to the end of the folder name using via [FTP or SFTP ](http://codex.wordpress.org/FTP_Clients) or whatever file management application your host provides. * Also review this Codex: [http://codex.wordpress.org/FAQ_Troubleshooting#How_do_I_solve_the_Headers_already_sent_warning_problem.3F](http://codex.wordpress.org/FAQ_Troubleshooting#How_do_I_solve_the_Headers_already_sent_warning_problem.3F) * Thread Starter [jroberts2244](https://wordpress.org/support/users/jroberts2244/) * (@jroberts2244) * [11 years, 6 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/error-warning-cannot-modify-header-information-no-ftp/#post-5472148) * Thanks for your reply Tara. So there is no way to edit without accessing the FTP or SFTP? I’m new to the company and we don’t have contact details for the old website manager. * Moderator [t-p](https://wordpress.org/support/users/t-p/) * (@t-p) * [11 years, 6 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/error-warning-cannot-modify-header-information-no-ftp/#post-5472150) * > So there is no way to edit without accessing the FTP or SFTP? * – unless you have access to the dashboard. If don’t then you need to use FTP or SFTP or whatever file management application your host provides. * – Probably you can also do it via accessing your database in mysql as well, which. But iam sure you need to have login credentials to get in your mysql. Also, I have no idea which table in mysql to tweak. * [CMSHelpLive](https://wordpress.org/support/users/cmshelplivecom/) * (@cmshelplivecom) * [11 years, 6 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/error-warning-cannot-modify-header-information-no-ftp/#post-5472178) * Hi, * just add on the top of wp-login.php page * Thread Starter [jroberts2244](https://wordpress.org/support/users/jroberts2244/) * (@jroberts2244) * [11 years, 6 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/error-warning-cannot-modify-header-information-no-ftp/#post-5472252) * So we no longer have contact to our website designer.

The default WordPress theme should take over and let you back, then you can focus on repairing the damaged theme. * [edit] `` is not actually a fix for the issue with the theme.
