 * Any ideas on what the problem might be I’ve tried removing white space in the
   config file and deleting plugins but it hasn’t worked.
 * Any ideas?

 * this all comes from an opening space in `wp-config.php`
    before the opening `
   <?php` delete that space

 * I’ve removed all the white space in the entire file and I still get the same 
   error.
 * Could it be something else?
