 * Yesterday I went and visited my blog. Everything seemed normal, I went to the
   admin section, and right in the top these errors are showing up:
 * Warning: Cannot modify header information – headers already sent by (output started
   at /var/www/wp-includes/vars.php:2) in /var/www/wp-admin/admin.php on line 10
 * Warning: Cannot modify header information – headers already sent by (output started
   at /var/www/wp-includes/vars.php:2) in /var/www/wp-admin/admin.php on line 11
 * Warning: Cannot modify header information – headers already sent by (output started
   at /var/www/wp-includes/vars.php:2) in /var/www/wp-admin/admin.php on line 12
 * Warning: Cannot modify header information – headers already sent by (output started
   at /var/www/wp-includes/vars.php:2) in /var/www/wp-admin/admin.php on line 13
 * Any ideas? Should I replace teh vars.php file? The admin.php file? Thanks.

 * It is always a wise thing to [search](http://search.wordpress.org/Cannot+modify+header+information+-+headers+already+sent)
   for the error message…

 * Download vars.php
    Open in Notepad make sute ther very first thing on the top
   line is
 * `<?php`
 * Nothing at all must be before that.
    While you are there, check that the absolute
   last thing in that file is
 * `?>`
 * with nothign at all after it – no carriage returns, no whitespace. Zilch 🙂
 * Then save and reupload.

 * I did search for the error messages and I didn’t find anything. I am not new 
   to searching, thanks for your concern.

 * Thank You Podz, seems as there was white space before the <?php, everything seems
   to be working fine now.
 * Thanks.

 * Hmmm… In less polite places they’d say that’s a f!@#$ing lie! There are 1180 
   hits.
