Title: Headers Problem with Site Last modified: August 20, 2016 --- # Headers Problem with Site * [CoolRunLT](https://wordpress.org/support/users/coolrunlt/) * (@coolrunlt) * [14 years, 1 month ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/headers-problem-with-site/) * I’m having a horrible time as my site has completely shut down :-(. Here is the error it shows on my site at [http://www.sharpefit.com](http://www.sharpefit.com): Warning: Cannot modify header information – headers already sent by (output started at /hermes/bosweb26d/b843/ipg.sharpefitcom/wp-config.php:1) in /hermes/bosweb26d/ b843/ipg.sharpefitcom/wp-includes/pluggable.php on line 866 * Then, when I try to go in to my admin section, it gives me: Warning: Cannot modify header information – headers already sent by (output started at /hermes/ bosweb26d/b843/ipg.sharpefitcom/wp-login.php:1) in /hermes/bosweb26d/b843/ipg. sharpefitcom/wp-login.php on line 349 * Warning: Cannot modify header information – headers already sent by (output started at /hermes/bosweb26d/b843/ipg.sharpefitcom/wp-login.php:1) in /hermes/bosweb26d/ b843/ipg.sharpefitcom/wp-login.php on line 361 * I’ve tried the ob_start ob_flush attempt. I’ve tried removing all blank lines from all the different files before and after the PHP and ?> sequences. I’m hoping there is another strategy out there that can help save my site!!! * Here is the code for my wp-config file: _ [ Moderated – Where to start…?

That means, as Digital Raindrops mentioned, the problem lies elsewhere. * Have you added anything new to the site (plugins, themes) that were not there prior to this issue occuring. Try activating another theme (if you recently activated the theme you are using, or deactiving a recently added plugin to see if the problem goes away. It’s a process of elimination now. Good luck! * Thread Starter [CoolRunLT](https://wordpress.org/support/users/coolrunlt/) * (@coolrunlt) * [14 years, 1 month ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/headers-problem-with-site/#post-2659024) * Thanks for your help. This will be very tricky as I have had the Admired Theme live for a few months now, and haven’t really changed anything (only have 3 plugins that haven’t been added recently or changed). From what I remember, there are no upgrades that I did in the last 48 hours if not longer. * It was weird as this just happened when I was just browsing my website randomly as a user (not even in the admin section). All of a sudden the page when blank( white), then decided to start showing the error messages all throughout. * Thread Starter [CoolRunLT](https://wordpress.org/support/users/coolrunlt/) * (@coolrunlt) * [14 years, 1 month ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/headers-problem-with-site/#post-2659025) * Would you also recommend removing the plugins from FTP all together or just renaming them for the time being until I find the culprit? * FTP is my only option since the admin section is completely dead at this point. * [Digital Raindrops](https://wordpress.org/support/users/adeptris/) * (@adeptris) * [14 years, 1 month ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/headers-problem-with-site/#post-2659031) * Once you are sure it is nothing you have done, contact your ISP to see if there have been any updates PHP, mySql folder structure etc: to their system that might cause a problem. * Nothing can get updated without the Admin choosing to update via updates or ftp. * > From what I remember, there are no upgrades that I did in the last 48 hours > if not longer * Look at the datestamps on the plugins and themes folders, updates remove and re-create the folders and all files. * HTH * David * Thread Starter [CoolRunLT](https://wordpress.org/support/users/coolrunlt/) * (@coolrunlt) * [14 years, 1 month ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/headers-problem-with-site/#post-2659111) * Another quick question. I go into each file through FTP and double check white space, and there isn’t any. I save the file, and each time I refresh my admin screen after doing that, a new error pops-up. Now it mentions output with /plugin. php. Any reason for the consistent changes in error messages after save? * Warning: Cannot modify header information – headers already sent by (output started at /hermes/bosweb26d/b843/ipg.sharpefitcom/wp-includes/plugin.php:1) in /hermes/ bosweb26d/b843/ipg.sharpefitcom/wp-login.php on line 349 * Warning: Cannot modify header information – headers already sent by (output started at /hermes/bosweb26d/b843/ipg.sharpefitcom/wp-includes/plugin.php:1) in /hermes/ bosweb26d/b843/ipg.sharpefitcom/wp-login.php on line 361 * [esmi](https://wordpress.org/support/users/esmi/) * (@esmi) * [14 years, 1 month ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/headers-problem-with-site/#post-2659119) * See [Solving “headers already sent” warnings](http://codex.wordpress.org/FAQ_Troubleshooting#How_do_I_solve_the_Headers_already_sent_warning_problem.3F).
