 * I loaded a WP install through Simple scripts and added theme. I have done this
   before with different themes and never had any problems.
 * I am using this template and would like to use it as it works well for for my
   site.
    [http://wptemplates.org/?p=1625](http://wptemplates.org/?p=1625)
 * I do not have any plugins intalled.
 * Each time I try to change the words in the header I get this error message: (
   x’s where my sit name would be)
 * Warning: Cannot modify header information – headers already sent by (XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX.
   php:975) in /home3/XXXXXXXXXXXXXX/pluggable.php on line 850
 * Then it eventually changes to the correct words in the header and the site looks
   fine.
 * When I try to make a post. I get this message below the post.
 * Cannot modify header information – headers already sent by (output started at/
   home3/xxxxxxxxxxx/wp-content/themes/dollar/functions.php:975) in /home3/xxxxxxx/
   wp-includes/classes.php on line 1571
 * I have uninstalled WP and the theme and reuploaded and get same message. Any 
   help appreciated.

 * hi
 * often that error message occurs when there is any blank spaces or lines at the
   top or bottom of a PHP file.
 * i would start with functions.php (in your theme folder /wp-content/themes/{theme
   name} ) if you find anything between the starting and closing PHP tags <?php 
   at the top and ?> at the bottom )
    delete them
 * best always to make a copy of your file before changing anything, in case you
   make a mistake.

 * Wow! I spent hours of time on this and was so frustrated. I had read that before
   but didnt understand it, till you explained it again. This time I looked on the
   bottom and it works perfectly!
 * Please visit my new site ..in process..
