 * `Warning: ob_start(): output handler 'ob_gzhandler' cannot be used after 'URL-
   Rewriter' in /functions.php on line 585
 * I get this after I enabled compression under Options
 * I checked functions.php and line 585 is `ob_start('ob_gzhandler');`
 * There are no extra spaces before or after the php tags in functions.php
    How 
   do I solve this?

 * Solved it.
 * Followed [this post](http://weblogtoolscollection.com/archives/2004/07/31/gzip-compression-issue-in-wordpress-12-mingus/)
 * However instead of .htaccess you may need to put it in php.ini depending on your
   host config. My host requires php.ini
