Yup – and it’s easy to fix.
Download wp-config.php
Open in a plain text editor
Scroll to the very end and you’ll see
?>
Put the cursor between those two characters, then hold DELETE on your keyboard for 10 seconds.
Then press > and save the file without touching anything else – no more keypresses. Upload and it should be good.
Thanks, can you be more specific about what I’m deleting?
This is what I see towards the end of the wp-config document : can you show me what it should look like?
define (‘WPLANG’, ”);
/* Stop editing */
define(‘ABSPATH’, dirname(__FILE__).’/’);
require_once(ABSPATH.’wp-settings.php’);
?>
That last
?>
Delete the >
hold delete for 10 seconds
Press >
then save without pressing another key.
It should look exactly the same as you have it now.
But there seems to be some whitespace added in your wp-config.php file which is giving the warning.
So basically by following the method podz outlined, you are making sure you have no whitespaces/extra stuff that some editors place.
🙁 sorry. Still am not understanding. I opened the file in my text editor and deleted all the white space, but I’m still getting the same error mesage:
<?php
// ** MySQL settings ** //
define ( ‘DB_NAME’ , ‘spilling_wrdp1’ ) ; // The name of the database
define ( ‘DB_USER’ , ‘spilling_wrdp1’ ) ; // Your MySQL username
define ( ‘DB_PASSWORD’ , ‘dqV70UxP8jKv’ ) ; // …and password
define ( ‘DB_HOST’ , ‘localhost’ ) ; // 99% chance you won’t need to change this value
// Change the prefix if you want to have multiple blogs in a single database.
$table_prefix = ‘wp_’; // example: ‘wp_’ or ‘b2’ or ‘mylogin_’
// Change this to localize WordPress. A corresponding MO file for the
// chosen language must be installed to wp-includes/languages.
// For example, install de.mo to wp-includes/languages and set WPLANG to ‘de’
// to enable German language support.
define (‘WPLANG’, ”);
/* Stop editing */
define(‘ABSPATH’, dirname(__FILE__).’/’);
require_once(ABSPATH.’wp-settings.php’);
?>
`/* Stop editing */
define(‘ABSPATH’, dirname(__FILE__).’/’);
require_once(ABSPATH.’wp-settings.php’);
?>
The white space is after the last
?>
It’t not before then, just after then.
what editor are you using?
What podz is trying to get you to do is to open the wp-config.php file and delete all of the whitespace between the last ?> and the end of the file.
The ?> must be on the last line of the file with nothing following it.
Thank you, it was the white space after.
