 * Hello,
 * I don’t manage to fix the white-space problem, as I get the error message. It
   happens already to me before, on others website, but back then the simple fact
   of minifying the functions.php of my child theme did resolve the problem.
 * So this time I’ve tried :
    – To desactivate each plugin one by one and refresh
   the updraft plus page each time – To minify all the files includes in my child
   theme, absolutely all of them.
 * None of these get my problem solved… And I have to present my website for an 
   examination in 5 days…
 * Any idea plz ?
 * Thanks for your work,
 * Noémie

 * Hi,
    Thanks for quick answer,
 * I’ve read already the article about white-spaces problems. As I told you, it’s
   not the first time it happens to me and I’ve already spent a long time fixing
   it last time.
 * This time I’m running out of solutions : Before changing the theme, I just disable
   the child theme to able again the parent theme (=>Astra), and there was no more
   extra-white space problem.
 * Si I’ve try to remove files in the child-theme one by one, and obviously this
   was because of functions.php.
 * The problem was that this file was already totally minify… But after a while 
   I realize I’ve push four times the “enter” button, an action which have created
   5 unnecessary lines….
 * And that was all ! I delete these lines, no more whitespace problem 🙂 🙂
 * Hope that will help someone else one day 🙂
 * Thanks, and bye
