 * Hi,
 * I get this error:
 * `Warning: Cannot modify header information - headers already sent by (output 
   started at /home/designst/public_html/wp-content/themes/generatepress_child/functions.
   php:1) in /home/designst/public_html/wp-includes/pluggable.php on line 1296`
 * Even if I clear out all custom code in functions.php and leave it ’empty’ with
   the standard intro as provided
 *     ```
       <?php
       /**
        * GeneratePress child theme functions and definitions.
        *
        * Add your custom PHP in this file.
        * Only edit this file if you have direct access to it on your server (to fix errors if they happen).
        */
       ```
   
 * I’m still locked out of wp-admin. I need to delete functions.php to get access…
 * What’s the fix for this? I have som custom code I’d like to add, and would prefer
   not doing it with a plugin.

 * Hi there,
 * first trying accessing your site using FTP or whatever file explorer your server
   provides and removing the content of the functions.php.
 * If the error still persists then it is most likely related to a plugin. If you
   still cannot access the admin of your site, once again use FTP/file explorer 
   to temporarily disable or remove any other plugins. Disabling plugins can be 
   done by simply changing their folder name.
