What is pluggable.php and why does it give errors?

  • I’m hoping one of the mods or someone who knows more about wordpress than I do can answer a question for me. From time to time I encounter a pluggable.php error on my various sites. Up until now I’ve tried to find work arounds for this problem. But today I moved a site from another server to mine and got this error again (the one about can’t modify headers is the one I seem to run into, don’t know if there’s a different type.)

    I deleted half of the plugins to resolve the error.

    Obviously I’d kind of like those plugins, that’s why I had them in the first place.

    My question, what is pluggable.php? What does it do? Why does it give errors so often?

    And if I add those plugins back, is it going to give me the error again? Why did it not give the error on the other server, but it does on mine?

    I’m just trying to understand this at a more core level, since I’ve encountered it quite often.

    Thanks so much for any help you can give.

  • It’s not pluggable.php that’s the problem. It’s some of the plugins that you’re trying to use. They’re not compatible with your version of WordPress.

    esmi, you did not answer her question, what is pluggable.php?

    I would like to know as I see it is involved with php mailing, and I am wondering how it got installed, through wp or ?

    Please help & thank you in advance.

    pluggable.php is a wordpress core file in the /wp-includes folder
    it comes with the wordpress install
