• While researching a rash of 404 errors that keep occurring during routine admin tasks on some sites I run WordPress 3.0.4 on, I came across a comment that indicated there was an unclosed php tag in the admin-header.php file. I have searched for nearly 1.5 hours trying to find out more about this, but I keep coming up blank (maybe my search skills stink, but I can’t seem to find out any more about it.

    The errors on my sites seemed to start with version 3+ but possibly sooner as I was on a hiatus ?? for about 6 months.

    I’ve been having a significant number of errors lately while doing routine WP admin tasks, and I have tried so many things that I’m willing to follow any lead I can find that might help me resolve my issues.

    Is this something that is done purposely? I added a ?> at the end of the admin-header.php file just in case but I would prefer to know if I’ve done something that might introduce more errors or security issues.

    I won’t know if the constant 404 errors / 500 internal server errors have been corrected until I work with the site again, but I would appreciate anyone telling me how I can find out if this is important. (Since I did edit my admin-header.php file on 2 sites as a test of sorts, and I might need to change it back…)
