Cannot modify header information error – functions.php

    I am getting a cannot modify header information error on my functions.php, more specifically a file it’s including (which is not the issue).

    Warning: Cannot modify header information - headers already sent by (output started at /home/yc/domains/yc.keytoe.nl/public_html/wp-content/themes/yourconnector/inc/metaboxes.php:6) in /home/yc/domains/yc.keytoe.nl/public_html/wp-includes/pluggable.php on line 881

    Metaboxes.php is my metabox file, where I have all my code for just that. Everything works fine except when trying to save anything, I get a blank page. The save is succesful but I have to manually go back to wp-admin and that obviously isn’t how it’s supposed to work.

    My metaboxes.php code is:

    <?
// --- METABOX CREATE --- //
add_action('admin_init', 'page_spec_meta');

function page_spec_meta(){
(this is line 6)	$post_id = $_GET['post'] ? $_GET['post'] : $_POST['post_ID'] ; $template_file = get_post_meta($post_id,'_wp_page_template',TRUE);
 if ($template_file == 'talenten.php')
    {
		add_meta_box("career-meta", "Career", "career_meta", "page", "normal", "high");
        add_meta_box("business-meta", "Business", "business_meta", "page", "normal", "high");
        add_meta_box("inspired-meta", "inspired", "inspired_meta", "page", "normal", "high");
        add_meta_box("network-meta", "Network", "network_meta", "page", "normal", "high");
        add_meta_box("future-meta", "Future", "future_meta", "page", "normal", "high");
    }
	if ($template_file == 'bedrijven.php')
    {
		add_meta_box("unique-meta", "Unique", "unique_meta", "page", "normal", "high");
        add_meta_box("providing-meta", "Providing", "providing_meta", "page", "normal", "high");
        add_meta_box("inspired-meta", "inspired", "inspired_meta", "page", "normal", "high");
        add_meta_box("network-meta", "Network", "network_meta", "page", "normal", "high");
        add_meta_box("future-meta", "Future", "future_meta", "page", "normal", "high");
    }
}

....rest of the page
?>

    I can’t really figure out what’s wrong. It can’t be whitespaces, checked all that.

    It differs per page. On the page where I save the metaboxes I only get that error, yes. On pages that don’t have the meta boxes I get errors telling me wordpress can’t find the meta boxes, but that’s logic.

    Try it with this metaboxes.php: https://pastebin.com/gr7zVEkU

    Check if WP_DEBUG is set to true in your wp-config.php:

    If so, set it to false.

    Magic! Did it have to do with the admin_init?
    I’ve got to look through that a couple of times to see what I did wrong.

    Works perfectly, thanks a lot!

    Your code produced a lot of Notices when WP_DEBUG was set to true, so I changed it to not produce any notices. When using the ‘save_post’ action hook you cannot produce errors or notices (or print or echo something out). If you do, you get the headers already sent by … in wp-includes/pluggable.php error. I changed the admin_init to load-post.php action hook so it only executes on already published posts.

    I’m glad you got it solved.
