    Please help, I am completely stuck! I am getting the following error onthe login page of a client’s site – “ERROR: Cookies are blocked due to unexpected output.”

    I have searched the forums and searched google and tried every single suggestion, but I have still had no luck. Just a list of what I’ve tried:

    – checked the UTF-8 versus UTF-8 BOM encoding for the config.php and functions.php files
    – deactivated all the plugins
    – activated the default theme
    – set wp_debug and wp_debug_log to true and haven’t gotten any errors
    – I manually updated WordPress by uploading the newest version files through FTP

    I’m stumped and I’m not sure what else to try — so, any help would be greatly appreciated!

    The site is: https://wintersgroupinc.com

    Thank you in advance …

    Liz

    If the trouble shooting steps you listed did not help, then check the error logs on your server for a more specific error message and see why it’s failing. If you need help locating them, ask your hosting provider to help you with that.

    Unfortunately, there are no other error logs or indicators just the “ERROR: Cookies are blocked due to unexpected output.” — which makes the situation even more frustrating …

    If you cannot find the server error logs or if you don’t find any helpful info in the error logs, try Enabling debugging and post the results.

    There is no error log on the server accessible through FTP, I have activated debugging in the config file and also activated the debug file and still no errors are displaying and there is no error log showing up in the wp-content folder — this is getting very frustrating — anything else that anyone can suggest?

    I have already activated the default theme by changing the name of the current theme’s folder to rule out a theme issue. I’ve deactivated the plugins – and still no change with the login page — I am stumped …

    Any insight?

    I am not using those widgets, so i just deleted their definition in the theme file.

    Thanks!

    Glad u got it sorted ??

    I am working on a site- and I have an extremely limited background in html, css. I too got the “ERROR: Cookies are blocked due to unexpected output. For help, please see this documentation or try the support forums.” My problem is I didn’t set up the site initially so I never downloaded wordpress or the files. I am an admin on the site- and have been adding galleries, tags and doing simple adjustments. However, on Wednesday evening I decided to add a header. Entered one line of code into the php… and then added a line to the custom css. The header looked great- but I soon realized my galleries weren’t loading. I went back deleted the line- galleries were still messed up- so I added it back so the site looked better for a presentation the next morning. I got the white screen of death as well as this error message. I know it’s because I messed up the php file. Is there another way to access the files when my only way was always through the website? I’ve “broken” wordpress sites about 4 times… but never had this happen. Thanks for any direction you may have!
