Errors whenever activating plugins

    I keep getting errors whenever I activate some of my plugins, which all say something like this:

    Warning: Cannot modify header information – headers already sent by (output started at /home/website/public_html/wp-content/plugins/post-templates-by-cat.php:75) in /home/website/public_html/wp-admin/plugins.php on line 16

    I have no idea how to fix it other than to not use any plugins. Any ideas?

    Edit: Note that I mean, when I click the “activate” button, it takes me to a page with that error message. If I go back one in my history, then the plugin is activated and everything’s dippy dandy– but that error message page makes me a little uneasy. Should it?

  • just a guess, try chmoding the theme files to 666

    post-templates-by-cat.php

    Download that.
    Scroll to the very bottom
    Put the cursor between the ? and the >
    Press Delete for a few seconds
    Press >
    Save – without pressing anything else.
    Upload and all should be good?

    Unless he’s using a Mac, in which case he’s royally screwed himself, since the delete key works the same as backspace on a PC ??

    umm… delete gets rid of everything past the cursor, without moving the cursor, but essentially “sucking up and destroying” everything beyond it. the backspace erases everything behind the cursor, while moving.

    pods is correct… and no, the delete key and the backspace key do NOT do the same thing on a PC…

    What I meant was “the delete key [on a Mac] works the same as a backspace on a PC”. I thought that was obvious that I was talking about the delete key on a Mac when I wrote it, but I can see the ambiguity now.

    I do know that the delete and backspace keys on a PC work in different direction.

    Wow, Podz, thanks, that worked perfectly.

    …

    Why did that work?

    You had an extra line (or more) of whitespace below the last piece of code. What you were doing was deleting those extra lines.
