"Headers Already Sent" error

This error is usually caused by a blank line or extra unwanted spaces in the first file named (post-template.php: line 54). Since this is a system file, it may have gotten corrupted.

If you have not made changes to the file, replace it with a fresh copy from a new download of WordPress.

Wow, so I downloaded a fresh copy, decided to go ahead and toss 3.0.1 on there…

And WP isn’t even acknowledging that I did it!! See my new thread here…

I got the install issues resolved, and 3.0.1 is now running smoothly – thus that file is also a fresh copy.

But this error persists whenever I post…

(I also seem to be having Feedburner errors, which may or may not be related?)

That error is usually caused by spaces or blank lines in the wp-config file and that is the one file you don’t replace when reinstalling or upgrading! See here.
But of course the error can also be caused by errors in theme or plugin files which are also not replaced when you upgrade WordPress.

Okay, I checked that out.

Here’s my error:

Warning: Cannot modify header information – headers already sent by (output started at /homepages/18/d222955516/htdocs/blog/wp-includes/post-template.php:54) in /homepages/18/d222955516/htdocs/blog/wp-includes/pluggable.php on line 890

Implying, I infer, that the error is on Line 54 of post-template.php

I’ve checked that file, and did the recommended fix to the beginning and end. It displays for me in a big bunch, with no line breaks, so I’m not sure what the 54 refers to.

I also tried just re-uploading a clean copy of the file.

Nothing seems to make any difference…

There’s two files mentioned in that error, but just to be sure, make your wp-config file anew and if that doesn’t help try using the default thema and deactivate plugins to see if it helps. I’m no specialist, but I can imagine that a file uses a file that uses a WP file while the latter is not necessarily the cause.

Consider reading this:

A plugin may cause the error. It did in my case.

The error was caused in the first file mentioned, not the second. Since it is in the wp-includes folder, it is a standard WP file. If it is not corrupted, the most likely cause is a plugin or possibly a user-defined filter or shortcode.

Found this little piece of trickery worked to resolve the problem for me. I had done all the steps of looking for white space etc. and nothing was fixing the problem.

Finally, I disabled the plug-ins and wham bam problem went away. The apparent offender was Lucia’sLinkLove.

Hope this helps someone
